Necromancer: I Am A Disaster

Elemental Liches were continuously summoned and replaced, rapidly depleting the pile of materials Lin Moyu had prepared.

As the skill leveled up, the aura of the summoned Elemental Liches grew stronger—but their appearance remained the same: small, only the size of a fist, looking more silly than sinister.

Lin Moyu felt a mix of amusement and frustration. As a dignified Necrolord—an undead-type Summoner—he was used to summoning intimidating beings like skeletons or Lich Generals.

So how did such a tiny creature emerge?

Though it still resembled a Lich—a deflated ball of skin stretched over bone—it was just too small. Covered in flames, it actually looked kind of cute.

“This isn’t what it looked like when I awakened the skill.”

He propped his chin on his hand, watching the Fire Lich spin in the air.

The difference was striking. Was this really the same Fire Lich he had seen when he awakened the skill?

“Could it be due to the skill’s level and materials?”

After some thought, he concluded that might be the case. The quality of materials clearly impacted the Elemental Lich’s combat power—perhaps it altered its form too.

Still, he set the thought aside. First, he needed to max out the skill.

Just as he was about to run out of fire elemental materials, the skill hit level 10.

With a soft hum, a new Elemental Lich was summoned—this time, a glowing ring of light appeared beneath its feet.

Lin Moyu was stunned.

That ring... it looked familiar.

Aside from being a bit pale in color, it was nearly identical to the Sacred Light Knight’s Holyfire Ring.

Intrigued, he immediately checked its properties.

[Lichfire Ring: grants all undead troops the Lichfire Ring, dealing fire damage to all enemies within a 100-meter radius. The damage is based on the skill’s level and the Lich’s attributes.]

The ring of light wasn’t limited to just the Lich—it applied to every undead troop on the battlefield.

And because the range was centered on each unit, it created an enormous zone of effect.

The Fire Lich didn’t even need to move. Its ring alone was enough to blanket the entire battlefield.

“Am I basically a Sacred Light Knight now?” Lin Moyu stared blankly, still processing what just happened.

He never expected his skill to replicate the effects of one of the Sacred Light Knight class.

Who would believe him if he told them?

The tiny Fire Lich floated quietly in front of him, its hollow sockets locked onto him.

The air grew a little strange.

“Would the other elements have rings too?” He muttered.

Without hesitation, he pulled out a batch of wind elemental materials.

As the skill activated, a unit of the materials vanished in a flash—and a breeze stirred the air.

A Wind Elemental Lich emerged, small and adorable like its fire counterpart, shrouded in whirling currents of air.

At its feet spun a green ring of light.

[Lichwind Ring: grants all undead troops the Lichwind Ring, greatly increasing their movement speed. The effect is based on the skill’s level and the Lich’s attributes.]

The undead troops around him glowed faintly as a second ring formed beneath their feet.

The Lichfire Ring and Lichwind Ring didn’t interfere with each other. They stacked.

Lin Moyu’s eyes lit up with understanding.

Putting aside the Liches’ own combat power, these ring effects alone made them incredible support units.

Realizing their potential, he doubled down on leveling the skill, relentlessly grinding it.

Compared to this, grinding the Lightning Deathwings skill felt painfully slow. With a 10-minute cooldown between casts, raising its level was like watching grass grow.

Lin Moyu didn’t need to worry about spirit force consumption, so leveling Summon Elemental Lich progressed rapidly.

At first, he could raise the skill’s level once per hour.

Things slowed a bit after level 20.

Then again after level 40.

But even so, after five days without rest, he finally pushed the skill to level 50—maxing it out.

From this point on, any further leveling would be automatic, tied to his own level progression.

Lin Moyu exhaled a long, relieved breath.

After five relentless days, Summon Elemental Lich was finally maxed out.

Meanwhile, Lightning Deathwings had only reached level 2.

Still, the flight duration increased by 10 seconds, doubling it.

The cooldown was reduced by 1 minute, now down to 9 minutes.

