Catastrophic necromancer

Chapter 426: Summoning Elemental Liches, Bone Prison

Amidst tens of thousands of starry lights, that feeling appeared again.

But it was much weaker than last time.

Lin Moyu realized 10 intermediate skill scrolls were not enough anymore.

As more skills were awakened, the consumption of skill scrolls would increase.

From needing only one or two basic scrolls to awaken new skills at level 10,

To now using a full 65 intermediate skill scrolls to awaken a new skill.

The effect of intermediate skill scrolls was over 10 times stronger than basic scrolls.

65 intermediate scrolls, in terms of effect and value, would be no less than 650 basic scrolls.

Of course Lin Moyu knew they couldn’t be compared directly, he was just making a rough comparison.

This time, the requirements were clearly higher.

That feeling only appeared for an instant, fading as the effect of the skill scrolls disappeared.

Lin Moyu immediately activated another 15 scrolls to maintain the feeling.

But 15 scrolls were far from enough.

The feeling only strengthened slightly before fading again.

Without thinking, Lin Moyu directly activated 30 intermediate scrolls, doubling the amount.

This time, the feeling became much clearer.

Following Meng Anwen’s words, Lin Moyu grasped the feeling, searching for its source.

This was a process of tracing back to the origin. Easy to say, but very difficult to do.

That feeling was too illusory and mysterious.

Roughly, there seemed to be a source.

But upon careful sensing, it seemed to come from every corner of his body.

Lin Moyu didn’t give up, continuing to sense it.

To maintain this feeling, he kept activating skill scrolls.

30 at a time, batch after batch.

Skill scrolls kept burning, the mysterious power within them continuously entering his body.

Lin Moyu’s feeling became clearer and clearer.

Gradually, he finally got a sense of the pattern.

He seemed to see something.

Then, an immense power surged forth, flowing through his entire body, quickly merging into his spiritual world and entering his soul.

The tens of thousands of starry lights from the exploding skill scrolls shot up into the sky, forming a pillar of light that dispersed the clouds.

Meng Anwen and Bai Yiyuan knew Lin Moyu had mastered another new skill.

And this new skill should be extraordinary. The previous skill didn’t have this phenomenon.

Lin Moyu saw a scene.

It was still that necromancer wearing a magic robe.

Still the pitch-black earth, covered in undead armies.

The great battle seemed to continue endlessly.

That necromancer pointed a finger, and a summoned creature enveloped in flames appeared beside him.

The moment the summoned creature appeared, flames shot into the sky. Lin Moyu couldn’t see its form clearly.

The instant it appeared, raging flames ignited on the enemies on the battlefield, burning them to ashes in the fire.

They all screamed in agony, even giant dragons were no exception, falling from the sky with screams.

The next second, the scene shattered.

[Obtained skill: Summon Elemental Lich]

[Summon Elemental Lich (Level 1): Use different elemental items to summon corresponding elemental liches. Higher grade items summon stronger liches. Only one lich of each type can exist simultaneously. Higher skill level allows more liches to exist at once.]

With this skill’s appearance, Lin Moyu found a new Lich Space in his attributes.

Currently the Lich Space showed 0/1. At level 1, only one lich was allowed to exist.

This was a completely new and unfamiliar skill.

But from the scene he just saw, this skill was very powerful, extremely powerful.

Opening his eyes, he again saw Bai Yiyuan’s expectant gaze.

“How was it, Little Yu?”

Not just his gaze, but his tone was also full of anticipation.

Lin Moyu shook his head, “I still couldn’t grasp it. I’ll try again.”

Saying this, Lin Moyu activated another batch of skill scrolls.

The first time he used 65 scrolls.

He had used about a quarter of his prepared stock.

This time, Lin Moyu directly activated 50 scrolls.

Enveloped by tens of thousands of starry lights, that feeling appeared again.

Perhaps because he had used so many skill scrolls, the feeling was very clear this time.

