Necromancer: I Am A Disaster

Chapter 298: Witnessing The Birth Of A Freak

Lin Moyu’s Bone Armor shimmered brightly. At the same time, his Skeletal Mages unleashed their assault. Magic spells rained down upon the Dragonkind Knights, colliding midair and exploding with deafening force. For a moment, the battlefield transformed into a breathtaking display, like a cascade of fireworks blooming in radiant brilliance.

“So beautiful!” Lin Moyu muttered, eyes fixed on the dazzling rain of arrows and meteors streaking across the sky. It was a rare, mesmerizing spectacle.

Yet, for everyone else, this beauty spelled certain death. No one believed Lin Moyu or his skeletal army could survive. After all, despite the sheer size of the skeletal army, the skeletons were only level 35.

Some onlookers had already closed their eyes, convinced Lin Moyu was about to meet his end.

The barrage of arrows exploded, and meteors crashed down, engulfing the skeletal army in a sea of destruction.

“This is the price of arrogance.”

“Lin Moyu is finished.”

“Without Healers, no matter how many troops he has, they’re all going to die.”

Suddenly, through the chaos of explosions, figures emerged. A massive wave of skeletons charged forward, clashing head-on with the Dragonkind Knights. The battlefield trembled with the force of their impact.

But the Skeletal Warriors didn’t budge. After being buffed, their strength soared to 78,000 points, equaling that of the Dragonkind Knights. The Skeletal Warriors unleashed their skill, slashing fiercely at their foes while white healing light continuously enveloped them.

Then, Lin Moyu appeared in everyone’s view, his Bone Armor gleaming, without a single scratch.

To Lin Moyu, only an attack strong enough to shatter his Bone Armor could harm him—and the same held true for his skeletons. With the new Summon Health Link title, damage was shared, and healing was equally distributed.

The Lich Generals had essentially taken on the role of Legion Overlords, with their healing spell affecting all the summons, including themselves. With 15 Lich Generals healing continuously, bringing them down was no easy task.

The Skeletal Warriors, protected by constant healing, surged forward, while the Skeletal Mages bombarded the Dragonkind from within the explosions.

“He survived!”

“This is unreal!”

“How is he this strong?”

“Is he really just level 35? He fights like he’s level 75 or higher!”

No one could believe what was unfolding before their eyes. The battle had taken an unexpected and almost surreal turn. Those who were supposed to be fighting now stood as mere bystanders, watching the chaos unfold.

The Skeletal Warriors collided violently with the Dragonkind Knights. The Dragonkind, with their high-level Healers, were quickly recovering from injuries, supported by powerful healing spells. Despite the Skeletal Warriors unleashing their skill, they couldn’t land a killing blow on the Dragonkind Knights in a single strike. With 800 teams and over 2,400 Dragonkind Knights, they were not as numerous as the Skeletal Warriors but were certainly formidable.

The Dragonkind Knights fought with precise coordination, their organized tactics making them just as powerful as the Skeletal Warriors, especially with the support of Archers and Mages firing from the rear. Lin Moyu realized that without his newly acquired talent, Summon Health Link, his undead legions would be hopelessly outmatched. The Dragonkind were recovering too fast, and without a way to pin them down, the skeletons couldn’t land a fatal blow. However, thanks to the continuous healing from the Lich Generals, the Dragonkind also couldn't kill the Skeletal Warriors.

The battlefield echoed with the sounds of clashing weapons. The Dragonkind Knights would occasionally shout commands, their voices cutting through the chaos. In contrast, the Skeletal Warriors fought in eerie silence. Arrows whistled through the air, and magic spells exploded all around, leaving both sides in a deadlock.

Lin Moyu frowned, aware he couldn’t defeat the enemy with just this. In the end, it came down to his level being too low.

"If only I could create a corpse." He thought, "Then I’d have a solution..." Realizing his limitations, he knew he needed a different approach.

Suddenly, Lin Moyu withdrew from the legion, drawing everyone's attention.

"Why did he leave the legion?" Ni Jun asked, his voice heavy with suspicion, "What’s he planning?"

Zhang Qian's eyes narrowed in thought before he quickly pieced it together, "How much military merit do these Dragonkind represent in total?"

"About 20 million." Ni Jun responded immediately, before his eyes widened in shock, "Wait... are you saying Lin Moyu intends to kill them all?"

Zhang Qian chuckled knowingly, "What else? Can you think of another reason?"

Ni Jun shivered at the thought, "Holy crap. If he pulls this off, he’ll become a godly general."

In the Shenxia Empire, accumulating 100,000 military merit made one a colonel, with a star earned for every additional 1 million military merit. 10 million military merit promoted someone to the rank of godly general, with a star earned for every additional 100 million military merit. If Lin Moyu could annihilate this entire army of Dragonkind, he would gain nearly 20 million military merit—enough to ascend to the rank of godly general. Even without a star, a godly general held a position of immense prestige. Across the entire Shenxia Empire, and even among the human race as a whole, godly generals were exceedingly rare.

