Necromancer: I Am A Disaster - Chapter 223: This Goddamned Crazy Bastard!
Shrieks of agony rang out one after another.
The Abyssal Demon and Dragonkind Knight charging at the very front fell to the ground, unleashing miserable screams.
The sudden excruciating pain was unbearable, making it difficult for them to even maintain their balance.
When they fell, their faces contorted with fear. All around them were terrifying Soul Devour Insects. At the same time, they saw the blazing flame in Lin Moyu’s palm.
“It’s his doing!”
“That vile human!”
The Abyssal Demon and Dragonkind Knight were furious, their eyes filled with hatred, wishing they could kill the vile human in front of them.
But for now… their priority was to escape with their lives! Enduring the intense pain, they quickly got up and continued to run forward.
Since Lin Moyu had already started, there was no way he would let them escape alive.
The Soul Devour Insects would have to die as well. After all, Lin Moyu fears numbers the least.
A chilly wind surged.
On the Immemorial Battlefield, where there was no sun, the temperature was already rather low, with frozen ponds strewn about. But now the temperature had dropped even further, as if to freeze everything solid.
Two tall and imposing Lich Generals appeared beside Lin Moyu.
“Summons?”
The Abyssal Demons and Dragonkind class users showed looks of surprise. Earlier, they had seen two skeletons next to Lin Moyu. But now there were two more summons.
The Lich Generals were over three meters tall, burly in stature, flanking Lin Moyu on either side. They looked quite impressive.
But in the face of the Soul Devour Insects, size was useless. No matter how powerful their defense was, no matter if they were immune to physical attacks, it was all futile.
“This human is not right in the head! If he doesn’t run away now, he’s going to die soon!”
“There are already Soul Devour Insects heading his way. He’s as good as dead. As a mere level 30 human, he can’t outrun them!”
The Abyssal Demons and Dragonkind class users shared similar thoughts.
Due to the disturbance cause by Detection, a swarm of Soul Devour Insects was now flying toward Lin Moyu.
The two Lich Generals raised their staves high, and Skeletal Warriors and Skeletal Wages arranged in square formations appeared on the ground.
This was the first time Lin Moyu’s undead legions went to battle.
Hum!
Pale white rings of light appeared on the skeletons.
Skill: Legion Enhancement!
The attributes of the skeletons were raised by 30%, and their defense, attack speed, and casting speed were all enhanced. This single skill was comparable to most of a Prophet’s status buffs.
The two undead legions, a total of 400 Skeletal Warriors, blocked the narrow path completely. The countenance of the Abyssal Demons and Dragonkind class users changed dramatically.
“Get out of the way!”
The Abyssal Demon at the very front unleashed black flames. These black flames had the knockback effect, similar to Mage’s Fire Ring of Repulsion. Consequently, Skeletal Warriors were knocked back one after another.
The Dragonkind Knight also used its Smash skill, which combined the effects of Charge and Impact skills. It charged forward, knocking skeletons aside.
The two Lich Generals raised their staves simultaneously.
Skill: Nullify!
Brilliant light rose from the skeletons, instantly removing all abnormal statuses. Additionally, for a certain period, they became immune to abnormal statuses.
With a loud bang, the Dragonkind Knight crashed into what felt like an unyielding steel plate, interrupting its Smash skill and knocking it back.
Even the Abyssal Demon’s flames could no longer knock back the Skeletal Warriors.
“What’s going on?”
“It’s over!”
Just as these thoughts sprang up in the minds of the Abyssal Demons and Dragonkind class users, the magic spells of 200 Skeletal Mages rained down, targeting not only them, but also the Soul Devour Insects.
As the magic spells rained down, Lin Moyu raised his hand, and a red light enveloped the earth.
Skill: Damage Curse!
Whether Soul Devour Insects, Abyssal Demons, or Dragonkind class users, all had a dark red sword pattern appear on their head.
“It’s a curse!”
“What on earth is this guy’s class? How can he use curses as well?”
“Isn’t he a Summoner? Since when can Summoners use curses?!”
The moment the curse took effect, the magic spells of the Skeletal Mages had already descended.
The Soul Devour Insects, with only 5,000 points in physique, basically couldn’t withstand the attacks from the Skeletal Mages.
[Killed level 40 Soul Devour Insect, EXP +200,000]
The EXP was quite low, about a quarter of what you would expect from level 40 monsters on the Immemorial Battlefield. However, the thing they had going for themselves was their numbers.
With one volley, notifications flooded in, and Lin Moyu’s EXP shot up rapidly.
Soul Devour Insects emitted ear-piercing screeches, and a large number of them were wiped out. But then more Soul Devour Insects quickly filled the gaps.
Boom!
A dozen-plus hills burst open one after another, releasing even more Soul Devour Insects.
“This is really the end!”
“This crazy bastard, does he really think he can stop them with these summons?”
“How naive! That won’t work at all!”
The Abyssal Demons and Dragonkind class users thundered.
With countless Soul Devour Insects behind, the undead legions blocking the path ahead, there was nowhere to run. They were trapped.
The look in their eyes turned frenzied, and they ignored the Soul Devour Insects and instead focused their attacks on the Skeletal Warriors.
If they were going to die, they were determined to drag Lin Moyu down with them.
At the same time, massive amounts of Soul Devour Insects rushed over and clashed with the Skeletal Warriors.
Thanks to the Ignore Defense and Ignore Physical Immunity traits, the Soul Devour Insects inflicted significant damage to the skeletons.
