Disastrous Necromancer - Chapter 99
Chapter 99
After the baptism of the two young ants, the 39 people finally stayed put, not daring to act recklessly.
If it were two worker ants instead, their group would likely have been annihilated.
Thinking about it, to sit back and wait for things to be over, doesn’t that sound nice?
After all, since they have paid points, they should sit still and wait comfortably.
“He entered the ant colony a dozen-plus minutes ago. Why hasn’t he killed a single monster yet?”
“Needless to say, he must be drawing the monsters. We’ve seen it before.”
“Indeed. It is much more efficient this way.”
The words just fell, when notifications welled up like crazy, their frequency even higher than before.
EXP suddenly jumped up by a chunk.
“As I said, he was drawing the monsters.”
“Compared to just killing them one by one, this is indeed much faster.”
“He should have arrived at the boss room. I heard that the ant colony’s boss monster is an extremely powerful queen ant.”
“Mhm, I’ve also heard of it. The queen ant is even more powerful than a nightmare rank boss of the same level.”
“The key is that unless you deal enough damage, the queen ant will heal herself again and again.”
“If it’s him, she should not pose a problem.”
Lin Moyu naturally had no idea what they were saying, nor did he know that the queen ant could heal herself continuously.
In front of him, the queen ant only had one chance to use the skill Huddle.
She will die before the skill’s cooldown period is up.
If Lin Moyu’s offensive were stronger, perhaps the queen ant wouldn’t even have the chance to use Huddle in the first place.
Since this is the third time he came here, Lin Moyu is already familiar with the place.
He waltzed in as if an old friend coming over for a visit.
The people outside the ant colony made conjectures regarding how long it will take Lin Moyu to deal with the queen ant.
Someone said half an hour.
Others said 20 minutes.
And yet others said 40 minutes.
After 20 minutes, a series of notifications welled up once again.
And this time the notifications lasted longer.
They looked at the information in shock, “Dang it, that’s so many monsters.”
“No wonder his leveling speed is so fast. That’s a lot of monsters.”
“The EXP we each gain is only one-fortieth of the total amount, yet it’s still this much. If he had gobbled up all this EXP by himself…”
“If he keeps pushing like this, I reckon it will take him less than a month to go from level 20 to level 30.”
“No, it’s more like less than half a month.”
EXP rose continuously and notifications flooded in without stop.
This lasted for over half an hour.
At last, the mobs in the ant colony have been wiped out.
Subsequently, after just one minute, they received a notification that the queen ant had been killed.
It took Lin Moyu About an hour to sweep clean the ant colony.
A large chunk of time was spent due to the queen ant using her skills Huddle and Summon Ants.
If it weren’t for these skills, Lin Moyu would be able to end the battle in five minutes at most.
A few minutes later, a skeleton ran out of the ant colony, showing the others the way.
After going through the ant colony, everyone arrived at the desert territory that belongs to the Lionmen.
The two parts of the desert — separated by the mountain — have completely different atmospheres.
The atmosphere here is full of oppression, and the air here is even hotter.
Soon, a magnificent castle came into view.
“This is the Lionman castle.”
“Lionman Tyrant, king of the Lionmen, world rank boss, is located in the center of the castle.”
“So many Lionman monsters… it’s an army.”
The Skeletal Warriors charged forward and engaged in a fierce battle with the Lionman Warriors.
Boom!
As an explosion sounded, the Lionman Warriors suffered heavy casualties.
Lin Moyu’s progress speed is extraordinary, terrifyingly so.
However, this time, they finally saw what his skill is all about.
“I see, it’s a skill to detonate corpses.”
“Exactly. By detonating a corpse, he can kill the monsters nearby.”
“What an amazing skill.”
Lin Moyu doesn’t mind others knowing about his skill.
After all, he has showcased his skill in Battle-Space before.
When the new students coming from all over the empire arrive at the academy the day after tomorrow, information about his skill will spread quickly.
It is impossible to hide it. In the first place, he never intended to hide anything.
If they know, so be it. It doesn’t matter.
The Lionman Warriors outside the city were quickly eliminated. The skeletons once again braved the rain of arrows and launched a fierce attack against the castle’s gate.
Everyone’s eyebrows jumped up at this scene.
“His skeletons can even be used in sieges like this.”
“Why is he attacking the gate directly and not using siege equipment?”
“I think he’s just too lazy for that.”
“Those skeletons are too strong. Not only is their strength terrific, but the same is also true for their defense.”
“His class is too strong.”
Along the way, Lin Moyu shocked them again and again.
At the beginning he instantly killed monsters, then killed groups of monsters, and now smashed the castle’s gate.
Everything was smooth and straightforward.
Two words come to mind: sweeping suppression.
A few minutes later, the gate was destroyed. The Lionmen inside were killed in the blink of an eye.
“Stay back and watch from the outwall.”
