Necromancer: I Am A Disaster

Chapter 233: Step Back, Or You'll Get Caught In The Crossfire

What a gigantic monster! Lin Moyu was shocked in his heart.

The exposed part alone was 70 to 80 meters long. If its entire body was revealed, it would probably be nearly 200 meters. This was the largest monster he had seen so far.

Generally speaking, the size of a monster determined its power level. Such a colossal creature was undoubtedly a boss.

Violent winds surged and brought a foul stench, making it difficult to breathe.

The space they were in had been cut off, turning into a sealed off world spanning thousands of meters. That world gradually separated from the Immemorial Battlefield, forming a space akin to a secret realm.

By this time, despair had seeped into the eyes of Ling Yizhan and the others.

"It's really the Earth Evil Centipede."

"We're doomed!"

"Who would have thought we would meet our end by the Earth Evil Centipede's hands."

Staring at the boss some distance away, Ling Yizhan felt a chill go down his spine, "Don't you guys feel like the Abyssal Demons the past two days had been leading us in this direction?"

Now that Ling Yizhan mentioned it, it really did seem to be the case.

Lin Moyu reflected on the events of the past two days. Wave after wave of Abyssal Demons had come to him, each time slightly altering his path until he ended up here. Someone had deliberately guided him, and he hadn't even noticed.

...

High up in the sky, thousands of meters above the Earth Evil Centipede, the Succubus who had barely escaped from Lin Moyu's grasp was holding a black gem. The image of the Succubus Queen was projected on the gem.

The Succubus Queen's alluring and seductive voice sounded, "Alice, did it succeed?"

The Succubus called Alice nodded vigorously, "Great Queen, it was a success. Lin Moyu has entered the territory of the Earth Evil Centipede, and the Earth Evil Centipede has already awakened. He is done for."

The Succubus Queen laughed charmingly, "Well done. He is the top genius of the human race in this generation. If he dies today on the Immemorial Battlefield, then even if he is resurrected, he will never be a genius again."

"Once he dies, the Earth Evil Centipede will relocate. When that happens, go and retrieve the Primordial Rune. Remember not to touch it!"

Alice replied respectfully, "I shall obey, great Queen!"

The image on the black gem disappeared. Alice put away the black gem, then looked in the direction of the Earth Evil Centipede. She could still faintly see Lin Moyu's figure.

She slowly twisted her slender waist, and the tail behind her swayed back and forth rapidly with agitation, a mixture of fear and hatred in her pretty eyes, "You're dead!"

...

The Earth Evil Centipede that just awakened was still roaring.

Ling Yizhan spoke quickly, "The Earth Evil Centipede is a terrifying boss of the Immemorial Battlefield. Ordinarily, it remains in a state of slumber. It only awakens when it needs to eat or when someone approaches it. Once it awakens, it transforms the surrounding area into a secret realm, and all the living beings in the secret realm will become its food."

Lin Moyu nodded, and then used Detection.

[Earth Evil Centipede (world boss)]

[Level: 58]

[Strength: 120,000]

[Agility: 120,000]

[Spirit: 80,000]

[Physique: 120,000]

[Skills: Deadly Toxic Fog, Slice and Dice, Swipe]

[Traits: Poison Elemental Immunity, Physical Damage Reduced by 30%, Elemental Damage Reduced by 30%]

Its overall attributes reached 440,000 points, surpassing those of the level 55 Soul Devour Insect King by 140,000 and those of the level 56 Soul Devour Insect Mother by 40,000 points, far exceeding those of the Skeletal Warriors.

Considering the unique nature of the Soul Devour Insect Mother, it couldn't be used as a reliable point of comparison. As for the Soul Devour Insect King, it paled in comparison with the Earth Evil Centipede.

However, to say that the Earth Evil Centipede couldn't be defeated... Lin Moyu didn't think so. He was totally up for giving it a try.

"What are the benefits of killing it?" Lin Moyu asked in a low voice.

Ling Yizhan was taken aback by Lin Moyu's unexpected question. When he looked into Lin Moyu's eyes, he didn't see panic, but rather eager anticipation.

Ling Yizhan felt that Lin Moyu was a madman, and he found himself swept along in his madness.

He greeted his teeth and said, "The Earth Evil Centipede is a world rank boss, and it will indeed drop some special items, the most useful of which is Poison Gem."

"Oh? What is its use?" Lin Moyu asked, his interest already piqued.

Ling Yizhan uttered, "I'm not exactly sure, but Poison Gem is definitely very useful."

"But the Earth Evil Centipede is too difficult to kill. After all, it is a world rank boss."

World rank bosses were indeed difficult to kill, and Lin Moyu had only defeated a few before. From the Tyrant Desert dungeon's Lionman Tyrant to the Dimensional Battlefield's Battlefield Ghost King, and to the Soul Devour Insect Mother from a couple of days ago, Lin Moyu had dealt with them all.

