Catastrophic necromancer

Chapter 497: This Is Not How You Use Skills

Lin Moyu hadn’t been idle these days. He had been continuously training his Lightning Undead Wings.

By now, they had reached level 4.

**[Lightning Undead Wings (Level 4)]: Grants the ability to fly for 40 seconds to both the user and summoned creatures. Cooldown time: 7 minutes. The higher the skill level, the faster the flight speed and the shorter the cooldown time.**

The flight speed had increased to 800 meters per second, which was quite fast.

Lin Moyu flew out for several kilometers and saw a large number of monsters.

Since he wanted to experiment, there was nothing better than actual combat.

After flying for a while, he finally found a BOSS.

Judging by its size, it should be a lord-level BOSS, around level 75.

The Shenlong Continent is one of the safer lower spaces among the four continents.

The strongest monster on it is only an 80-level world-class BOSS.

Other monsters are generally around level 70.

It became Lin Moyu’s target.

The entire undead army appeared.

A total of 32,670 skeletons, including berserkers, mages, and archers, each numbering 10,890, forming a very balanced force.

Lin Moyu thought for a moment and summoned all the Elemental Liches.

Previously, he had summoned the Flame Lich and replaced the Poison Lich. This time, the six Elemental Liches were Flame, Storm, Ice, Earth, Lightning, and Undead.

Six different colored auras appeared under the feet of the undead army, constantly flashing and rotating, dazzlingly beautiful. Except for the spare skeletons in the summoning space, Lin Moyu had summoned all he could.

The **[Zhe]** character rune on the back of his right hand began to glow.

**Skill: Power Gathering!**

Using this skill for the first time, Lin Moyu was a bit unfamiliar.

But he quickly adapted.

Each summoned creature had its own position and connection in his mental world.

It was like a huge mental network in Lin Moyu’s mind, connecting all the summoned creatures.

This is true for any summoner; they have a mental connection with their summoned creatures.

As the skill activated, Lin Moyu saw countless points of light in his mental world. The mental world became brilliant.

His entire being was radiant.

A vast amount of power was transmitted from all the summoned creatures.

Strength increased, agility increased, mental power increased, and constitution also increased.

Not just the skeletons, but also the Lich Generals and Elemental Liches.

Their attributes were converging onto him.

Lin Moyu found himself mastering the berserk skill of the Skeleton Berserkers.

Then he mastered the elemental explosion skill of the Skeleton Mages.

The skills of the archers, the Lich Generals, and the Elemental Liches…

He mastered all their skills.

Suddenly, Lin Moyu had a flash of inspiration, realizing he had mastered the Lich General’s skill.

“Does this mean I can use the skill to neutralize corpse poison?”

Without hesitation, he used the skill on a monster.

The skill’s light shone, and both Lin Moyu and the undead army felt the skill’s effect.

Unfortunately, the skill didn’t work on the monster.

Although the Lich General’s skill was inherited, it could only benefit himself and the undead army.

However, Lin Moyu felt the effect of the support skill for the first time.

But he didn’t feel any increase in attributes.

“Clearly, the skill was used, so why don’t I feel stronger?”

He checked his attributes.

**[Name: Lin Moyu (Power Gathering State)]**

**[Level: 53]**

**[Strength: 1,000,000]**

**[Agility: 1,000,000]**

**[Mental Power: 1,000,000]**

**[Constitution: 1,000,000]**

Lin Moyu was shocked by his own attributes.

All his four main attributes had reached 1 million.

With a total of 4 million attributes, he was comparable to an 80-level world-class BOSS.

A level 53 human with attributes comparable to an 80-level world-class BOSS was unbelievable.

“If I use the **[Strong Soldier]** skill, which can increase attributes by 200%, and if it works…”

“Each attribute would reach 3 million, with a total of 12 million, comparable to a god-level expert.” God-level experts have a common trait: their total base attributes exceed 10 million.

Just thinking about it made Lin Moyu excited.

Without hesitation, he activated the **[Strong Soldier]** skill.

The skill’s light fell, and the skeletons’ aura increased dramatically.

But Lin Moyu still didn’t feel any change.

