Catastrophic necromancer

Chapter 428: The Undead Army Covered in Auras

Elemental liches were continuously summoned and then replaced. Lin Moyu’s prepared materials were rapidly decreasing.

As the skill level increased, the aura of the elemental liches grew stronger. However, their appearance did not change at all; they remained the size of a fist, cute and adorable.

Lin Moyu found it amusing. As a dignified undead lord and necromancer, whether it was skeletons or lich generals, their appearances were all terrifying and frightening. How could such a small creature appear?

Although it still had the appearance of a lich, it looked like a deflated balloon wrapped around bones. It was too small, and its body was covered in flames, making it somewhat cute.

“When I awakened the skill earlier, it didn’t look like this.”

Lin Moyu rested his chin on his hand, watching the flaming lich circling in front of him. The difference was too great. It was hard to imagine that the flaming lich he saw during the skill awakening was the same as the one in front of him.

“Could it be related to the skill level and the materials used?”

After thinking for a while, he felt this was very likely. The materials used for summoning would affect the combat power of the elemental lich. Could it also affect its appearance?

Lin Moyu decided to put this thought aside for now and focus on leveling up the skill.

He kept using the skill and summoning liches. When the fire elemental materials were almost exhausted, the skill finally reached level 10.

With a soft hum, the elemental lich summoned at level 10 underwent a change. A halo appeared at its feet.

Lin Moyu was slightly stunned. This halo looked familiar. Except for its slightly pale color, it was similar to the Holy Fire Halo of the Holy Light Knight.

Out of curiosity, he checked the attributes of the halo.

[Witch Fire Halo: Grants the Witch Fire Halo to all members of the undead army, dealing fire damage to all enemies within a 100-meter radius. The damage is determined by the skill level and the lich’s attributes.]

Lin Moyu glanced at it. The halo affected every member of the undead army. The maximum range was centered on the position of the undead army.

The range was vast. The flaming lich didn’t need to move; the halo could cover the entire battlefield.

“Isn’t this like a Holy Light Knight?” Lin Moyu found it even more amusing. He didn’t expect his skill to have the same effect as the Holy Light Knight’s halo. Who would believe it?

Looking at the flaming lich, its empty eyes seemed to be staring back at Lin Moyu, giving him a strange feeling.

Lin Moyu couldn’t help but mutter, “Could it be that other elemental liches also have halos?”

He took out some wind elemental materials. As the skill was activated, the materials disappeared, and a breeze blew by. A wind elemental lich appeared in front of him.

The storm lich was the same size as the flaming lich, exuding cuteness. It also had a halo at its feet, a green halo.

[Witch Wind Halo: Grants the Witch Wind Halo to all members of the undead army, greatly increasing their speed. The effect is determined by the skill level and the lich’s attributes.]

The skeletons and lich generals now had a second halo at their feet. The Witch Fire Halo and Witch Wind Halo did not conflict with each other.

Lin Moyu understood. There really were halos.

The combat power of the elemental liches themselves aside, just these halos were enough to make them powerful allies.

Knowing the powerful effects of the elemental liches, Lin Moyu intensified his efforts, continuously using the skill to train.

The skill level was rapidly increasing.

Compared to the Summon Elemental Lich skill, the Lightning Undead Wings skill was progressing at a snail’s pace. It could only be used once every 15 minutes, requiring a lot of time to level up.

Lin Moyu didn’t need to worry about mental energy consumption, so the training speed for the elemental liches was very fast. Initially, he could level up once every hour. It only slowed down after reaching level 20. After reaching level 40, it slowed down even more.

Nevertheless, after five days of continuous effort without rest, Lin Moyu managed to train the Summon Elemental Lich skill to level 50, achieving perfection.

Now it was easier. As his level increased, the skill would also level up.

Lin Moyu let out a long sigh of relief. Five days of hard work had brought the Summon Elemental Lich skill to level 50. The Lightning Undead Wings skill had also reached level 2. The flight time increased by 10 seconds, doubling the duration. The cooldown time decreased by 1 minute, allowing it to be used once every 9 minutes.

