Necromancer: I Am A Disaster

Lin Moyu’s lightning elemental immunity had already reached 75%, and the Genesis Scepter glowed much brighter than when he first obtained it.

The scepter emitted a radiance, resembling a flawless piece of jade—except numerous cracks and blemishes marred its surface. Lin Moyu speculated that once these imperfections were repaired, the Genesis Scepter would fully recover, revealing its true power.

Compared to the Monarch’s Scepter, Lin Moyu was curious to see which one was superior.

Unfurling Lightning Wings on his back, Lin Moyu dismissed his Bone Armor and dove into the stormy clouds, enduring the corrosive wind and rain. In an instant, bolts of lightning rained down upon him.

[Obtained Genesis Lightning, EXP +2,000,000]

[Obtained Genesis Lightning, EXP +2,000,000]

The storm clearly rejected Lin Moyu’s intrusion.

Genesis Lightning in the level 60 area was many times stronger than before.

A tingling sensation coursed through him as vast amounts of Genesis Lightning surged into his body, fueling the heat within him. Once it reached a limit, the energy overflowed into the Genesis Scepter.

At the same time, his undead army suffered staggering damage. Lin Moyu’s expression shifted slightly—the damage from just a fleeting moment was astonishing.

Simply remaining in the summon space was no longer sufficient for the skeletons to recover.

Despite 75% lightning elemental immunity and five-fold damage reduction (equivalent to a twenty-fold reduction), Lin Moyu still found the storm’s power difficult to withstand.

In response, Lin Moyu unleashed his entire undead army. Skeletons rained down from the sky.

The 20 Lich Generals immediately cast Legion Heal, healing themselves and the skeletons.

As lightning strikes continued, massive amounts of damage were redirected to the skeletons. However, the Lich Generals’ quick and comprehensive healing outpaced the inflicted damage.

Lin Moyu paid no further attention to the lightning strikes.

The heat continued to flow into the Genesis Scepter, causing it to shine even brighter. His lightning elemental immunity also showed signs of increasing.

By the time the storm’s Genesis Lightning was completely absorbed, Lin Moyu’s lightning elemental immunity had risen to 76%.

This single storm was more powerful than ten storms from the previous area.

Over half the cracks on the Genesis Scepter had vanished. Based on this progress, Lin Moyu calculated that with a few more storms, the Genesis Scepter could be fully restored.

His EXP skyrocketed, jumping from 30% to 50%.

With a hint of satisfaction, Lin Moyu ventured deeper into the level 60 area alongside Dongfang Yao, continuing their search for storm clusters.

His undead army cleared the path ahead, continuously relaying information about their surroundings back to Lin Moyu. However, as they advanced, it became evident that the number of storm clusters in the level 60 area was significantly lower. ŘÄɴO͍𝖇Èṧ

Over the course of three days, they managed to locate only two storms.

After absorbing all the Genesis Lightning from these storms, Lin Moyu’s EXP climbed to level 41 (88%), and his lightning elemental immunity rose to 79%.

By now, only one crack remained on the Genesis Scepter. This single fracture ran along its entire length, stretching from the base to the very tip.

Lin Moyu estimated that absorbing lightning from one more storm would allow him to reach level 42, push his lightning elemental immunity to 80%, and fully restore the Genesis Scepter.

The thought brought a faint smile to his face.

In the three days they traveled, Lin Moyu and Dongfang Yao ventured another 2,000 kilometers into the level 60 area.

The Putrid Corpse monsters they encountered began exceeding level 64, but surprisingly, no boss-type monsters had appeared so far.

Lin Moyu began to doubt whether the Putrid Corpse Land contained any boss rank monsters at all. Dongfang Yao, who had already shared everything she knew about the place, was equally uncertain.

Storms became even rarer, and the surrounding conditions shifted once more.

The corrosive wind intensified, howling across the barren, desolate expanse.

Lin Moyu had to reapply Bone Armor every ten minutes to shield himself and Dongfang Yao. The wind’s attack power was staggering, growing more ferocious with each step they took. Without the Bone Armor’s protection, Dongfang Yao wouldn’t have survived even a minute in this environment.

Even a level 60 Knight would struggle to endure more than a couple of minutes, requiring constant support from a Healer just to persist.

The wind wasn’t the only threat. As they ventured deeper, the number of monsters multiplied significantly.

The undead army scouted ahead, often encountering swarms of enemies.

After level 60, each level increase greatly boosted the attributes.

For instance, level 64 monsters were three to four times stronger than level 60 monsters. To defeat such a foe, the Skeletal Great Mages had to cast Elemental Explosion 30 to 40 times.

On the fifth day of their journey through the level 60 area, Lin Moyu and Dongfang Yao encountered a massive group of over 300 monsters, ranging from level 64 to level 65.

Despite the overwhelming numbers, the monsters were swiftly dealt with, thanks to Lin Moyu’s formidable undead army.

Dongfang Yao was visibly shaken, ”It’s a good thing it’s you. If it were anyone else, they’d have no choice but to escape.”

