Chapter 360: The Fall of the God, Empathetic Loneliness
Book Chapter 360: The Fall of the God, Empathetic Loneliness
The warriors, mages, and archers cooperated seamlessly. Lin Moyu’s continuous attacks completely stunned the Lightning Ape. Once the undead army made a move, it was unstoppable. The three corps cooperated seamlessly. The skeletal berserkers were responsible for strong attacks and containment. The mages and archers provided stationary output from the rear. With their seamless cooperation, their combat power increased significantly. Lin Moyu watched with satisfaction. However, this was only against a single enemy. If they encountered a group of enemies, the full potential of the three corps would be unleashed. For group enemies, his corpse explosion was the ultimate weapon. After the Lightning Ape landed, it never escaped again. Continuous attacks completely crushed it. The Lightning Ape wanted to return to the swamp, but the skeletal berserkers clung to its legs with all their might, preventing it from escaping. With a cry of unwillingness, the Lightning Ape fell to the ground.

[Lightning Crystal Fragment: Five fragments can be combined into a complete Lightning Crystal.]
Lin Moyu knew that with his current combat power, challenging a level 45 hell-level dungeon was no difficulty at all. The limitation was not the dungeon’s difficulty but its level. Without the level restriction, he might directly choose to tackle level 50 or even level 60 dungeons. The higher the dungeon level, the more experience gained, and naturally, the better the equipment dropped. Lin Moyu didn’t care about the equipment dropped in the dungeon; he cared about the experience. Now he wanted to level up, as leveling up brought him immense benefits. Each level up significantly increased the strength of the undead army, more effective than any equipment.
After crossing the Thunder Swamp, the road became smooth. There were no monsters or intersecting lightning, and everything became very quiet. It even gave Lin Moyu the illusion that he had entered another dungeon. After walking for more than ten kilometers, a flash of lightning appeared before his eyes. A thin lightning bolt connected the sky and the earth. In the sky were dark thunderclouds, and on the ground was a hundred-meter giant sword. The giant sword was wrapped in electric light, inserted into the ground with its tip pointing to the sky, connected to the lightning. The moment he saw it, Lin Moyu felt a tingling sensation all over his body. A lightning bolt shot from the tip of the sword, hitting Lin Moyu. The skeletal armor instantly burst into brilliant light, emitting dense blocking sounds. The skeletal armor, which had never been damaged since the second job change, showed signs of damage at this moment. Lin Moyu was somewhat surprised, not because the lightning’s attack power was great, but because the attack frequency was too fast. In one second, there were probably thousands of attacks. The collision sounds alone made his ears buzz. He immediately replenished a layer of skeletal armor. The lightning continued to strike, and within a few seconds, the skeletal armor showed signs of damage again. Lin Moyu pondered, his eyes fixed on the giant sword, continuously replenishing the skeletal armor as he walked forward. As he advanced, Lin Moyu tried to adjust his direction, and the lightning also changed accordingly. It locked onto Lin Moyu firmly. No matter how fast Lin Moyu was, he couldn’t outrun the lightning. He could only endure it, unable to dodge. He replenished the skeletal armor every few seconds. Since his mental power was inexhaustible, it didn’t matter much.
"This speed... is really fast!"
"Fortunately, the attack power is not very strong, otherwise, it would be quite troublesome."