At level 2, the speed of the Lightning Undead Wings increased from 500 meters per second to 600 meters per second. The reduced cooldown time further accelerated the training speed.

Lin Moyu believed that with a bit more effort, the training speed would continue to increase.

Now, the question before Lin Moyu was what materials to use for summoning the elemental liches. The quality of the materials determined the strength of the elemental liches.

Using poor materials was pointless. Legendary materials were out of reach for Lin Moyu.

After much consideration, Lin Moyu decided to use elemental crystals. He took out one each of the Flame Crystal, Earth Crystal, Light Crystal, Clear Water Crystal, Whirlwind Crystal, and Lightning Crystal. These crystals were items obtained after level 40, equivalent to platinum-grade weapons.

Apart from divine stones, these were the best elemental items Lin Moyu could currently use. With a decision made, he held the Flame Crystal in his hand.

Skill: Summon Elemental Lich!

A pillar of fire shot up from Lin Moyu’s body. Standing in the center of the flames, Lin Moyu felt only a slight warmth, with no harm from the fire.

The Flame Crystal shattered, and a flaming lich appeared before Lin Moyu. Compared to the lich summoned with low-level materials, this flaming lich was significantly larger, growing from the size of a fist to the size of an adult’s head.

Perhaps due to the round shape of the crystal, the flaming lich also appeared rounder. It seemed thicker, softer, and its bones were less prominent.

“Why does it look even cuter…” Lin Moyu felt it didn’t match his image as a necromancer. Clearly, it was an undead summon, yet it looked so cute. It was a headache!

With each use of the skill, more elemental liches appeared: storm lich, ice lich, earth lich, lightning lich, and light lich, one after another. Each lich had a halo at its feet.

Six liches circled around Lin Moyu continuously!

Lin Moyu checked the attributes of each lich and familiarized himself with their skills.

[Platinum-grade Elemental Lich]

[Level: 50]

[Strength: 90,000]

[Agility: 90,000]

[Mental: 90,000]

[Constitution: 90,000]

All six liches had identical attributes, with no differences. The only difference was the type of halo they possessed.

Flaming Lich.

[Flame Halo: Grants the Flame Halo to all members of the undead army, dealing fire damage to all enemies within a 1,000-meter radius. The damage is determined by the skill level and the lich’s attributes.]

Storm Lich.

[Storm Halo: Grants the Storm Halo to all members of the undead army, greatly increasing their speed. The effect is determined by the skill level and the lich’s attributes.]

Ice Lich.

[Ice Halo: Grants the Ice Halo to all members of the undead army, causing a freezing effect on all enemies within a 1,000-meter radius. The freezing effect is determined by the skill level and the lich’s attributes.]

Earth Lich.

[Earth Halo: Grants the Earth Halo to all members of the undead army, greatly increasing their defense. The effect is determined by the skill level and the lich’s attributes.]

Lightning Lich.

[Lightning Halo: Grants the Lightning Halo to all members of the undead army, dealing lightning damage to all enemies within a 1,000-meter radius, with a chance to cause a paralysis effect. The damage is determined by the skill level and the lich’s attributes.]

Light Lich.

[Holy Light Halo: Grants the Holy Light Halo to all members of the undead army, increasing their resistance to light element damage and enhancing their attack power against dark element monsters. The effect is determined by the skill level and the lich’s attributes.]

Looking at the attributes of the halos, six halos of different sizes and colors were neatly arranged under the feet of the undead army. The colorful halos illuminated the ground, creating a magnificent sight.

The undead army had transformed into a holy light army. With all these enhancements, the undead army had become incredibly powerful, beyond Lin Moyu’s imagination.

Enemies would face fire, lightning, and freezing effects before even getting close. It would be utterly despairing.

Lin Moyu realized that every 10 levels brought a significant leap, not just in overall enhancement but also in new skills that brought transformative changes.

Strong, incredibly strong.
