Necromancer: I Am A Disaster

Sword energy filled the air like a thick marsh, making it hard to move.

This skill was an area-of-effect attack with a control effect. Dense sword energy pelted Lin Moyu’s Bone Armor, each strike producing a steady clanking sound. Lin Moyu faced a barrage of over a dozen strands of sword energy per second. Fortunately, the attack’s strength was relatively weak, posing little threat to the Bone Armor.

Sword Energy Marsh had no effect on Lin Moyu. Both Bone Armor and Status Immunity rendered the control effect useless against him.

Unhindered, he unleashed Soul Blaze again. A tortured scream echoed in response.

The Divine Swordsman’s aura plummeted sharply. His last star ring burst with a thunderous crack as his sword slashed down at Lin Moyu.

Lin Moyu sensed he was locked on. Blazing sword energy surged toward him from above, engulfing him entirely. The ground beneath his feet split open, leaving a massive fissure.

Skill: Earthsplitter!

A faint smile crept onto the Divine Swordsman's face—this was his ultimate attack. He was certain that no one of his level could withstand it. Even if Lin Moyu survived, he should be severely injured.

As he observed the cascading sword energy, he glimpsed a faint flicker of flame through the haze. His confident expression shifted in an instant, and then froze completely as his body went limp and collapsed.

The third flame had pierced his brow, ending his life. With the fall of the Divine Swordsman, the raging sword energy dissipated, along with his body and sword.

"Looks like I passed the first stage." Lin Moyu mused, stepping forward toward the village. He had to admit, the Divine Swordsman’s final skill was formidable—on par with the attacks of the Crimson Moon Demon.

For a level 40 Divine Swordsman to release an attack comparable to that of a level 55 lord rank Demon, it spoke volumes about how powerful the class was.

A suspicion began to form in Lin Moyu's mind, one that hinted at the purpose behind Righteous God's actions. This secret realm was Righteous God's creation, and he was its master; naturally, everything here fell under his command.

As Lin Moyu pondered, another figure appeared in his line of sight. It was the same man—same appearance, attire, and sword. Everything, from stance to aura, was identical, except for one detail: this figure had an extra pair of star rings on his wrists, bringing the total to six.

The Swordsman pointed his sword at Lin Moyu, mirroring the previous posture, "Level 49, Sacred Light Swordsman. If you wish to pass, kill me—or be killed by me and remain here forever."

Even his words were the same.

Sacred Light Swordsman was an advanced form of Divine Swordsman, achieved through the second class awakening. This transformation elevated attributes, enhanced skills, and added more star rings.

For every 10 levels, a Divine Swordsman gained one star ring; a Sacred Light Swordsman gained two. These star rings signified skills, essential for casting powerful abilities beyond basic sword energy strikes. They could break curses, heal, and grant status buffs.

With the introduction complete, the Sacred Light Swordsman launched himself at Lin Moyu, moving faster than the Divine Swordsman. In a flash, he was upon him, unleashing a chaotic torrent of sword energy.

Lin Moyu raised his hand and began with Deterioration Curse. In response, the Sacred Light Swordsman shattered a star ring, unleashing crisscrossing sword energy that sliced through the curse, granting temporary immunity to curses. The sword energy struck Lin Moyu’s Bone Armor, making it glow under the increased pressure of the attack.

Sticking to his strategy of one-on-one combat, Lin Moyu relied on Soul Blaze—his most powerful combat skill. Its automatic targeting meant he didn’t even need to aim—once he locked onto the enemy, he could strike true, even with his eyes closed. But just as he cast it, the skill abruptly lost its lock.

A star ring shattered, and almost a hundred identical Sacred Light Swordsmen materialized, encircling Lin Moyu. Each had the same aura, making it impossible to differentiate them. They attacked simultaneously, filling the space with a torrent of sword energy that surged like a tidal wave.

“Avatars?” Lin Moyu murmured, a hint of surprise flickering across his face, “So, the star rings really do have unique abilities—even capable of breaking Soul Blaze’s lock-on. But do you really think you can compete with me in terms of numbers?”

An eerie wind howled as an undead legion emerged around him. A total of 200 Skeletal Marksmen and 200 Skeletal Great Mages unleashed a combined assault, arrows and elemental explosions raining down like lightning.

