Chapter 429: Even I Think I’m a Bit Perverse
Having familiarized himself with the six auras brought by the Elemental Lich, Lin Moyu set his sights on a distant monster. Lin showed a mischievous smile.
"You’ll do!"
It was a pack of wild wolves.
In Plateau No. 1, the Highland Wolves and Highland Antelopes were the most numerous monsters. Both types of monsters lived in groups, with packs ranging from 4-5 to as many as 10.
The pack of wild wolves Lin Moyu targeted had exactly 8 wolves.
He instantly locked onto the 8 wild wolves and raised his hand.
Skill: Skeletal Prison.
The 8 wild wolves were bound by the Skeletal Prison without any reaction.
Their bodies stiffened, and a fine layer of skeletal chains appeared on their surfaces.
These skeletal chains locked them tightly, with small barbs piercing their skin.
The paralysis effect immediately took hold, rendering the wolves immobile.
Due to the presence of these skeletal chains, their defense was greatly enhanced, reducing the damage they took by 50%.
The level 1 Skeletal Prison lasted only 1 second, but due to the god-level talent of comprehensive amplification, the binding time was increased by 60 times, extending to 60 seconds.
The duration was also influenced by factors such as the monster’s level, number, and attributes.
The actual duration varied depending on the monster, making it difficult to determine precisely.
However, Lin Moyu felt that the effect of a level 1 skill on monsters over level 25-45 would be significantly reduced.
Indeed, after just 3 seconds, the skeletal chains on the wolves disappeared simultaneously.
The wolves broke free from their bindings and charged forward with howls.
But before they could advance two meters, another batch of Skeletal Prisons descended upon them.
After 3 seconds, the Skeletal Prisons disappeared again.
Lin Moyu didn’t give them a chance to charge, casting Skeletal Prison once more.
After several repetitions, Lin Moyu understood the effect of Skeletal Prison.
The more monsters bound simultaneously, the shorter the binding duration.
The higher the monster’s level and attributes, the shorter the binding duration.
For his current level 1 skill, with the talent enhancement, the binding duration was 60 seconds. Binding a single wolf lasted about 20 seconds.
If he bound 8 wolves simultaneously, the duration was less than 3 seconds.
Additionally, the Skeletal Prison skill consumed a significant amount of mental energy.
Each additional bound monster exponentially increased the mental energy consumption.
Binding a single wolf with a level 1 skill required about 100 points of mental energy.
Binding 8 wolves simultaneously consumed 800 points of mental energy.
As the skill level increased, the consumption would further increase.
Such a massive consumption would be overwhelming for other magic-based professions.
At level 50, they would have at most 40,000 points of mental energy.
Binding multiple targets simultaneously a few times would deplete their mental energy.
Moreover, binding multiple targets simultaneously would greatly shorten the binding duration, reducing its practicality. But for Lin Moyu...
Lin Moyu fully understood the key to this skill.
The biggest challenge in training Skeletal Prison was the excessive mental energy consumption.
But he didn’t care about mental energy consumption, so the biggest challenge didn’t exist for him.
Now at level 50, he had 30 undead armies, each with 900 skeletons.
A total of 27,000 skeletons shared his mental energy consumption.
If he could deplete such a vast amount of mental energy, it would be a miracle.
Lin Moyu began to cast the skill recklessly.
The wolves he used for experimentation were utterly miserable.
The skeletal chains on them were constantly refreshed, keeping them perpetually paralyzed.
Their bodies stiffened, unable to move, not even making a sound.
Eventually, Lin Moyu even played with alternating attacks.
He could cast the skill 4-5 times per second.
The skill level increased rapidly, much faster than when he trained Summon Elemental Lich.
Lin Moyu’s relentless training paid off, and in less than two days, he raised Skeletal Prison to level 50.
[Skeletal Prison (Level 50): Binds a target or multiple enemies, causing paralysis. Bound enemies cannot move or retaliate, and take 50% reduced damage. Binding duration is 50 seconds (varies based on enemy level, attributes, and number of enemies bound).]
At level 50, Skeletal Prison had a binding duration of 50 seconds and consumed a staggering 5,000 points of mental energy.
This was just the consumption for binding a single monster.
If Lin Moyu bound 8 monsters simultaneously, a level 50 magic-based profession would likely deplete their entire mental energy with one skill.
Only Lin Moyu could afford such consumption.
After reaching level 50, Lin Moyu had only one skill left to train: Lightning Undead Wings.
With a 9-minute cooldown, even if he used it every time, it would take several days to level up, making the process slow.
However, Lin Moyu didn’t mind.
Due to the talent of comprehensive amplification, the level 2 Lightning Undead Wings already allowed 20 minutes of flight time, with a cooldown of only 9 minutes, enabling long-duration aerial combat for him and his undead army.
With his skills fully trained, Lin Moyu finally relaxed.
He checked his level 50 attributes and smiled.
His attributes were now so high that they would frighten others. If other professionals knew, they would call him a monster.

His total attributes had reached a staggering 430,000.
This was far higher than any world boss of the same level.
According to Lin Moyu’s knowledge, a level 50 mid-tier legendary profession had total attributes between 120,000 to 130,000. Even with extraordinary encounters, it was rare to exceed 150,000.
Lin Moyu’s attributes were 430,000, nearly three times that of others.
With such attributes, his strength surpassed warriors, his agility surpassed assassins, and his constitution surpassed knights.
As for his mental attribute, it was several times higher than other magic-based professions.
Combined with numerous damage immunity traits, elemental and physical resistance passive skills, status immunity, damage transfer, and a plethora of active attack skills, along with a massive and powerful undead army, Lin Moyu had it all.
Corpse Explosion had also reached level 7.
With attack, control, and curse skills, he had everything.
At this moment, even Lin Moyu felt he was a bit perverse.
In the history of the human race, no one had reached his level.
Otherwise, he wouldn’t have been able to kill the level 90 Flame Demon King before reaching level 50 and become a two-star general.
After checking the attributes of his skeletons, Lin Moyu clapped his hands, "Time to go to the Ancient Battlefield."
PS: I’ve consolidated the protagonist’s level 50 attributes and skills, as well as the undead army’s attributes and skills, in the related works section.
If you’re interested, you can take a look.
I won’t write them in the main text to avoid accusations of padding the word count.
Because the word count is indeed quite high, several thousand words.
