Necromancer: I Am A Disaster

Chapter 278: Protect Lin Moyu!



After the Archaic Earth Dragon departed, the glow outside the dungeon dissipated, and everything returned to normal. The people waiting outside remained on high alert until a slight distortion in space occurred, and two figures appeared at the dungeon entrance.

"They’re out!"

"Get started!"

At the signal, both the Abyssal Demons and Dragonkind went to work. Although it took only two seconds from exiting the dungeon to completing teleportation, it was enough time to mount a strike. A burst of light exploded in the air, and a massive barrier instantly appeared, enveloping everyone inside. The Abyssal Demons, expert in barrier creation, rendering even Advanced Random Teleportation Talismans ineffective within their barrier.

The consensus among the two factions was clear: Lin Moyu had to die.

“Protect Lin Moyu!” Jiang Hanshan shouted as the assault began.

Over a hundred human class users, fully prepared, charged forward without hesitation. Jiang Hanshan, leading the charge, activated his Charge skill, reaching the dungeon entrance first.

Skill: Mass Protection!

A firm, glowing shield materialized, blocking the initial wave of attacks. Massive flaming meteors rained down from the sky, launched by over 20 Dragonkind Mages. Arrows and the Abyss’s power descended like a storm of swords, causing violent explosions.

Despite the onslaught, the human class users pressed forward. Mages and Archers unleashed ranged attacks, targeting the Demons and Dragonkind. But, the other party could fly, putting the humans at a disadvantage.

Jiang Hanshan’s shield shattered under the strain, but a second shield quickly took its place as Jialan Yeyu arrived just half a beat after him. However, under the meteor barrage, the shield shattered almost instantly.

Exchanging a determined glance, Jiang Hanshan and Jialan Yeyu raised the shields in their hands, standing protectively in front of Lin Moyu and Mu Xianxian. They would defend them at all costs.

Suddenly, a white light enveloped the two, and Bone Armor appeared, blocking all the attacks.

"Thank you." Lin Moyu’s voice rang out.

“You’re welcome” Jiang Hanshan chuckled, knowing that as long as they blocked the first wave of attacks, the battle’s outcome was sealed. But the Abyssal Demons and Dragonkind didn’t understand this yet, still shouting furiously.

"He’s out! Kill him!"

"Don’t let him take the Heart of the Earth back!"

“Kill them all—leave no humans alive!”

Lin Moyu sneered and said to Jiang Hanshan, "Bring them down."

Jiang Hanshan nodded and shouted, “Flight restriction!”

The Shadow Mage in Jiang Hanshan’s party raised her stave, and a beam of light exploded in the air, forming a flight restriction field. The Abyssal Demons and Dragonkind plummeted from the sky.

"This is bad, they have a Mage with a flight restriction skill."

"So what? We can still kill them after we land."

“The flight restriction will last a minute at most—no need to worry.”

The two factions bellowed, showing no fear. But suddenly, undead legions materialized on the ground, one after another—13 legions totaling 4,290 skeletons, brimming with murderous intent.

"Why are there so many?"

“How does he have so many summoned creatures? It’s like an army.”

“Now I understand how he cleared the dungeon so quickly—he used sheer numbers to push through.”

“The flight restriction will end in a minute—then we’ll be fine.”

The Abyssal Demons and Dragonkind finally realized how Lin Moyu had managed to clear the dungeon, and in under 40 minutes no less. It wasn’t through trickery, but sheer strength. By then, however, it was too late for regrets—they were doomed. Lin Moyu wouldn’t give them a chance to recover. The Abyssal Demons and Dragonkind fell into the cold embrace of the undead legions.

A sudden heat flared on the back of Lin Moyu’s hand, followed by an explosive surge of power.

Skill: Enhance Troops!

A beautiful light descended, strengthening all the skeletons. Simultaneously, Mu Xianxian activated her Group Collection skill, and dazzling fireworks lit up the sky, catching more than half of the Abyssal Demons and Dragonkind in their glow.

"What is this..."

"Why are we glowing..."

Their confusion was cut short as the Skeletal Warriors and Skeletal Mages unleashed their skills. The damage caused by the Skeletal Warriors was immense, and screams echoed across the battlefield, soon drowned out by the magic spells. In just a few seconds, the battlefield fell silent.

