Necromancer: I Am A Disaster

Chapter 274: Instakill; Great Rewards

Lin Moyu sighed inwardly, realizing he had been approaching the battle incorrectly. As a Necromancer, he wasn’t meant to engage in direct combat. He could watch from a distance, letting his skeletons gradually wear down the enemy. He could even afford to take a nap. However, the urgency of the situation forced him to act as a tank. He didn’t want his skeletons to suffer losses, and time was pressing.

The Skeletal Warriors swarmed the Archaic Earth Dragon, attacking relentlessly. Hundreds had already climbed onto it, with more at its legs and under its body. Over a thousand Skeletal Warriors were positioned to unleash their skill simultaneously. The 1,690 Skeletal Mages had stopped their fire.

"Come over here and cast Collection, quick!" Lin Moyu shouted once everything was ready.

Mu Xianxian responded immediately. At level 59, she was much faster than Lin Moyu. She dashed over and released a burst of fireworks, and then retreated even faster.

As the fireworks exploded, Lin Moyu activated his most powerful skill: Enhance Troops.

[Enhance Troops: for 30 seconds, increases all basic attributes of the host and their summons by 200%, and all attacks deal an additional 500% of damage. Cooldown: 1 hour.]

The rune on his hand glowed brightly, sending radiant light to every Skeletal Warrior. Their attributes surged, and they unleashed their Berserk Strike skill.

With Enhance Troops active, the level 33 Skeletal Warriors’ strength attribute skyrocketed from 52,000 to 156,000. With the Lich Generals’ Legion Enhancement, their strength reached 200,000. Berserk Strike then multiplied their damage by 400%, equating to 800,000 points of strength—plus an additional 500% damage…

Despite the Archaic Earth Dragon's 70% Physical Damage Reduction, the damage from this strike was still significant. The same held true for the Skeletal Mages, whose spirit attribute neared 400,000 after Enhance Troops and Legion Enhancement—plus an additional 500% damage... Their skills now dealt astronomical damage.

As the Archaic Earth Dragon turned its attention to Mu Xianxian, glowing with mottled light spots. But before it could take any action, Lin Moyu’s Soul Blaze drilled into its head. Thanks to Enhance Troops, his spirit force had increased significantly, and Soul Blaze’s power rose sharply, inflicting unbearable pain on the boss.

The Archaic Earth Dragon finally screamed in agony, shifting its focus back to Lin Moyu, opening its mouth to unleash a breath. But at that moment, the skeletons’ attacks landed.

Over a thousand Skeletal Warriors unleashed their most powerful strike, filling the sky with crimson radiance in a breathtaking display. Simultaneously, 1,690 magic spells streaked through the air, illuminating the dungeon in a cascade of brilliant light. The Archaic Earth Dragon let out a final, agonized roar before collapsing, the light in its eyes gradually dimming until it was completely extinguished.

[Killed Archaic Earth Dragon, EXP +5,800,000]

[Obtained Earth Dragon Armor]

[Obtained Earth Crystal]

[Obtained Earth Gem]

[Obtained Heart of the Earth]

[Obtained Earth Dragon Armor through Collection]

[Obtained Earth Crystal through Collection]

[Obtained Earth Gem through Collection]

[Obtained Heart of the Earth through Collection]

[Earth Dragon Armor (Warrior exclusive): platinum rank protective equipment, all attributes +2,000, taken damage reduced by 20%. Supplementary skill: Total Defense.]

[Total Defense: for 1 minute, defense increased a thousandfold and damage taken reduced by 99%. Cooldown: 20 minutes.]

[Earth Dragon Armor (Warrior exclusive): platinum rank protective equipment, all attributes +2,000, taken damage reduced by 20%.]

[Earth Crystal: can be combined with other single-element Elemental Crystals to create an Elemental Divine Stone, which can increase the chances of class sublimation during the third class awakening; the more elements fused, the stronger the stone's effect. Can also be used alone to permanently enhance physical resistance, but doing so prevents its use in forming the Elemental Divine Stone.]