“Doing otherwise would be suicidal.”
This time everyone listened and stayed on the outwall obediently, not daring to get close.
From the outwall, they can see the Lionman Tyrant sitting on the throne in the center of the castle.
“I’ll be damned. So this is the Lionman Tyrant.”
“At last. I used to just hear about him, but now I can finally see him in the flesh.”
“As expected of a world rank boss, he looks really awesome.”
“It is said that a party of 40 will take at least a few hours to kill him.”
“I wonder how long it will take Lin Moyu.”
“It shouldn’t… take too long.”
They weren’t quite sure, though they felt that Lin Moyu has been quite relaxed the whole time.
Lin Moyu also stopped a distance away.
The Skeletal Warriors and Skeletal Mages stepped forward and freely engaged in combat.
He just watched quietly, even looking a bit bored.
This scene left everyone speechless. With such attitude, can anyone beat a boss?”
It’s as if he were looking down on the world boss.
At this time, the skeletons have already engaged the Tyrant.
The Tyrant brandished his giant axe repeatedly, sweeping away the Skeletal Warriors.
The Skeletal Warriors ran back one after another and continue their attacks.
The Skeletal Mages stood a distance away like batteries, raining down magic attacks on the Tyrant.
“The Tyrant doesn’t seem to be all that. I feel like I can take it down with ease.”
“If you are tired of living, be my guest. With your abilities, it will be over in one go. I’m afraid you won’t even get the chance to leave the dungeon.”
“Forget it, I was just joking.”
Everyone knows how powerful the Tyrant is. With their equipment, if they go up, only death will await them.
It’s better to watch from afar.
After just 15 minutes, the Tyrant collapsed again in front of Lin Moyu.
At the moment of the Tyrant’s death, the communicator of the 39 people, who were carried through the dungeon, received a message — mission completed.
They all cheered with joy.
“Thank you, Boss Lin.”
“Thank you, boss. The mission has finally been completed.”
“Thank you. Boss, you’re amazing, you’re really amazing.”
“It’s over at last. I was stuck for two years, two whole years.”
“This mission…”
These people were stuck at the mission for over one year to two years.
Their joy at this moment can’t be understood by others.
It’s an unimaginable happiness.
Some even cried with joy.
Lin Moyu saw their unusual behavior and roughly understood.
The people who can enter Xiajing Academy are all geniuses who stood out in the great examination, are the envy of everyone.
However, after entering Xiajing Academy, they realized that they are just ordinary students.
In the academy, there are students who have received better education and resources from the various institutes ever since they were children. These students are stronger and more amazing than them.
They were no longer hailed as geniuses, and a strong sense of loss took root inside them, making them feel uncomfortable.
Some true geniuses will stand out from among them. They will break away from the category of ordinary students, enter independent institutes, and eventually even join top institutes, becoming true scions.
On the other hand, the rest of the ordinary students will be struggling with missions, thinking about how to graduate.
At this point, life changed and took different paths.
Due to limited resources, what the academy wants is to find the true scions and then pour more resources into them.
After all, it is better to have one top powerhouse than 100 or 1,000 ordinary class users.
After the mission was completed, the 39 people left the dungeon one after another.
As for the equipment that the Tyrant dropped, it’s none of their concern.
They were only interested in completing the mission.
This time, there was no new record. It took nearly seven hours to get through the dungeon.
The group appeared in Dungeon Hall.
The news of their success spread like wildfire.
At this time, there was a long queue in Dungeon Hall, extending from the entrance of Tyrant Desert all the way to the outside of the hall.
When he came out, Lin Moyu was startled by this sight.
How come there are so many people?
There are more than 100 people.
Shu Han has a gentle smile on her face, “You’re out!”
Lin Moyu made a sound of assent and then asked, “Why are there so many people?”
“Those are people who wish to clear the dungeon. After hearing about you from their friends, they rushed over. They’ve been stuck at this mission for a long time.” Shu Han said with a smile.
There are so many people. If he carries them all, he’ll be able to earn more than 100,000 points.
However, that would take a lot of time.
After two consecutive dungeon raids — lasting a dozen-plus hours — he already felt exhausted.
Shu Han saw through Lin Moyu’s thoughts, and a bottle appeared in her hand, “Are you tired? You can use this.”
[Fatigue Potion: can restore stamina and eliminate fatigue; effective for 24 hours; long term use is not recommended]
Shu Han smiled and said, “After taking the Fatigue Potion, you won’t feel tired anymore. However, it’s not recommended to use it for a protracted period of time. It’s okay to take it occasionally.”
There’s actually such a thing, as well. He has never seen such a thing in the trade office.
“This is a potion is extremely hard to come by. It costs 500 points per bottle. Do you want a few bottles?”
Shu Han smiled brilliantly, squinting her big beautiful eyes into a line, as if an expert salesman.
