Necromancer: I Am A Disaster

The Primordial Space lay deep within the lower layer of the Immemorial Battlefield and so was inaccessible for now. Meanwhile, the Divine Selection Secret Realm had already been uprooted.

Lin Moyu’s journey to the Immemorial Battlefield had yielded valuable treasures—Soul Crystal, Soul Gem, Poison Gem, and Fire Gem. The only task remaining was to locate the elusive Demonic Dragon Hall. It could appear anywhere in the upper layer, its location, level, and duration unpredictable.

Lin Moyu recalled the Bagua Compass that Lin Mohan had shown him. If it could pinpoint the location of the Primordial Rune, it might also locate the Demonic Dragon Hall.

”Time to start the search.” Lin Moyu muttered.

As he advanced, he repeatedly cast Poison Star Ring, unwilling to stop honing his skills. The monsters he defeated along the way were subjected to Corpse Explosion, the resulting thunderous blasts drawing closer to the core area. Yet, he remained cautious, always keeping at least half of his spirit force in reserve.

After 15 days of travel, covering more than 10,000 kilometers, the landscape finally began to shift. From afar, the ground shimmered like a rough, unpolished mirror, reflecting a hazy glow.

Upon entering the core area, Lin Moyu discovered that not only the monsters had higher levels, but the scenery was also different. The light from the sky seemed closer, with shooting stars frequently falling, sometimes reaching the ground and other times exploding in the air like stunning fireworks.

The core area was a realm of astonishing danger. The monsters were not only more numerous but also far more formidable. Those adventuring here had to be extremely careful—one misstep could lead to total annihilation.

Just 30 seconds after stepping into the core area, a sharp cry pierced the sky. A massive eagle-like monster hurtled toward Lin Moyu at lightning speed, its enormous beak colliding with his Bone Armor. The impact was immense, nearly as powerful as attacks from the Crimson Moon Demon.

The giant eagle, its attack thwarted, soared back into the sky. This monster was at least 7 meters long, with a wingspan of over 20 meters—its size a rarity among ordinary monsters.

Lin Moyu’s Detection spell, faster than the eagle, revealed its attributes.

[Battlefield Great Eagle]

[Level: 62]

[Strength: 80,000]

[Agility: 40,000]

[Spirit: 20,000]

[Physique: 60,000]

[Skills: Rapid Impact, Rend]

[Traits: 50% Physical Damage Reduction, 50% Elemental Damage Reduction, Extreme Speed, Dive Boost]

This level 62 ordinary monster boasted attributes totaling 200,000, far exceeding those of Lin Moyu’s Skeletal Warriors. Moreover, its dual immunity traits and ability to fly made it a formidable opponent. In a one-on-one fight, the Skeletal Warriors stood no chance.

Lin Moyu was taken aback by the eagle’s exaggerated attributes. But he wasn’t relying on just one Skeletal Warrior—he had an entire army.

The Battlefield Great Eagle circled in the sky before diving again. This time, Lin Moyu was ready. When it was 300 meters away, he cast a curse.

Skill: Slow Curse!

The sudden loss of speed caused the eagle to lose balance, tumbling through the air. Lin Moyu raised his hand, and a flame flickered in his palm. The Battlefield Great Eagle screeched, its efforts to stabilize itself in vain as it crashed to the ground, where the Skeletal Warriors were waiting. The curse was switched to the Damage Curse, and the Skeletal Warriors unleashed their skill, tearing into the eagle. Miserable screeches filled the air.

The Skeletal Mages followed up with their attacks, bombarding the eagle. Even with its double immunity reducing damage by half, the onslaught left the eagle severely injured. It glowed and broke free from the Skeletal Warriors, soaring back into the sky.

Skill: Rapid Impact!

This skill was effective not only for attacking but also for fleeing.

But Lin Moyu wasn’t about to let it escape. He cast the Slow Curse again, slowing the eagle just as it tried to gain speed. Soul Blaze ignited once more, and the eagle lost balance, crashing to the ground a second time. This time, Lin Moyu gave it no chance to rise into the air again.

[Killed level 62 Battlefield Great Eagle, EXP +1,860,000]

[Obtained Starlight Shard]

[Starlight Shard: contains the power of Immemorial Starlight; can be used by Alchemists and Blacksmiths to enhance equipment properties]

Lin Moyu examined the Starlight Shard, the first material he had obtained from a monster in the Immemorial Battlefield. It seemed that only level 60-plus monsters in the core area dropped materials, and they were of high quality.

However, his momentary joy quickly faded. The eagle’s body dissolved into countless specks of starlight that flew into the sky and vanished. Without a corpse, Corpse Explosion was restricted—a crucial part of Lin Moyu’s repertoire rendered useless.

”Is it just this monster, or do all core area monsters vanish like this?” Lin Moyu wondered aloud.

At this time, he started glowing—he had leveled up again. This was the second time in 15 days, rising from level 31 to 33. Although it wasn’t as efficient as dungeon raids, but it was still acceptable progress.

Lin Moyu’s other skills, apart from Poison Star Ring, Corpse Explosion, and Enhance Troops, had all reached level 33, including Divinity Force. Every time he leveled up, the Shenzhou Cauldron released just enough divinity energy to raise Divinity Force by one level.

His undead legions had expanded to 13, each accommodating 330 skeletons: 200 Skeletal Warriors and 130 Skeletal Mages. Summoning all 13 legions at once would unleash a force capable of supporting a major conflict.

Lin Moyu’s spirit attribute had increased to 20,965, with equipment bonuses bringing it close to 24,000. His other attributes had reached 1,393. It seemed messy, but that was the nature of Divinity Force. As he leveled up, his attributes would continue to grow at an astonishing rate.

The core area was vast, and Lin Moyu continued toward the light. After defeating several more monsters, he confirmed that all core area monsters dissolved into starlight upon death. He also encountered a level 61 Abyssal Demon, a long-range attacker capable of casting elemental spells. The battle was arduous, but Lin Moyu eventually triumphed, only for the Demon’s body to disintegrated into starlight like the others.

The core area was teeming with monsters, all in close proximity, exceptionally strong, and aggressive. Like the Battlefield Great Eagle, they often attacked before Lin Moyu even noticed them, frequently dragging nearby monsters into the fray.

The core area was far more perilous than the central area, not unlike the nightmare rank difficulty was far more dangerous than hell rank difficulty. Each monster here was far stronger than Lin Moyu’s skeletons, forcing him to rely on sheer numbers to win.

The danger didn’t end there. Occasionally, shooting stars would fall from the sky. Some exploded in the air, transforming into gigantic monsters that soared away with piercing cries, while others crashed into the ground, detonating on impact.

Lin Moyu once witnessed a shooting star land just 100 meters away. It exploded, emitting a blinding light, and out of nowhere, a pack of wolves charged at him. The pack was led by a level 63 alpha wolf, its attributes totaling 220,000—comparable to some level 55 ordinary bosses. The other wolves were level 61, their attributes totaling 180,000.

Under the alpha wolf’s command, the pack’s combat power was fearsome. For the first time, Lin Moyu’s undead legions suffered losses against ordinary monsters. Although fewer than ten skeletons perished, it was still a shocking reminder of the core area’s dangers.
