Chapter 298: Witnessing the Birth of a Monstrosity
Book Chapter 298: Witnessing the Birth of a Monstrosity
Lin Muyu’s skeletal armor flashed brilliantly, and the skeleton mages simultaneously launched attacks.
Countless spells rained down on the dragon knights as well.
Some spells collided in mid-air, exploding magnificently.
For a moment, the scene was extremely dazzling, like the most beautiful fireworks blooming.
"So beautiful!"
Lin Muyu looked up at the rain of arrows and trailing meteors falling from the sky, and couldn’t help but exclaim.
Such a sight is rarely seen.
But to others, this was a scene of death.
No one thought Lin Muyu could withstand it.
His undead legions couldn’t withstand it either.
No matter what, no matter how many undead legions there were, they were only level 35 after all.
Some had already closed their eyes, thinking Lin Muyu was doomed.
Explosions from the arrows and meteors smashing down engulfed the entire undead legion.
"The price of arrogance!"
"Lin Muyu is finished."
"Without healers, no matter how many, it’s just sending them to their deaths."
Amidst the explosions, a figure suddenly appeared.
Then a large number of skeletons charged out, colliding head-on with the dragon knights.
Amidst the thunderous booms, the skeleton warriors did not give an inch.
With enhancements, the skeleton warriors had a staggering 78,000 points in strength, no weaker than the dragon knights.
The skeleton warriors unleashed their skills one after another, furiously slashing at the dragon knights.
White light continuously shone upon them.
Healing spells were being cast endlessly on them.
Then Lin Muyu appeared in everyone’s sight.
His skeletal armor shone brilliantly, completely unscathed.
In Lin Muyu’s eyes, as long as it wasn’t an extremely powerful attack that could instantly shatter his skeletal armor, he would not be harmed.
The skeletons were the same, now with the Summoning Life Link talent, sharing damage and recovery.
The lich generals had become the true masters in healing, each of their healing spells affecting all summons, including themselves.
With fifteen lich generals continuously healing, it was truly difficult to kill them.
The skeleton warriors charged through the attacks, shining under the light of healing spells.
Spells from the skeleton mages also flew out from the explosions, striking the dragons.
"He actually withstood it!"
"Unbelievable."
"How can he be so strong?"
"Is he really only level 35? I think even level 75 wouldn’t be enough."
No one dared to believe what was happening.
It seemed this great battle had changed in flavor.
Those who should have been bathing in blood on the battlefield had suddenly become spectators.
The skeleton warriors and dragon knights clashed fiercely.
The dragons also had healers, and they were high-level with powerful healing spells.
The skeleton warriors unleashed their skills one after another, but couldn’t instantly kill their opponents.
There were 800 teams, over 2,400 dragon knights, though not as many as the skeleton warriors, the difference was not huge.
The dragon knights cooperated with each other in an orderly manner, their overall strength not inferior to the skeleton warriors.
Especially with the archers and mages behind them providing support.
Lin Muyu knew that without the new Summoning Life Link talent, his undead legions would not be able to defeat them.
Healing spells continuously appeared on the dragon knights, healing their wounds rapidly.
Without being able to surround and attack, the skeletons had no way to kill them.
Similarly, with the lich generals present, the opponent couldn’t kill the skeleton warriors either.
On the battlefield, the sounds of clashing echoed.
The dragon warriors would occasionally let out a shout, but the skeleton warriors remained silent.
All that could be heard were the whistling of arrows and the roars of spells.
The two sides were in a stalemate.
Lin Muyu frowned slightly, knowing he couldn’t defeat them like this.
After all, his level was still not high enough.
"If I could create a corpse, that would be great."
"Since that’s the case, then I can only..."
Suddenly, everyone noticed that Lin Muyu had withdrawn from the legion.
Ni Jun said in a deep voice, "Why did he withdraw from the legion? What is he trying to do?"
Zhang Qian’s eyes flickered, and he had already guessed what was going on. "How many military merits would all these dragons add up to?"
Ni Jun didn’t even think about it. "Around 20 million."
Then he suddenly widened his eyes. "You mean Lin Muyu wants to kill all these dragons?"
Zhang Qian laughed. "Otherwise, can you think of any other reason?"