[Earth Gem: permanently reduces physical damage by 50% and may grant a physical-type skill. When used by a Sacred Knight during the second class awakening, it significantly increases the chance of class sublimation.]

[Heart of the Earth: essential item for becoming an Earth Knight.]

The Archaic Earth Dragon was instantly slain in the all-out attack, leaving no room for suspense. The Enhance Troops skill, incredibly powerful on its own, became unstoppable in Lin Moyu's hands.

Thanks to the Collection skill, Lin Moyu received double rewards, including two pieces of the Earth Dragon Armor—each with different attributes. One had an exceptional supplementary skill, while the other didn’t. But the real treasures were Earth Gem and Earth Crystal, which were unexpected and valuable gains. Lin Moyu couldn’t help but feel a surge of joy.

Teaming up with a Collection Master was incredibly profitable, especially for someone like him who usually fought solo.

Mu Xianxian, full of excitement, ran over and exclaimed, "Awesome! You actually instakilled the boss."

Lin Moyu smiled and handed her the Earth Dragon Armor with the supplementary skill.

Mu Xianxian was overjoyed, "Is this for me?"

Lin Moyu responded with a mhm, "Check if it’s better than your own armor."

Mu Xianxian quickly examined the attributes and immediately switched to the new armor, visibly delighted. The brand-new Earth Dragon Armor accentuated her graceful figure, and she clearly loved it. She didn’t ask about the other items, displaying her pure and unselfish nature.

Lin Moyu thought for a moment and tossed her an Earth Gem, "Use it now."

Mu Xianxian was startled by the Earth Gem's effects. "Isn’t it a waste to give this to me?" She asked, surprised. Given its powerful attributes, she believed Lin Moyu should use it himself or at least give it to a Knight-type class user. It seemed like a waste to give it to her.

Lin Moyu dismissed her concerns, "Stop talking nonsense. Use it quickly. We still have more dungeon runs to complete."

"Oh!" Without further argument, Mu Xianxian activated the Earth Gem, and an earthy-yellow light enveloped her.

Meanwhile, Lin Moyu fused an Earth Crystal with his Elemental Divine Stone, gaining an Elemental Divine Stone with fire, poison, and earth elements.

[Elemental Divine Stone (fire, poison, earth): increases the chances of class sublimation by 10% during the third class awakening.]

Even though a three-element Elemental Divine Stone only increased the sublimation chance by 10%, Lin Moyu needed more Elemental Crystals to boost his odds further. As for the Earth Gem, he didn’t need it. He planned to see if the boss would drop Earth Gem again. If not, he’d save it for Shi Xing’an to enhance his chances of becoming an Earth Knight.

Lin Moyu already had a passive Physical Resistance skill that reduced physical damage by four times. Even without upgrading the passive skill, his physical resistance would increase as his talent was promoted. Additionally, as a Mage, he didn’t need physical-type skills. His existing abilities, like Damage Transfer and Bone Armor, kept him safe as long as he didn’t act recklessly.

The light around Mu Xianxian faded as the fusion completed. From now on, all physical damage dealt to her would be reduced by 50%.

"Did you get a skill?" Lin Moyu asked.

Mu Xianxian’s eyes lit up. "Yes! I got a physical-type skill called *Daze."

[Daze: has a chance to stun an opponent for 5 seconds. Cooldown: 5 seconds. Against higher-level opponents, the stun duration decreases accordingly.]

"I finally have a Warrior-type skill! Thank you, thank you!"

…

Hearing the skill's name, Lin Moyu felt a twinge of envy. If Mu Xianxian’s strength exceeded her opponent's physique, she could potentially stun them indefinitely. Though less useful in group battles, Daze could be a godly skill in one-on-one duels.

Mu Xianxian was ecstatic, jumping up and down with excitement.

Lin Moyu smiled, "It’s a great skill. Get ready, we’re leaving the dungeon and going back in right away."

The dungeon run had taken 4 hours, leaving them with 4 hours and 40 minutes before the Eartheart dungeon closed—just enough time for another run, or maybe even two.
