### Chapter 247: Counting the Dead
A corpse is the best weapon. Lin Moyu knew this well.
The chimera’s face turned purple with anger, her small pointed teeth biting down on her lip, almost breaking it. These dragons had come over to add to the chaos, but in the blink of an eye, a joyful look appeared in her eyes again. She licked her lips slowly, "Perhaps these dragons can be wasted as well."
There were at least 50 bodies down there now. In this situation, who could still get close to Lin Moyu? Who would dare? Even a Lord-level demon wouldn’t be able to withstand it. Lin Moyu’s skill was just too perverse.
The dragons were blindsided by the blast, losing half of their number at once. Except for some support and long-range professions, all the melee fighters were blown up. Along with the three leading nobles, they were dead through and through.
Even though these dragons weren’t too experienced, they now knew that they couldn’t get close to Lin Moyu. Look at how far away the other Abyssal Demons are. They lifted off in droves and flew high, away from Lin Moyu.
"Use a long-range attack!" The only remaining Noble Aid roared loudly, and there was a hint of fear in the way he looked at Lin Moyu.
All of a sudden, archers shot rounds of arrows, and mages began casting a variety of large spells. Fireballs, lightning, and wild storms kept falling. Though at a distance, the power was reduced quite a bit, and they couldn’t lock on. Luckily, they were high-level, all over 60. Even at a distance, the skill was still powerful and allowed for wide-range attacks without the need to lock on.
They were all hundreds of meters apart, just like the Abyssal Demons, and attacked Lin Moyu remotely. Lin Moyu’s eyes grew cold, "Bullying me for not knowing how to fly, right? Let them fall."
Lin Moyu gave the order. A golden light snapped out of the Shadowmaster’s weapon, shooting straight up to the sky and then exploding, creating huge golden circles. The circles sliced across a distance of thousands of meters in a flash, enveloping the surrounding area. The Abyssal Demons and dragon monsters that were casting attacks a second ago suddenly lost their ability to fly and fell.
"What’s going on? How did this happen?"
"Why can’t I fly anymore!"
"Banning Air! Someone has used the Banning Air skill!"
The Abyssal Demons and dragons literally fell like rain from hundreds of meters in the air. Lin Moyu’s mind moved, and legions of undead appeared one after another. The Witch General added status to the skeletons at the same time. For a moment, white light washed over the sky.
Jiang Hanshan’s eyelids jumped, looking incredulously at the densely packed undead legion in front of him. "How... so many!"
The skeletons were powerful; he had only just seen it. Plus, this amount... he feared they could kill all the way to the core. Who else could stop them? Suddenly, he thought of the two consecutive sky color changes that had occurred some time ago. With two world bosses killed, he couldn’t help but think, "It can’t be him who did it."
Not only him, but those teammates of Jiang Hanshan also froze one by one. So many skeletons, each with a gloomy forest and killing intent. It was horrible. The skeletons picked up the fresh corpses on the ground and stood at the ready.
The demons and dragons that were falling were terrified when they saw so many skeletons appear below. They had seen with their own eyes that the skeletons had carried the bodies and had run towards them. Phantom Alice was among them and was dropping with the hordes. With the No-Air skill, they had no choice but to watch themselves fall.
Having had the experience last time, this time, Alice was prepared. Being banned from the air was also expected beforehand. That’s when she pulled out a black gemstone. It was similar to the gem that summoned the Phantom King last time and opened the space-time passage. Again, all given by the Phantom King, but with different functions.
The gem was activated, emitting a blinding light that enveloped Alice. Alice, who was falling downward, suddenly stopped and quickly rose into the air. The no-air skill lost its effect on it.
"There are high-level items that cancel out my no-space skills," the Shadowmaster said softly.
Lin Moyu responded, "That’s okay."
Looking at the old familiar demon that had re-ascended into the air, Lin Moyu knew that it must be something given by the Phantom Demon King. It had already escaped from his hands three or four times, and it seemed that he still couldn’t kill it this time.
The skeletons threw a body at the demons and dragons that were falling. Lin Moyu had no qualms about casting a damage curse and detonating the corpse in the air. Many demons and dragons were defenseless and were blown up in the air before they even hit the ground.