"A level 35 godly general?" Ni Jun muttered, disbelief coloring his voice, "That sounds more like a fairy tale."

Zhang Qian shook his head, "He'll probably hit level 36 or 37. These Dragonkind don’t just provide military merit, but a massive amount of EXP, as well as contribution points from Xiajing Academy."

Ni Jun’s eyes widened as he recalled that Lin Moyu was still a first-year student at Xiajing Academy. For a moment, the absurdity of it all left him unsure whether to laugh or cry. The situation felt surreal, as if they were witnessing history in the making.

Lin Moyu had withdrawn from the legion with a clear purpose. He wasn’t going to foolishly split the military merit and EXP with the others. Even if he were given a larger share, it wouldn’t be enough to satisfy him. So, he chose to leave the legion and claim everything for himself.

"If I become a godly general. I bet I’ll make my teacher jump in shock when I return." Lin Moyu mused with a smirk, and a bright glow appeared on the rune etched into the back of his hand.

Skill: Enhance Troops!

A brilliant light exploded across the battlefield, enveloping the undead legions. In an instant, a wave of power surged through the skeletal army, dramatically increasing their attack power.

“What’s happening?”

“Why have the skeletons suddenly become so strong?”

“I can’t hold on! Healers, hurry!”

“What kind of skill is this?”

“I know! It’s a Primordial Rune skill! He used the power of a Primordial Rune!”

The sudden increase in power of the undead legions caught the Dragonkind Knights off guard. Many were severely injured, barely managing to activate their Extreme Defense. Without it, they would have been annihilated in an instant.

Lin Moyu wasted no time. He commanded the Skeletal Warriors to bypass the Knights and charge straight at the Archers and Mages positioned behind them. Empowered by the Enhance Troops skill, the Skeletal Warriors' strength and agility far surpassed that of the Dragonkind Knights, rendering them unstoppable.

The Dragonkind Knights struggled in vain to halt their advance, but they were no match for the enhanced undead. The fate of the Archers and Mages became clear: they were about to be overwhelmed by the ferocious assault.

Seeing the dire situation, the leading Dragonkind Knight bellowed, “Forget the skeletons! Kill Lin Moyu!”

"Yes, kill him! If he dies, the skeletons will fall!"

The realization dawned on them—Lin Moyu was the true target. If they could eliminate him, his undead army would collapse.

But Lin Moyu only chuckled, his eyes gleaming with confidence. "You can’t kill me."

The tall and imposing Lich Generals formed a protective circle around Lin Moyu, who in turn were surrounded by over a thousand Skeletal Mages. The Dragonkind Knights, no matter how hard they tried, couldn’t get through to him. A sense of despair began to spread through the Dragonkind ranks.

Then, a scream echoed across the battlefield. The first Dragonkind Archer fell under the relentless assault of the Skeletal Warriors.

“It’s over!”

With the first body down, the tide of battle shifted decisively. Lin Moyu’s eyes gleamed.

Skill: Corpse Explosion!

A deafening blast rocked the battlefield. Within a 200-meter radius, the explosion dealt 1,200% of the fallen Archer’s health as damage, instantly killing every Dragonkind within the blast zone.

Then came another explosion. And another. The blasts rippled across the battlefield like an unstoppable wave, showing no signs of slowing.

Lin Moyu continued to unleash his Corpse Explosion skill. He understood how difficult it was to grind this skill—and with nearly 10,000 bodies at his disposal, he wasn’t about to waste such a rare opportunity. As his spirit force dwindled, he casually took a few bites of the Earth Evil Centipede’s flesh to restore it, setting off more explosions in rapid succession.

The results were astounding. His EXP, military merit, and contribution points soared. Before long, a bright white light enveloped Lin Moyu—he had leveled up. At the same time, his military badge gleamed with golden light as stars began to appear on it, one after another.

Ni Jun watched in stunned silence, “I never imagined a colonel could gain stars this fast.”

Zhang Qian glanced at his own badge with a wry smile, “I’ve spent years grinding to reach one-star colonel rank. And here he’s gaining a star every second... You really shouldn’t compare yourself to others. Maybe I should cozy up to him and ask if he’ll take me along next time.”

Ni Jun rolled his eyes, “You shameless old fool, have you no dignity?”

Zhang Qian laughed heartily, “What’s the use of dignity? Becoming a godly general has always been my dream.”

“You and everyone else.” Ni Jun replied with a sigh.

Inside the fortress, the onlookers were speechless, paralyzed by shock. It felt as though they were witnessing the birth of a freak.