After the status buff was applied, the physique of the Skeletal Warriors exceeded 50,000 points. But in front of the Soul Devour Insects, it was still all in vain.
The Lich Generals struck the ground with their staves.
Skill: Legion Heal!
Numerous pale beams of light soared into the sky, and the damage the Skeletal Warriors had taken was instantly erased. The Legion Heal skill was exceptionally powerful.
Under the blades of the Skeletal Warriors, the Soul Devour Insects were slain instantly slain one after another.
Although the Soul Devour Insects appeared as a black, indistinguishable mass, but individually they were only the size of a fist, with just 5,000 points in physique.
Coupled with the ten-fold damage boost provided by the curse, the Skeletal Warriors easily killed the Soul Devour Insects with a swing of the blade.
The Skeletal Mages’ magic spells also annihilated large swathes of the Soul Devour Insects.
The Soul Devour Insects let out piercing screeches that echoed far and wide, and hills burst open one after another, releasing even more Soul Devour Insects.
It looked as if there was no end to the Soul Devour Insects!
The Abyssal Demons and Dragonkind class users had already sustained severe injuries. Having to fend off attacks from both the Skeletal Warriors and the Soul Devour Insects, they won’t last much longer. But their eyes still surged with a frenzied shade.
They watched the Soul Devour Insects surround Lin Moyu from all directions, making escape impossible. Now his death was merely a matter of time.
“You’re doomed!”
“Since you’re standing in our way, you’ll die together with us!”
For once, the Abyssal Demons and Dragonkind class users shared a common enemy in Lin Moyu, their eyes burning with murderous intent.
Lin Moyu, however, didn’t care.
The Bone Armor shone brightly, blocking the Soul Devour Insects’ attacks. The Soul Devour Insects’ traits were indeed quite powerful. Under their gnawing, the Bone Armor’s durability was rapidly decreasing. It wouldn’t hold out for much longer.
At this time, a smile played on Lin Moyu’s lips, and he raised his hand, and white light burst forth with a bang.
Skill: Bone Fangs!
In an instant, a large tract of Soul Devour Insects were eliminated by the Bone Fangs.
Skill: Corpse Explosion!
A booming blare ensued, and Soul Devour Insects fell like wheat to the scythe.
With a single explosion, all the Soul Devour Insects around Lin Moyu were obliterated. Not a single Soul Devour Insect survived within a radius of 120 meters.
“What just happened?”
“How did they all die?”
“Oh my god, how did he do that?”
The Abyssal Demons and Dragonkind class users were stupefied, at their wits’ end. At this time, Lin Moyu looked terrifying and enigmatic.
Subsequently, more explosions erupted, and waves of terrifying attacks surged toward them.
Although the Soul Devour Insects had weak physique and weak health, but with Corpse Explosion’s health increase of 7.5 times, coupled with the Damage Curse’s damage increase of 10 times, the compounded damage was quite considerable.
The Dragonkind class users fared slightly better due to their natural resistance to curses, which significantly weakened the effects of curses.
The Abyssal Demons, on the other hand, were in dire straits. On the one hand, they were subjected to the attacks of the Skeletal Warriors and Skeletal Mages, while simultaneously enduring the relentless explosions triggered by Corpse Explosion.
After just a few moments, the Abyssal Demons were already dead.
While the Dragonkind Knight maintained Mass Protection, the Dragonkind class users hunkered inside the shield, not daring to move.
They had witnessed the Abyssal Demons’ demise firsthand. In their eyes, Lin Moyu was a real devil, who slaughtered the Abyssal Demons as if dogs.
With the Abyssal Demons dead, Lin Moyu now had better raw materials. The Abyssal Demons’ health was far higher than that of the Soul Devour Insects.
Boom!
An Abyssal Demon corpse exploded, instantly smashing the Dragonkind Knight’s Mass Protection skill.
At the same time, the Dragonkind class users inside the shield were subjected to violent impact, coughing up blood, their faces filled with horror. The power of the impact was overwhelming.
Another explosion followed, and terrifying force engulfed them.
Lin Moyu was flooded with EXP notifications, unable to keep track of how many Soul Devour Insects he had killed in this wave. His EXP rose by a whopping 10%.
At the same time, the military badge flashed again, and another star appearing on its surface: five-star lieutenant!
Killing the Abyssal Demons and the Dragonkind class users earned him 14,000 military merit, bumping his total of military merit up to 58,000, just a step away from reaching six-star lieutenant.
Ear-piercing din echoed, as more Soul Devour Insects were flying over.
In Lin Moyu’s eyes, these Soul Devour Insects were just EXP. The more there were of them, the better.
The hills rolled on into the distance, extending for who knows how far. Some hills reached heights of thirty to fifty meters, while others were just a few meters high.
At this time, the hills were bursting one after another, releasing massive amounts of Soul Devour Insects.
This place was the territory of the Soul Devour Insects, and now they had been fully awakened.
As explosions rang one after another, Lin Moyu’s EXP kept rising. His leveling speed was incredibly fast. Watching the EXP rise was immensely satisfying.
In the distance, a massive hill more than 100 meters tall burst open, and a grating, ear-piercing screeching followed.
A gigantic Soul Devour Insects emerged. Vastly different from the fist-sized Soul Devour Insects, this one was five to six meters long, with wings spanning over 10 meters.
Its speed was astonishing. With a flap of its wings, it covered hundreds of meters in an instant.
In response to its cry, the Soul Devour Insects attacking Lin Moyu turned and flew toward it.
