Chapter 274 - Strong Seconds, Huge Gains
Lin Moyu secretly sighed, realizing he was wrong to fight like this. As a Necromancer, he wasn’t a warrior himself, so why should he participate in the battle? Wouldn’t it be nice to watch from afar, letting the skeletons grind it down a bit? One could even find time for a nap. But here he was, in a hurry because he didn’t want to see any more losses to the Skeleton Warriors. Thus, he had no choice but to act as a meat shield.
Seeing that the Skeleton Warriors had already climbed all over the [Ancient Earth Dragon], with hundreds of them covering its body, plus more at its feet and in the corners, Lin Moyu knew it was time to strike. "Come here, activate the Gathering spell, quickly!" he roared.
Mu Jianlian darted in response, a level 59 professional with incredible speed. With a burst of speed, she dodged the dragon’s attacks and returned. As fireworks exploded, Lin Moyu activated his strongest skill, [Strong Soldier].
The runes on his hands erupted with brilliant light, boosting the attributes of each skeleton instantly. The Skeleton Warriors, enhanced by the Witch Demon General, unleashed their Berserk Strike skill, dealing massive damage.
Even with the [Ancient Earth Dragon]’s 80% physical immunity, the damage from the Skeleton Warriors was considerable. The Skeleton Mages, after receiving boosts from [Strong Soldier] and [Legion Strengthening], dealt tremendous damage with their skills.
Lin Moyu knew the [Ancient Earth Dragon] couldn’t withstand their assault. As the dragon turned its attention to Mu Jianlian, Lin Moyu unleashed his Soul Flame, empowered by the Strong Soldier skill, dealing significant damage to the dragon.
The [Ancient Earth Dragon], now in pain, redirected its fury toward Lin Moyu. But before it could unleash its dragon’s breath, thousands of Skeleton Warriors descended upon it, their attacks raining down like beautiful red lights.
The [Ancient Earth Dragon] let out a miserable roar before collapsing softly, its eyes dimming and eventually disappearing.
[Kill Ancient Earth Dragon, experience +5,800,000]
[Acquired Earth Dragon Armor]
[Acquisition of Earth Crystals]
[Acquisition of Earth Gems]
[Acquired Jade Heart of the Earth]
[Gathering of Earth Dragon Armor]
[Earth Crystals obtained by Gathering]
[Earth Gems obtained through Gathering]
"The Heart of the Earth is obtained by collecting Jade.
[Earth Dragon Armor (Warrior Class Exclusive): Platinum Grade Defense, Full Attribute +2000, Damage Reduction 20%. Skill: Total Defense]
[Earth Crystals: Can be used with other single elemental crystals to form Elemental God Stones to enhance the chance of professional sublimation during the third turn. The more elements that are fused, the stronger the effect of the God Stone. It can also be used alone to permanently enhance physical attack resistance, and after using it alone, you can no longer obtain the help of the Elemental God Stone.]
[Earth Gemstone: Permanently reduces physical damage by 50% and has a chance to gain a physical-based skill. If used by a Paladin during the second transfer, it can drastically increase the probability of professional sublimation.]
[Heart of the Earth: A must-have item to transform into an Earth Knight.]
Under a full-blown outburst, the [Ancient Earth Dragon] was directly killed in seconds without any suspense. The [Strong Soldier] skill was simply too strong, and in Lin Moyu’s hands, this skill was utilized to the fullest. With the presence of the Gathering Technique, the harvest was directly tripled. Even a piece of equipment like the Earth Dragon Armor was more than enough. Only the two pieces had different properties, with one having very good skills and the other not. Equipment was only second to earth gems and earth crystals. This was a complete windfall, and Lin Moyu couldn’t help but be pleasantly surprised. It’s really too much money to group a master collector. Especially for a solo brush like his, the benefits of grouping a Master Collector were even more impressive.
Mu Jianlian ran over with a look of excitement on her face, "Amazing, you actually killed the BOSS in seconds." Lin Moyu smiled faintly and took out a piece of skilled Earth Dragon Armor, throwing it to Mu Jianlian. Mu Jianlian took it and was overjoyed, "Is this for me?" Lin Moyu replied, "Compare it to the one you’re using now and see which one is better." Mu Jianlian checked the attributes and changed into the Earth Dragon Armor without saying a word. Obviously, the Earth Dragon armor was better. The brand new Earth Dragon Armor was worn on her body, putting Mu Jianlian’s shapely figure on full display. Although Mu Jianlian was a bit timid, her figure was really good. She had a look of surprise on her face, and she could tell that she really liked this armor she was wearing. As for the other items, Mu Jianlian didn’t even mention them and didn’t care. This girl was as pure as white paper.
Lin Moyu thought for a moment and threw an Earth Jewel to Mu Jianlian, "Activate it, now." Mu Jianlian was slightly stunned to see what the Earth Gemstone could do, "Would it be too much of a waste to give this to me to use?" In her opinion, with such good attributes, Lin Moyu should have used it himself, or at least given it to a knight-like professional. "Don’t talk nonsense, use it quickly, we still have to move forward," Lin Moyu urged.
Mu Jianlian didn’t dare to object and directly activated the Earth Jewel. She was soon enveloped in an earthy yellow glow. Lin Moyu also took the Earth Crystal and fused it with the Elemental God Stone at this time. Soon, he obtained an Elemental God Stone that was a fusion of the three elements of Fire, Poison, and Earth. A three-element Elemental God Stone, which only increased the chance of professional sublimation by 10%, was still not enough.
As for the Earth Gem, Lin Moyu didn’t use it. He wanted to see if the boss would drop more Earth Gems in the next round. If it didn’t, he would leave this Earth Gem to Shi Xingan, drastically increasing the probability of Shi Xing’an’s transformation into an Earth Knight. As for himself, he already had the Physical Resistance passive skill. Physical damage had been reduced by a full four times on him. As long as he didn’t die, he wasn’t in any danger. So the Earth Gem’s usefulness to him was not as great as one might think. As for skills, physical skills were of little use to him as a mage.
The light on Mu Jianlian’s body disappeared, and the fusion ended. From now on, all physical damage would only do half damage to her. "Did you gain any skills?" Lin Moyu asked. Mu Jianlian shouted happily, "I gained a physical skill called Stun." "I finally have a warrior class skill too!" "Thank you, thank you!" Hearing this skill, even Lin Moyu had to be a little envious. If Mu Jianlian’s strength was high enough to exceed her opponent’s physical attributes, it was highly likely that an infinite knockout would form. This skill was probably not very useful in group kills, but if it was one-on-one, it was a divine skill. Mu Jianlian jumped and danced happily, her pretty face reddening from excitement. Lin Moyu said, "It is indeed a good skill."
"Get ready, we’re leaving. Don’t linger outside," Lin Moyu instructed. There were now exactly 4 hours and 40 minutes until the [Earth’s Core] copy closed, totally in time for another brush, even twice or a third time.
