Chapter 205: Hurry Up, Even Faster, I’m in a Rush
As the skeleton warriors stepped out of the cave, they were immediately spotted by the flaming giant eye.
The flaming eye continued to sound alarms.
The dungeon shook, lava shot into the sky and fell as fiery rain.
The skeleton warriors ignored the lava rain, continuing to run forward.
They charged into the palace area, attracted two Fire God Palace Guards, then immediately turned back without engaging them directly.
After circling around again, the skeleton warriors ran back towards the caves.
By now a horde of monsters was following behind them.
Fire Elementals... Fire Winged Serpents... Fire Lizards...
All kinds of monsters were present.
The two Fire God Palace Guards could only be squeezed at the back of the pack.
Lin Moyu also stepped out of the cave at this time, watching the skeletons running towards him. The corners of his mouth turned up in a familiar smile.
Time for another big explosion!
Skeleton warriors appeared one by one, a total of 10.
These weren’t released from the summoning space, but newly summoned by Lin Moyu.
His experience was now at 98%.
This explosion would definitely level him up.
Once he leveled up, his spirit power would be fully restored. How could he waste that?
Lin Moyu had calculated earlier that summoning the skeleton warriors to full capacity would leave him with over 400 spirit power.
Enough for many explosions to complete leveling up.
The 10 new skeleton warriors joined up with the 4 returning skeleton warriors.
All 14 skeleton warriors targeted a Fire Lizard at the front of the monster army, activating their skills simultaneously.
Lin Moyu wasn’t idle either, releasing two skills with both hands.
Skill: Slow Curse!
Skill: Soul Flame!
With a hum, a red net covered the area, slowing all the monsters.
At this moment, the skeleton warriors’ attacks and Soul Flame hit together.
Focused fire!
That Fire Lizard at the front didn’t even have time to scream before being instantly killed.
Success!
Then light flashed in Lin Moyu’s palm.
Skill: Corpse Explosion!
Boom!
The violent explosion drowned out the sound of lava eruptions.
Strong air currents dispersed the falling fire rain.
Large numbers of monsters were instantly killed by the blast.
Once the explosions started, they didn’t stop.
One after another, booming non-stop.
The entire dungeon shook more violently, monsters dying in swathes.
White light flashed on Lin Moyu’s body. He had leveled up.
His face showed a hint of joy.
He had been stuck at level 27 for quite a while. Finally leveled up.
"If not for the Career Holder Tournament, I should be level 30 by now."
"Still a bit slow."
Lin Moyu muttered to himself.
If other career holders heard this, they would definitely cough up blood.
Students who entered with him were still struggling to reach level 20.
Lin Moyu was already level 28, and still thought he was slow.
And during the process of reaching level 28, he had spent most of the time with a girl.
Comparing people could really infuriate others.
Lin Moyu checked his attributes.
His summoning space increased to 280, gaining 10 more slots.
He could summon 10 more skeletons.
His four main skills - Summon Skeleton Warrior, Summon Skeleton Mage, Slow Curse, and Soul Flame - all upgraded to level 28.
These four skills leveled up in sync with his level.
The skeleton warriors’ and mages’ attributes also increased accordingly.
Level 28 skeleton warriors now had 24,000 in all four attributes.
Skeleton mages’ spirit power reached 48,000.
They became even stronger.
What made Lin Moyu happiest was that his Corpse Explosion skill finally upgraded again, reaching level 4.
After talent amplification, the skill’s damage range reached 120 meters, with power increased to 750% of the corpse’s life force.
The skill was greatly enhanced.
Upgrading Corpse Explosion was very difficult.
Besides hard-to-upgrade passive skills, it was the hardest.
After so long, it had only reached level 4.
Bone Armor also improved somewhat, equivalent to 84,000 constitution defense, giving Lin Moyu ample confidence even when facing Hell difficulty bosses.
He didn’t even need a healer in dungeons like [Fire God Palace].
In the blink of an eye, all the monsters before him were dead.
The ground was covered in corpses.
The flaming eye at the bottom of the palace seemed to tremble, its gaze carrying a hint of fear.
At this point, Lin Moyu did something he had never done before.
He summoned another 100 skeleton warriors.
Each skeleton warrior dragged two corpses.
The skeleton warriors quickly dragged the corpses into the Fire God Palace.
The flaming eye kept sounding alarms, large numbers of guards rushing out of the palace.
The skeleton warriors didn’t engage them at all, directly throwing the corpses at them.
Lin Moyu followed behind, activating his skill to detonate them in mid-air.
The level 4 Corpse Explosion skill had wider range and greater power.
After several huge explosions, the palace fell completely silent.
Only a few dozen palace guard corpses remained.
The skeleton warriors immediately exchanged some of their corpses for palace guard corpses.
Their level was higher, with stronger life force.
Using them for Corpse Explosion would be even more powerful.
Carrying large numbers of corpses, they charged out of the palace into the garden.
The Fire God Flower was no longer in the garden.
Lin Moyu realized this item might be like boss drop materials, only dropping once within a certain time period.
Once he obtained it, others couldn’t get it again.
The skeleton warriors carried the corpses to the edge of the lava.
A giant hand reached out from the lava.
Before it could strike down, two consecutive explosions blasted it back.
Then lava surged into the sky, and the Fire God Palace Gardener, the Hell-level boss monster, appeared before them.
But it was still merging, still absorbing lava energy.
"Too slow!"
"Can’t wait, I’m in a hurry!"
Lin Moyu didn’t want to wait for it.
The corpses’ life force was rapidly weakening.
Every second of delay reduced the power.
The skeleton warriors threw dozens of corpses at once.
None were palace guard corpses, all from the previous monsters.
Several minutes had passed. The monster corpses’ life force was less than a third of what it was when freshly killed.
They would disappear soon.
Lin Moyu didn’t hold back, using up most of them at once.
Skill: Corpse Explosion!
The corpses detonated in mid-air.
Explosions rang out non-stop.
This Hell-level boss hadn’t even recovered its senses, hadn’t even had time to roar, before being blasted to near death.
Its roar turned into a groan.
Near death wasn’t enough. Another batch of monster corpses was thrown over.
With another round of explosions, the Fire God Palace Gardener was directly killed.
[Killed Fire God Palace Gardener, experience +2,160,000]
[Obtained Flame Sword]
[Flame Sword: Gold-grade weapon, all attributes +400, knight class skills amplified by 40%]
It was a decent gold-grade weapon, just short of top-tier.
Lin Moyu only glanced at it before continuing to run deeper into the dungeon.
He really was in a hurry!