The speed also improved—from 500 meters per second to 600.

Additionally, the cooldown reduction meant the skill could be grinded faster moving forward.

If he kept at it, the pace would continue to pick up.

Now, the real question loomed before him: what materials should he use to summon Elemental Liches?

Material quality directly impacted their strength. Using materials that were too inferior was pointless.

As for legendary-grade resources? He had none.

After some thought, Lin Moyu laid out a collection of Elemental Crystals—Fire, Earth, Light, Water, Wind, and Lightning.

Each crystal was level 40—materials on par with platinum rank equipment.

Aside from divine stones, these were the best elemental items he could currently produce.

Decision made, he picked up the Fire Crystal.

Skill: Summon Elemental Lich!

A pillar of fire erupted from his body, engulfing him in blazing light.

Yet within the inferno, he felt no heat—only a gentle warmth. The flames licked around him harmlessly, like a welcome embrace.

The Fire Crystal shattered in a burst of energy, a Fire Lich emerged.

This one was vastly different from the earlier version summoned with low-grade materials.

This Fire Lich was now the size of an adult’s head. Its body had a rounded shape—perhaps a byproduct of the crystal’s original form.

Its skin looked thicker, almost squishy, and the once-protruding bones were now softer, barely showing through.

“…Why did it get even cuter?” Lin Moyu felt a headache coming on.

He was a Necrolord, a master of death, the shadow behind the battlefield—summoning adorable burning marshmallows wasn’t exactly on brand.

Still, he continued casting the skill, one crystal after another.

The Wind Lich, Ice Lich, Earth Lich, Lightning Lich, and Light Lich emerged one after another, a glowing ring of light spinning gently beneath their feet.

A total of six Elemental Liches now circled around Lin Moyu.

Lin Moyu began inspecting their attributes and skills.

[Platinum Elemental Lich]

[Level: 50]

[Strength: 90,000]

[Agility: 90,000]

[Spirit: 90,000]

[Physique: 90,000]

Their attributes were identical—strength, agility, spirit, and endurance, all at a flat 90,000. There was no variance between them.

The only difference lay in the element of the ring of light each one projected beneath them.

Fire Lich.

[Fire Ring: grants all undead troops the Fire Ring, dealing fire damage to all enemies within a 1,000-meter radius. The damage is based on the skill’s level and the Lich’s attributes.]

Wind Lich.

[Wind Ring: grants all undead troops the Wind Ring, greatly increasing their movement speed. The effect is based on the skill’s level and the Lich’s attributes.]

Ice Lich.

[Ice Ring: grants all undead troops the Ice Ring, applying a freezing effect to all enemies within a 1,000-meter radius. The effect is based on the skill’s level and the Lich’s attributes.]

Earth Lich.

[Earth Ring: grants all undead troops the Earth Ring, greatly increasing their defense. The effect is based on the skill’s level and the Lich’s attributes.]

Lightning Lich.

[Lightning Ring: grants all undead troops the Lightning Ring, dealing lightning damage to all enemies within a 1,000-meter radius. Has a chance of triggering paralysis. The damage is based on the skill’s level and the Lich’s attributes.]

Light Lich.

[Light Ring: grants all undead troops the Light Ring, increasing their resistance to light elemental attacks and enhancing their damage against darkness-type enemies. The effect is based on the skill’s level and the Lich’s attributes.]

Lin Moyu studied each effect carefully.

At the feet of his undead troops, six rings of light spun in harmony, forming a radiant array, casting colored glows across the field.

The undead army had undergone a stunning transformation—it had become a Sacred Light Army.

With all the various buffs, Lin Moyu himself could hardly imagine just how powerful the undead army had become.

Before the enemy could even get close, they would be first burned by fire, struck by lightning, and frozen by frost.

It was enough to drive anyone to despair.

Lin Moyu realized that every 10 levels marked a massive leap for him—not just because his Comprehensive Amplification talent would level up.

The new skills he gained were often game-changers as well.