He checked his attributes again, and each attribute was still 1 million, unchanged.

Lin Moyu thought for a moment and realized a possibility.

“It seems that 1 million per attribute is my current limit.”

“Maybe as my level increases, this limit can be further raised.”

He felt his guess was correct.

“But even in my current state, I’m already very strong.”

With 4 million total attributes and the skills he inherited, his burst power was astonishing.

Especially the berserk skill from the Skeleton Berserkers, which could deal damage equivalent to 600% of his strength attribute.

With a strength attribute of 1 million, he could deal damage equivalent to 7 million strength.

Although the **[Strong Soldier]** skill couldn’t further increase his attributes, the 500% damage boost still existed. Taking advantage of the skill’s duration, Lin Moyu couldn’t wait to try it out.

He took a platinum-level axe from his storage space and charged at the BOSS.

He used a detection spell.

**[Roaring Fang Beast King (World-class BOSS)]**

**[Level: 73]**

**[Strength: 800,000]**

**[Agility: 550,000]**

**[Mental Power: 550,000]**

**[Constitution: 700,000]**

**[Skills: Roaring Rage, Powerful Attack]**

**[Traits: 50% Wind Element Damage Reduction, Enhanced Vitality, Enhanced Attack]**

With single immunity and double enhancement, it was just an average world-class BOSS.

Lin Moyu felt this BOSS was somewhat overrated, as most world-class BOSSes have some passive skills.

Even some powerful lord-level BOSSes have strong passive abilities.

This BOSS seemed a bit weak.

“Indeed, it’s a bit weak, but it’s perfect for testing!”

Lin Moyu smiled and charged down.

The Roaring Fang Beast King saw Lin Moyu due to the detection spell.

BOSSes over level 70 can also fly.

It leaped up like lightning, roaring, and countless spikes grew from its body, turning it into a porcupine.

“So it has passive traits, I underestimated you!”

Lin Moyu didn’t care and swung his axe.

**Skill: Berserk Strike!**

The axe emitted a strong red light, illuminating the surroundings.

Usually, it was the Skeleton Berserkers using this skill, but now it was his turn, and it felt different.

Lin Moyu was familiar with most professions and mastered various combat styles.

The axe was one of the berserker’s weapons, and Lin Moyu had used it before, very skillfully.

This strike was even stronger than the Skeleton Berserkers’.

Boom!

With a loud noise, the axe accurately struck the Roaring Fang Beast King’s head.

Crack!

Lin Moyu seemed to hear the sound of bones breaking.

The Roaring Fang Beast King let out a miserable cry, and the spikes on its body shot out like swords.

The spikes were extremely fast, almost as fast as lightning, giving Lin Moyu no chance to dodge.

The spikes pierced through the skeletal armor and hit Lin Moyu.

But it was like hitting a stone wall; Lin Moyu didn’t feel any pain.

He smiled even more, knowing that with his 1 million constitution, the BOSS’s 800,000 strength couldn’t even break his defense.

Even without using damage transfer, Lin Moyu blocked the attack.

For the first time, Lin Moyu felt his own strength.

Boom!

**Skill: Elemental Explosion!**

The Roaring Fang Beast King let out another miserable cry, being blasted into the air.

Although it was blown away, it didn’t take much damage.

The Elemental Explosion’s power was average, as it was only a level 50 skill. Despite his strong attributes, the skill’s power was still weak.

The only advantage was that it combined with the archer’s soul lock, making the skill hit 100% of the time, slightly stronger than the Skeleton Mages.

But that was it.

Lin Moyu tried several more skills.

With strong base attributes, skills like Soul Flame were enhanced.

But skills like Bone Spikes and Poison Star Explosion didn’t change.

Overall, the **[Power Gathering]** skill greatly enhanced his attributes but didn’t significantly increase his overall combat power.

Even with the increased attributes, his combat power was only equivalent to dozens of Skeleton Berserkers and lasted only 5 minutes.

Lin Moyu felt a sense of disappointment.

“Is the **[Primordial Rune]** skill really this weak?”

“No, it’s not like that!”

Lin Moyu suddenly realized the true use of the skill, becoming excited!