With Enhance Troops activated, there was no need for Corpse Explosion—the sheer power of the Skeletal Warriors exceeded all expectations. Lin Moyu had once used Enhance Troops to obliterate an Abyssal Fire Sprite instantly, so these ordinary Demons and Dragonkind stood no chance.

As Jiang Hanshan had anticipated, the moment Lin Moyu stepped in, the battle’s outcome was decided.

A flood of notifications surged, and Lin Moyu’s EXP and military merit skyrocketed. The over 300 Abyssal Demons and Dragonkind, all above level 50, were worth nearly 700,000 military merit. Lin Moyu and Mu Xianxian split the military merit evenly.

The military badges of the two people glowed brightly. A star appeared on Lin Moyu’s colonel badge, promoting him to a one-star colonel. Mu Xianxian’s three-star lieutenant badge transformed into a colonel badge, though without a star yet.

Instead of celebrating her promotion, Mu Xianxian turned to Lin Moyu, “Wow, you’ve leveled up.”

Indeed, Lin Moyu, enveloped in white light, had reached level 34. After numerous dungeon raids and defeating powerful enemies, he had leveled up even though he shared the EXP with Mu Xianxian.

For most class users, leveling up once after level 30 took two to three months. But since Lin Moyu had started fighting without holding back, it took him just over 20 days to progress from level 31 to level 34—an exceptionally fast pace. Not only did he level up, but he also discovered that his Corpse Explosion skill had advanced to level 5.

[Corpse Explosion (level 5), detonate a corpse and deal 30% of the corpse's health as damage to enemies within a radius of 5 meters.]

With his talent's amplification, the skill's damage range expanded to 200 meters, and the damage increased to 12 times the corpse's health. Lin Moyu realized he could devastate entire core area with enough corpses. However, he quickly dismissed the idea, knowing there were no corpses in the core area. Corpses couldn't be brought into the core area either, as their health would deplete within minutes, rendering them useless. To maximize the power of Corpse Explosion, fresh corpses were essential.

The skeletons began looting the equipment from the fallen Dragonkind class users. Dragonkind gear was valuable for materials, even if it couldn’t be directly used by humans.

As Lin Moyu reviewed the massive amount of notifications, a curious look appeared in his eyes. “So Collection works on Demons too.”

[Obtained Demon Core Fragment through Collection.]

[Demon Core Fragment: after usage, the user will be enveloped in demonic aura for 1 hour.]

[Obtained Elementary Dragonkind Blood Essence through Collection.]

[Elementary Dragonkind Blood Essence: can be used to concoct potions or craft battlefield equipment.]

At first glance, Demon Core Fragments seemed trivial, merely shrouding the user in demonic aura. But Lin Moyu saw its potential—if he ever ventured into the Abyssal World, it could prove invaluable.

Typically, killing demons only yielded Demon Blood Essence, but using the Collection skill also provided Demon Core Fragments.

Dragonkind Blood Essence was another matter. Unlike the Dragonkind monsters on the Dimensional Battlefield, where they dropped items upon defeat, Lin Moyu received nothing from killing Dragonkind users on the Immemorial Battlefield. Initially, he thought they simply didn't drop anything, but now it seemed that using Collection was key for them to drop items.

Lin Moyu realized the immense value of rare class users like Mu Xianxian, not only in dungeons but also on the battlefield.

In the human faction, everyone except Jiang Hanshan and a few others was left stunned. What had appeared to be a fierce battle was over in the blink of an eye.

What skill had Lin Moyu used? How had his skeletons become so formidable? These were the questions that filled the minds of many.

The skeletons were not only many in number, but they were also incredibly strong. Otherwise, ending the battle in mere seconds would have been impossible.

Suddenly, someone pointed at Lin Moyu and shouted, "It’s a Primordial Rune skill!"

“That’s right! Look at the glow on the back of his left hand—it’s a Primordial Rune character.”

“No wonder. Every Primordial Rune is incredibly powerful. If used properly, one can unleash dozens of times the usual combat power in a short period.”

“I’m so envious. He’s only level 33... No, level 34 now. He’s only level 34, and he already obtained a Primordial Rune.”

“I’m envious too. I’ve been on the Immemorial Battlefield for years and haven’t even seen a Primordial Rune.”

“Hah, even if you had seen one, could you have kept it?”

The crowd buzzed with admiration for Lin Moyu. Over 300 Abyssal Demons and Dragonkind, all above level 50, had been wiped out so easily. Even though he had the help of a Primordial Rune, Lin Moyu’s immense strength was undeniable.