Although the Earth Evil Centipede in front of him looked formidable, but if they were to fight...

The eyes of Ling Yizhan and the others revealed a hue of despair, but even more were tinged with the determination to fight to the death.

As Shenxians, as students of the Xiajing Academy, and as students of the Chuangshi Institute, they couldn't just lay down their arms and await their end.

Even if they had to die, they would die in battle, tearing a piece of flesh from the Earth Evil Centipede before their inevitable end.

Their fighting spirit was burning fiercely.

Ling Yizhan gripped his Knight sword tightly, "Junior, let's fight the Earth Evil Centipede together."

Lin Moyu shook his head, "You guys should retreat, the farther, the better."

Ling Yizhan was taken aback, wondering what Lin Moyu meant by this.

Screee!

A sharp cry rang out. The Earth Evil Centipede fully awakened. It leaped out of the ground, its insect legs the size of stone pillars propelling it forward.

"Defense!" Ling Yizhan's expression changed drastically, and he quickly took his place in the party.

Lin Moyu pressed his hand down, covering himself in the Bone Armor.

Bang, bang, bang.

There were many insect legs, as many as fifty or sixty pairs, sweeping through as if an autumn wind scattering leaves, incredibly fast.

The Bone Armor issued sharp sounds, its durability rapidly decreasing.

The Earth Evil Centipede's assault was incredibly powerful, its 120,000 points in the strength attribute not to be underestimated. A single attack nearly smashed the Bone Armor.

Lin Moyu quickly recast Bone Armor and looked at Ling Yizhan and the others. They had been attacked alongside him, thrown tens of meters away, and crashed into the ground, cutting a sorry figure.

The Healer strained to his feet and began to treat everyone, his expression a mask of overwhelming shock.

These people were only around level 50; how could they face a level 58 world boss? This was a hopeless situation.

Ling Yizhan got onto his feet with difficulty, seriously injured by the earlier cry.

"Step back, or you'll get caught in the crossfire!" Lin Moyu's faint voice sounded.

Then, before Ling Yizhan and his companions, Lin Moyu raised his hand, and overwhelming red light descended.

Skill: Slow Curse!

The rampaging Earth Evil Centipede suddenly slowed down. To their surprise, Ling Yizhan and his companions also found themselves moving sluggishly.

They weren't Lin Moyu's teammates. And since the Slow Curse skill had a wide range, they were ensnared as well.

"Remove the curse!" Ling Yizhan understood Lin Moyu's intentions.

The Healer promptly dispelled the curse.

By now, the Earth Evil Centipede had fixed its attention on Lin Moyu, the audacious small fry who cursed it. As for Ling Yizhan's group, they were hardly worth notice.

Taking advantage of the distraction, Ling Yizhan and the others seized the opportunity to retreat, getting further and further away.

As they retreated, Ling Yizhan kept a close eye on Lin Moyu, wondering how he would deal with this situation.

All of a sudden, 10 Lich Generals appeared, followed by their undead legions. The Lich Generals raised their staves high, and white light shot into the sky, strengthening the legions. The attributes of all skeletons saw a substantial increase.

"There are so many!"

Ling Yizhan and his group were taken aback. They knew Lin Moyu could summon undead troops; they had witnessed it over the past few days. However, until now, he had only summoned a small force of 300 skeletons.

Seeing so many skeletons, each one extremely strong, Ling Yizhan and his group, who had been in despair, felt their hope being rekindled.

The Skeletal Warriors charged toward the Earth Evil Centipede en masse. Even though it was a world boss, the skeletons showed no fear.

The Skeletal Mages' skills were already raining down on the Earth Evil Centipede. With its Elemental Damage Reduced by 30% trait and sturdy carapace, the damage caused by the attacks of the Skeletal Mages wasn't particularly high.

Affected by the curse, the Earth Evil Centipede's speed had slowed by a staggering 60 times. Struggling to adapt to the current speed, it glared angrily at Lin Moyu, the instigator of its discomfort, and roared in rage.

The Earth Evil Centipede ignored the attacks of the Skeletal Mages and charged straight at Lin Moyu. In its view, the curse was more annoying than the magic attacks.

With its immense strength, it effortlessly knocked aside the Skeletal Warriors that stood in its way. This wasn't the effect of a skill but rather the sheer display of crushing power.

The Earth Evil Centipede swung its numerous giant insect-like legs as if blades, overwhelming the Skeletal Warriors with its immense strength of 120,000 points, pushing them back and inflicting injuries.

The Lich Generals cast Legion Heal to heal the skeletons.

Lin Moyu wasn't idle either. Faced with such a powerful world boss, he naturally couldn't afford to just stand by. A flame burned in his palm.

Skill: Soul Blaze!

The Earth Evil Centipede let out a piercing screech, writhing with unprecedented pain, and its eyes filled with intensified hatred as it rammed into Lin Moyu with colossal force.