Lin Moyu quickened his pace, getting closer and closer to the giant sword! Lin Moyu’s act of speeding up seemed to provoke the giant sword. It trembled violently, and the lightning suddenly intensified. The electric light falling on Lin Moyu’s body instantly became much thicker. The collision sounds became more intense. The skeletal armor’s damage rate also increased. "It has become stronger." Previously, he replenished the armor every 5 seconds, but now it was every 3 seconds. For Lin Moyu, the difference was not significant. An attack that couldn’t even break the skeletal armor was of no use. Lin Moyu continued to walk forward steadily. Unknowingly, he had reached the giant sword. He only needed to reach out to touch the giant sword. The giant sword was surrounded by dense electric light, with lightning flowing like a waterfall on its body. On the ground, which looked like it had been cut by a knife and axe, only the giant sword stood alone. Lin Moyu looked at the sword and felt a sense of loneliness. "You are very lonely," Lin Moyu said softly. His white palm passed through the waterfall-like electric current and touched the sword. At that moment, all the electric light disappeared. No more lightning attacked Lin Moyu, and the ground became silent. At this moment, only Lin Moyu’s breathing could be heard. A few seconds later, a thunderclap sounded in the sky. Lin Moyu saw a majestic giant, a giant made of lightning. The giant wielded a long sword, launching terrifying attacks one after another. Under its attacks, giant beasts were turned to ashes. Lin Moyu could feel the terror of the attacks, at least at the god level. "This is... the God of Thunder!" "And the wild beasts..." Lin Moyu saw clearly and guessed the identity of the giant. This was the history recorded in the giant sword. The God of Thunder had fought against the wild beasts. It seemed to have killed many wild beasts. From this perspective, it seemed stronger than Bai Yiyuan and Yan Kuangsheng. But was it really so? Lin Moyu thought not. Yan Kuangsheng probably hadn’t mastered the method. Otherwise, he could also kill the wild beasts. In the scene outlined by the lightning, a terrifying giant beast appeared. "The King of Wild Beasts!" Lin Moyu recognized it at a glance. The King of Wild Beasts had left a deep impression on him. Bai Yiyuan and Yan Kuangsheng fled at the sight of it, and it injured Meng Anwen with one strike. The strength of the King of Wild Beasts was evident. The King of Wild Beasts pounced on the God of Thunder, and the scene shattered instantly. Lin Moyu felt a chill all over. The God of Thunder was dead... killed by the King of Wild Beasts. The powerful god was killed by the King of Wild Beasts. A sense of desolation was transmitted from the sword. The sword, which belonged to the God of Thunder, seemed to want to express something to him. Lin Moyu said softly, "You are very lonely, I understand." "Perhaps in the future, I will summon your master." As he spoke, the giant sword quickly shrank. In an instant, it was only the size of a palm, quietly falling into Lin Moyu’s hand.
[Thunder God’s Sword: The sword of the God of Thunder, the key to opening the Thunder God’s Palace!]
Finally, he obtained the key. Lin Moyu gently held the Thunder God’s Sword, "Don’t worry, I will keep my word." He could feel the emotion of the Thunder God’s Sword, a sense of loneliness with a hint of sadness. In the year after his grandmother passed away and his sister went to Xia Jing Academy, he had a similar experience. The more lonely he was, the less he wanted to talk. The less he wanted to talk, the more lonely he became. It was like entering a death loop. So Lin Moyu empathized deeply. Roar! A beast’s roar sounded, and electric light exploded in the air. A giant eagle over thirty meters long swooped down from the sky. It was surrounded by lightning, exuding an extraordinary aura.
[Thunder Eagle (Hell-level Boss)]

Lin Moyu put away the Thunder God’s Sword, and the sense of loneliness disappeared. Now he had friends, teachers, and a sister. The sense of loneliness had long gone. He had already broken out of the death loop. With a slight smile, the undead army appeared on the ground. The skeletal mages and archers formed a formation, locking onto the Thunder Eagle. The Thunder Eagle launched an attack simultaneously. It spat out a thunder bead from its mouth, which exploded on the ground, turning a radius of a thousand meters into a sea of thunder. The undead army stood in the sea of thunder, all subjected to lightning attacks. The attack power was not weak, but it was far from enough to destroy the undead army. Lin Moyu’s undead army had never feared such continuous damage. Now, they cared even less. Under the casual healing of the Lich General, the damage was instantly healed. The skeletal mages collectively attacked, and dense elements exploded on the Thunder Eagle. The archers bent their bows and shot arrows, piercing through the air and stabbing into the Thunder Eagle’s body in the next moment. Both attacks were locking types, impossible to dodge once locked. The Thunder Eagle screamed continuously. Its wings trembled violently, and lightning roared. Thousands of lightning bolts fell from the sky, densely hitting the undead army. The ground cracked, and stones flew. The power was great, but it still couldn’t do anything to the skeletons. After the second job change, the skeletons had become much stronger. So far, Lin Moyu hadn’t discovered the upper limit of the skeletons’ combat power. The skeletons’ attacks were fierce, wave after wave, endless. The Thunder Eagle finally couldn’t bear it and fled with a scream. "You can’t escape!" Lin Moyu shouted softly, and the Wings of Lightning spread out.