In an instant, the nearly a hundred avatars were obliterated. A glimmer of shock crossed the Sacred Light Swordsman’s eyes. His star rings began to burst in quick succession.

Skill: Sword Energy Marsh!

Skill: Earthsplitter!

But it was futile. The skeletons were unaffected by Sword Energy Marsh, and a single spell from the Lich General dispelled the negative status. Fierce sword energy fell upon the skeletons, only for them to charge forward, bathed in healing light.

The Skeletal Great Mages and Marksmen struck first, bombarding the Sacred Light Swordsman with unrelenting force. He only managed to cast two skills before being overwhelmed by the fierce counterattack. The level 49 Sacred Light Swordsman fell instantly, without suspense.

Lin Moyu continued without pausing, leaving the undead legion outside. The constant clattering of bones echoed like a discordant melody in the secret realm—comforting in its own way to Lin Moyu.

“There must be more!” He thought, and then another figure appeared before him.

The figure looked the same, and Lin Moyu guessed the lines would be as well. This time there was also an extra pair of star rings on the figure's wrists, bringing the total to four pairs. He was likely level 59.

Lin Moyu remained unfazed. As long as the opponent was below level 70, he had nothing to fear. Even if it was above level 70, he would fight to see who prevailed—he had already slain a level 70 Abyssal Demon and even defeated an avatar of a Demon King.

With a command, the undead legion moved out. From hundreds of meters away, the Skeletal Great Mages and Skeletal Marksmen unleashed a simultaneous onslaught. Amid the dazzling torrent of attacks, Lin Moyu watched as the Sacred Light Swordsman crumpled to the ground, defeated instantly by the barrage.

Clean and efficient, without any theatrics—Lin Moyu’s style.

As he approached the village, the details of the houses came into view, confirming his earlier thoughts: they were constructed from various elements. Smoke drifted up, yet the village was eerily empty.

Another Swordsman stood at the entrance, blocking the path. Lin Moyu noted the five pairs of star rings on his wrists—ten rings in total, suggesting a level 69 opponent.

The undead legion sprang into action immediately. Explosions erupted as the Skeletal Great Mages and Skeletal Marksmen launched another barrage. Their attacks, with locking traits, were impossible to evade.

This time, the Swordsman was ready. As the attacks closed in, three star rings on his wrist burst simultaneously, summoning a thousand identical avatars. The barrage from the Skeletal Great Mages and Skeletal Marksmen managed to destroy only a handful.

As soon as the avatars appeared, they charged toward Lin Moyu. He knew the true body was hidden among them, but with so many copies, it was nearly impossible to pinpoint the real one.

"Attack at will!" Lin Moyu commanded.

Explosions erupted, and arrows rained down like lightning bolts, rapidly wiping out large numbers of avatars. None managed to get close to Lin Moyu.

Suddenly, one of the avatars emitted a formidable sword energy. The sword energy split in two—one shot upward, while the other enveloped the Swordsman in a protective shield. The sword energy that rose to the sky came crashing down like a meteor, its sheer force blasting the skeletons away, including the Lich General.

This wasn’t the result of a knockback effect, but the result of a powerful shockwave.

The level 69 Swordsman was far stronger than the level 59 version, with a significantly heightened attack power. Instead of targeting Lin Moyu directly, he appeared before the Lich General.

A star ring burst, and dark red sword energy surged as the Swordsman stabbed the Lich General, freezing it in place and instantly sealing its skills. Another star ring shattered as he swung his sword.

Skill: Sword Energy Marsh!

Sword Energy Marsh spread over an enormous area, spanning hundreds of meters and engulfing all the skeletons. Lin Moyu was taken aback—he hadn’t expected anyone capable of sealing a Lich General’s abilities.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

With the Lich General sealed, it could no longer remove abnormal statuses from the undead troops. The Swordsman unleashed a relentless barrage on the Lich General, but despite being level 40, the Lich General’s physique was incredibly high—boosted to 350,000 by Legion Enhancement. Its defense was formidable, making it hard to bring it down.

Yet, the Swordsman’s assault on the Lich General continued unabated.

In Lin Moyu’s hand, Soul Blaze flickered, but he still couldn’t lock onto the target; there were still avatars.

With a thought, Lin Moyu summoned two more undead legions. As they appeared, the new Lich Generals cast Nullify, freeing the skeletons and unsealing the Lich General.