With two previous experiences, as soon as the feeling appeared, Lin Moyu immediately grasped it and began searching for its source.

The miraculous feeling was still like before, appearing and quickly spreading throughout his body.

Lin Moyu now understood that this feeling was simply the skill itself.

Skills were originally hidden deep inside, waiting until the level was high enough and then activated by various reasons.

Now he was trying to find the source of the skills.

With two experiences, he fully understood what he needed to do.

But knowing was easy, doing was difficult.

To keep this feeling from disappearing, to successfully activate the skill,

Lin Moyu used intermediate skill scrolls batch after batch, sparing no expense.

Meng Anwen and Bai Yiyuan watched with amazement in their eyes.

Bai Yiyuan said, “Although it’s said that the stronger the career and skills, the harder it is to awaken and master them.”

“Little Yu’s consumption of skill scrolls is really too high.”

Meng Anwen made a sound of agreement, “It is a bit high. Even for mid-tier legendary careers, at level 50 they would use at most 300 skill scrolls.”

Bai Yiyuan said, “Earth Knights might use a bit more, but wouldn’t exceed 500. But Little Yu…”

Lin Moyu had already used over 500 scrolls.

He had awakened two skills, and awakening the third skill became extremely difficult.

Skill scrolls were continuously activated and exploded, batch after batch.

In the blink of an eye, a full 1000 skill scrolls were almost used up.

Lin Moyu had now reached the most critical moment.

The feeling of the skill awakening was very strong, just one step away.

Because this time lasted longer, Lin Moyu finally found some clues.

He saw a pitch-black world with a point of light flickering within.

Now all his feelings of the skill awakening came from this point of light.

Just as he saw the light point, it exploded with a bang.

A strange feeling flowed through his entire body, rushing into his spiritual world and merging with his soul.

The skill awakened. At the moment the light point exploded, Lin Moyu sensed some unusual things.

It wasn’t seeing, but sensing.

He sensed that near the light point, there were some strange points, sleeping and waiting to awaken.

These points varied in size and shape.

They also faintly emitted different auras.

Lin Moyu understood that each point represented a skill.

This was the source of skills.

But understanding was one thing, he didn’t know what use knowing this had.

All that effort just to see it for an instant?

Now the skill had fully awakened, imprinting into his soul.

[Obtained skill: Bone Prison]

[Bone Prison (Level 1): Restrains one target or multiple enemies, causing paralysis. Restrained enemies cannot move or counterattack, and damage taken is reduced by 50%. Duration: 1 second (varies based on enemy level/attributes and number of restrained enemies).]

A control skill…

A bone system control skill.

Lin Moyu was delighted to see this skill. He finally had a control skill.

Even if the control time was only 1 second, he had his talent enhancement.

1 second became 60 seconds.

And as the skill level increased, this time would surely extend further.

Lin Moyu found his career becoming more and more perfect.

Even without talent enhancement, though attack power would be much weaker, the perfection wouldn’t change.

Even without talent enhancement, though the undead army’s combat power would be greatly reduced, the numbers wouldn’t change.

Among those of the same level, it was still invincible.

Career skills combined summoning, attack, curses, control, and immunity.

What other career could compare?

The undead army was self-supporting and didn’t need to rely on other support.

It was simply a perfect career.

When Lin Moyu opened his eyes again, he once more saw Bai Yiyuan staring at him.

Bai Yiyuan said softly, “Little Yu, it’s okay if you can’t find it. Your level is still low, you’ll have plenty of chances later.”

Meng Anwen nodded, “Being able to find it in your 80s would be good. There’s no rush.”

Lin Moyu knew the two were comforting him, but he…

Lin Moyu spoke, “Teacher, I think I found it.”

Ah!

Bai Yiyuan was about to continue comforting him when he suddenly heard Lin Moyu’s words. His words of comfort instantly turned into a strange cry.