The Skeleton Warrior had rushed past, ignoring the Abyssal Fire and rushing below. Just waiting for the demons and dragons to hit the ground, the greatsword in his hand was poised to strike. Lin Moyu followed suit. The moment he stepped into the abyssal fire, the skeletal armor shimmered and blocked the damage.
In the eyes of these Abyssal Demons, at this moment, Lin Moyu was more like a demon. He detonated the body as soon as it got within his skill range. Corpse explosions killed and injured within a range of 160 meters, killing several demons at a time. Before they hit the ground, they were more than half damaged. Upon landing, what awaited them were even more great swords from the skeletons, and covering strikes from the skeleton mages.
Lin Moyu was like a god of killing; a demon died in his hands. The Dragon Clan’s side wasn’t much better. Even though it didn’t have Lin Moyu to personally greet them, the attacks from the Skeleton Warriors and Skeleton Mages were equally devastating for them.
Jiang Hanshan and the others looked on, and one by one, they felt that their determination to fight to the death had been in vain. This was not a battle; it was simply a one-sided massacre. These level 60 High Demons were nothing in front of Lin Moyu, a mere level 30 Human Professional. Killed by hacking and slashing.
"Captain, it seems like we don’t need to do anything."
"These demons are dying out, and the dragons are almost done."
Jiang Hanshan didn’t seem to have heard his team member’s words; at the moment, his attention was completely drawn to his sergeant’s badge. The silver ensign badge was gone, as were the nine stars, and the gold colonel’s badge took its place. He had become a colonel!
Jiang Hanshan’s heart burst with joy, "You see your sergeant’s insignia!" Hearing Jiang Hanshan’s words, everyone looked at their sergeant’s insignia. Everyone’s sergeant’s badge was glowing. Without exception, all had been upgraded.
Although they didn’t go from second lieutenant to colonel like Jiang Hanshan, they all rose in rank. At this moment, the eyes of the crowd looking at Lin Moyu changed. One was friendly as hell. Lin Moyu guessed correctly that these people had all been soldiers at one time. They got out of the military for various reasons, and their military resumes made them value rank more than the average person.
A soldier who doesn’t want to be a godly general is not a good soldier. Becoming a god general is the ultimate dream of every soldier. They would think that originally, Lin Moyu was completely capable of taking care of these demons and dragons by himself, and didn’t need them at all. These military honors were equivalent to something Lin Moyu gave them for nothing. How could the heart not be grateful?
Lin Moyu didn’t think about it so much; he just didn’t want to escalate and didn’t want to hurt them by mistake. That’s why he formed the Legion and divided the experience equally among them. As far as military service goes, Lin Moyu didn’t look at it as much as they did.
Lin Moyu led the undead legions and killed them in the blazing abyssal fire. A short minute was perfectly adequate. Even after a minute, with the Skeleton Warriors pulling with all their might, these demons wouldn’t be able to escape. Skeleton Warriors dealt with them, and the first target was the wings. Now that they’re down, don’t try to fly again.
There were screams and cries. The increase from Abyssal Fire was grossly useless. One-on-one, they might have been more than a match for the Skeleton Warrior. The problem is that now it’s a clusterfuck, and it’s not reasonable at all.
Alice stayed at 500 meters in the air at first. Then she felt unsafe and flew a little higher. Looking at what was happening on the ground, she took a deep breath, "Almost there."
She controlled the gem in her hand, which gave off a blinding light. The projection of the Phantom King once again appeared within the light. The Phantom King wore a petulant smile, "All accurate?"
Alice nodded, "It’s all ready, a total of 228 High Demons over level 60. 160, no, 161 are dead now. 126 Dragons, now 93 dead." Demons, plus dragons, have died over 250.
The Phantom Demon King laughed daintily, "I didn’t expect the Dragon Clan to come along for the ride, just in time, to borrow the power of their bloodline." It stretched out its thin, beautiful fingers and pointed toward the bottom.
The Abyssal Flame instantly burst into motion, covering
the talent in an instant. The earth was burned almost instantly.
"Shit!" Jiang Hanshan roared fiercely and released a group defense skill.