Ni Jun shuddered. "Damn, if he succeeds, he’ll become a god general instantly."
100,000 military merits to become a colonel, and then every 1 million merits adds one star.
20 million military merits would make him a god general.
Although without any stars, a god general is still a god general.
The status is highly revered.
In the entire Shenxia Empire, or even the entire human race, there are only a handful of god generals.
Ni Jun said, "A level 35 god general, that would be unheard of in the future."
Zhang Qian shook his head. "It should be level 36 or even 37. These dragons not only give military merits but also experience, a huge amount of experience. And there are also contribution points from the Xia Jing Academy."
Ni Jun then remembered that Lin Muyu was still a student at the Xia Jing Academy, a new student today.
For a moment, he felt a mix of laughter and tears.
The whole thing just didn’t feel right.
Lin Muyu did withdraw from the legion with that intention.
He wasn’t a fool, to let others share the military merits and experience from killing so many enemies.
Even if he was given a larger share, how much more could it be?
It’s better to withdraw from the legion and take it all for himself.
"If I become a god general, I’ll probably give my teacher a fright when I go back."
Lin Muyu laughed, and the runes on the back of his hand shone brilliantly.
Skill: Mighty Force!
Light like smoke and mist exploded within the undead legion.
In an instant, the entire undead legion underwent a drastic change.
Their aura surged violently, their attack power increasing rapidly.
"What happened?!"
"How did the skeletons suddenly become so powerful?"
"I can’t hold them back, heal me, quickly heal me!"
"What skill did he use? How did they suddenly become so much stronger?"
"I know, it’s a skill from the Primordial Runes, he used a skill from the Primordial Runes!"
The suddenly strengthened undead legion caught the dragons off guard.
A large number of dragon knights were severely injured and instantly activated their ultimate defenses.
Otherwise, they would die in the next second.
With a thought from Lin Muyu, the skeleton warriors bypassed them and charged towards the archers and mages behind.
Under the Mighty Force skill, the skeleton warriors’ attributes increased greatly, their strength and speed far surpassing the dragon knights.
The dragon knights could not stop them at all.
One could already imagine what would happen to the archers and mages facing such skeleton warriors.
The leading dragon knight roared loudly, "Don’t bother with the skeletons, kill Lin Muyu!"
"Yes, kill Lin Muyu!"
They had only just realized that Lin Muyu was the real threat.
As long as they killed Lin Muyu, the skeletons would naturally die.
Lin Muyu laughed. "You can’t kill me."
The burly lich generals surrounded Lin Muyu, with over a thousand skeleton mages outside.
The dragon knights could not break through at all.
A sense of despair was spreading.
Until a scream rang out.
Finally, an archer had died by the blade of a skeleton warrior.
"It’s all over!"
The first corpse had been created, and the rest was inevitable.
Skill: Corpse Explosion!
200-meter area of effect, (1200%) of the corpse’s life force as damage.
With a thunderous boom, the surrounding dragons were instantly killed, without any resistance.
Then, one explosion after another followed, showing no signs of stopping.
Lin Muyu used the dragon corpses to practice his skill.
Only he knew how difficult it was to train the Corpse Explosion skill.
With nearly ten thousand corpses available, how could he miss such a good opportunity?
Running low on spirit, Lin Muyu took out some meat from the Earth Dragon God and ate a few bites.
Recovering while exploding.
Experience, military merits, contribution points, all rapidly increasing.
Soon, a white light shone from Lin Muyu’s body.
He had leveled up.
His military badge shone with golden light, with one star after another appearing on it.
Watching this, Ni Jun sighed, "I never imagined a colonel could gain stars this quickly."
Zhang Qian looked at his own military badge. "It took me years to reach one-star colonel."
"He...gains a star per second..."
"Some people are just luckier than others, it’s infuriating!"
"Maybe I should get acquainted with him and have him bring me along?"
Ni Jun glared at him. "You old man, have some shame, will you?"
Zhang Qian laughed. "What’s the use of shame? Becoming a god general has been my lifelong dream."
"Isn’t that the case for everyone?"
Inside the fortress, everyone was stunned.
One by one, they were speechless with shock.
It was as if they were witnessing the birth of a monstrosity.