Lin Moyu remained calm, ”A level 70-plus top-level class user could handle these monsters without much difficulty. They have the advantage of extended flight and can retreat if they’re outmatched.”

Dongfang Yao shook her head in disagreement, “But what if there are Putrid Corpse monsters above level 70 up ahead?”

Her words made Lin Moyu’s expression grow serious.

What she said was entirely possible.

If they encountered level 70 Putrid Corpse monsters, the challenge would increase exponentially—especially if those monsters were also capable of flight.

He pondered the potential dangers ahead, but there was only one way to find out. No matter what awaited them, they had come too far to turn back now.

Suddenly, a bright flash lit up the distance, followed by a deafening clap of thunder just two seconds later.

Lin Moyu’s face lit up with excitement, “A storm!”

Without hesitation, the two rushed toward the source of the sound.

It had been two days since their last storm. The deeper they ventured into the level 60 area, the scarcer storms became.

Another flash illuminated the sky, and rolling thunder echoed through the barren land. Though the sound seemed close, the storm was still far away.

After some time, they finally arrived.

In the distance stood a gigantic storm, far larger than any they had encountered before.

The howling winds lashed against them, and the Bone Armor creaked under the pressure.

At the storm’s edge, the corrosive wind was far more terrifying than anything they had previously experienced.

Lin Moyu gazed at the colossal storm cluster ahead, his excitement tempered by resolve.

If he could absorb all the Genesis Lightning within this storm, he was confident of reaching level 42. Additionally, there was an 80% to 90% chance the Genesis Scepter would be fully restored.

Dongfang Yao pointed toward the center of the storm, ”Look, what’s that?”

In the very heart of the storm stood an enormous monster.

Towering over 30 meters tall, it resembled a small mountain. It exuded a powerful aura of decay.

A bolt of lightning struck the creature, enveloping its entire body in a brilliant glow—only to be absorbed effortlessly by it.

”A boss!” Lin Moyu mused, ”As expected, there are bosses in the Putrid Corpse Land.”

However, this boss was rather unusual.

The monster had the head of a human, wings of a Demon, and the tail of a Dragonkind, and its body was covered in dark, glossy scales. It looked like a hybrid between the three races.

Dongfang Yao frowned, her voice tinged with unease, ”How could such a monstrosity exist?”

Faced with the unknown, Lin Moyu remained cautious. He cast the Detection spell on the monster.

[Hybrid Putrid Monster (boss rank monster)]

[Level: 66]

It was indeed a boss. However, the Detection spell failed to reveal any of its attributes or skills, leaving Lin Moyu in the dark about its strengths and weaknesses.

”It reeks!” Dongfang Yao exclaimed, pinching her nose in disgust.

The storm’s howling wind carried a putrid stench—a nauseating smell emanating from the boss itself, sharp and overwhelming.

As the boss absorbed the Genesis Lightning from the storm, its aura visibly intensified. Then, it turned its gaze toward Lin Moyu, its hollow, glowing eyes locking onto him.

In an instant, the monster charged out.

Despite its colossal size, the boss moved at an astonishing speed, closing the distance with terrifying swiftness. Its speed rivaled that of the Skeletal Berserk Warriors, a clear indicator of its high agility attribute.

Given its immense size and bulk, Lin Moyu also deduced that its strength attribute would not be low.

With a command from Lin Moyu, Skeletal Berserk Warriors charged to intercept the monster.

The sheer size and momentum of the creature were like an unstoppable tidal wave. It barreled through the Skeletal Berserk Warriors, knocking them aside.

Lin Moyu’s expression darkened slightly as he observed the scene.

Even after receiving status buffs, the level 41 Skeletal Berserk Warriors had their strength attribute boosted to 168,000—yet they were still unable to resist the boss’s power.

Based on this, Lin Moyu estimated the boss’s strength attribute to exceed 200,000.

One direct blow from the boss could likely shatter the Bone Armor, making it an extremely dangerous adversary.

“Fall back. Keep your distance.” Lin Moyu commanded sharply, then charged forward alongside the undead army.

Lin Moyu knew he could withstand the boss’s attacks, but if Dongfang Yao got caught in the fray, she wouldn’t survive more than two hits.

The undead army surged forward, their numbers swelling as Lin Moyu brought out his full force.

Having reached level 41, his summoning capabilities were raised again: the summon space expanded from 600 to 630 slots; the number of troops commanded by the Lich Generals increased accordingly.

In total, there were now 21 undead legions, each comprising 630 skeletons—an even mix of Warriors, Mages, and Archers.

This brought Lin Moyu’s undead army to a total of 13,230 undead soldiers.

Thousands of Skeletal Berserk Warriors charged forward, this time halting the boss’s advance and surrounding it.

The Skeletal Berserk Warriors unleashed their skill, and glowing red axes slashed down on the boss.

Simultaneously, fiery explosions erupted across its massive frame as the Skeletal Great Mages unleashed their Elemental Explosion skill.

From a distance, thousands of arrows fired by the Skeletal Marksmen streaked through the air and struck the boss with unerring accuracy, turning the creature into what looked like a grotesque hedgehog.
