Catastrophic Necromancer TL

Chapter 27: One's Own Greatest Weakness

Lin Moyu fully understood now.

In his skeleton army centered around him, he himself was the biggest weakness.

If a powerful enemy ignored the skeleton warriors and constantly attacked him instead, he would be in danger.

Damage Transfer wasn't omnipotent after all.

Now that he knew his weakness, Lin Moyu naturally thought of ways to compensate for it.

The Goblin King was covered in wounds, blood raining down like droplets.

It stood six to seven meters tall, with skeleton warriors clinging to its shoulders, back, chest, and even head.

The Goblin King's body suddenly glowed brilliantly. It leaped up and then crashed heavily to the ground.

With a thunderous sound, all the skeleton warriors on its body were sent flying.

Even the skeleton warriors on the ground were pushed back.

Skill: Knockback!

Then the Goblin King's eyes glowed, and it opened its huge mouth to spew flames.

The flames scorched the skeleton warriors.

Lin Moyu sensed four of his skeleton warriors rapidly losing life force, on the verge of death.

With a thought, he immediately recalled these four skeleton warriors to his summoning space.

The Goblin King continued breathing fire, preventing the skeleton warriors from approaching.

"I must interrupt his skill," Lin Moyu thought.

A flame appeared in Lin Moyu's palm.

"Soul Fire!"

The flame silently landed on the Goblin King's head.

The Goblin King let out an earth-shattering scream, its flame breath immediately interrupted.

Soul Fire ignored defense, directly causing spirit damage.

Its attack power was determined by skill level and spirit power.

Although Lin Moyu's spirit power was only 400 points and his skill level was only 11, after a 20-fold amplification, Soul Fire's attack power was formidable.

The skeleton warriors quickly surrounded it again, attacking relentlessly.

Lin Moyu continued using Soul Fire on the Goblin King, preventing it from using skills normally.

A minute later, the Goblin King fell to the ground, unwilling to accept defeat.

[Killed Goblin King, Experience +40000]

[Obtained Bronze-rank weapon, Goblin King's Dagger]

[Obtained Bronze-rank armor, Robe of Knowledge]

[Obtained Goblin King's Crystal Core]

As the notifications appeared, Lin Moyu was enveloped in the light of leveling up.

He had finally reached level 12.

Solo clearing a Nightmare-level dungeon in just over an hour had given him more than one level.

The efficiency was very high.

Lin Moyu examined his loot.

[Goblin King's Dagger: Bronze-rank, Strength +10, Agility +10, Assassin skill power increased by 3%, usable after level 12.]

[Robe of Knowledge: Bronze-rank armor, Spirit +10, Constitution +10, reduces mage skill cooldown by 5%, usable after level 12.]

The dagger was useless to Lin Moyu, so he put it away to sell later.

"My career is Necromancer, which should belong to the mage class."

"But my skills are different from other mages' skills, with no cooldown, so this seems useless."

"The +10 to Spirit and Constitution is still okay."

After all, it was only level 12 equipment, so expectations couldn't be too high.

Lin Moyu immediately put on the Robe of Knowledge, increasing his Spirit and Constitution by 10 points each.

Besides the equipment, there was also the Goblin King's Crystal Core.

The Goblin King's Crystal Core was larger and more beautiful than low-level monster cores.

It was bright red like a ruby, and holding it in his palm, he could feel waves of warmth emanating from it.

Clearly, this core was extraordinary.

The core could be exchanged for 100,000 gold coins at the Exchange.

Lin Moyu felt a bit of pleasant surprise.

The core was more valuable than both pieces of equipment.

After leveling up, his spirit power was fully restored.

Lin Moyu immediately summoned 4 more skeleton warriors.

The Summon Skeleton Warrior skill had increased to level 12, requiring 110 spirit power to summon.

Although he now had 510 spirit power, he could still only summon 4 at a time.

The level 12 Bronze Skeleton Warriors all had attributes as high as 3800 points, and their number reached 60.

They could freely roam this dungeon.

In a good mood, Lin Moyu walked towards the dungeon exit.

Lin Moyu suddenly appeared at the dungeon entrance.

His appearance immediately drew everyone's attention.

The key point of interest was the skeleton warrior he brought with him.

The skeleton warrior was too unique.

Its cold, evil aura and terrifying appearance made timid people instinctively look away.

"He's out."

"I didn't expect him to come out alive."

"Could he really have soloed the dungeon?"

"Those who can solo dungeons are rare, this kid looks too young..."

"Wait, look at the robe he's wearing, doesn't it look like the Robe of Knowledge?"

"It really is the Robe of Knowledge."

"Unbelievable, a big shot who can solo dungeons is right before our eyes."

Lin Moyu didn't care about others' discussions.

The dungeon had entered cooldown time, requiring 12 hours before it could be entered again.

After one dungeon run, he was no longer interested in grinding wild monsters.

The experience was too little; killing a dozen monsters outside wasn't even equivalent to killing one inside the dungeon.

And having to search for monsters everywhere was too troublesome.

The 12-hour cooldown time was perfect for meditating to recover spirit power and summarizing what he had gained from this dungeon run.

Lin Moyu quietly walked to the side, found an empty spot, and sat down.

A skeleton warrior faithfully stood beside him, guarding him.

This dungeon run had extraordinary significance for him.

Most importantly, it made him understand his own weakness.

It also clarified the uses of his skills.

Corpse Explosion, if used well, was an unparalleled area attack skill.

Soul Fire could interrupt enemy skills, and its defense-ignoring spirit attack was very powerful, even difficult for a Nightmare-level BOSS to withstand.

Lin Moyu summarized his experiences, reviewing his gains and losses.
