Catastrophic necromancer

**Chapter 518: The Human Race Needs Top-Tier Experts**

Antares’ emotions became agitated upon hearing Lin Moyu’s analysis, even its usually motionless wings were flapping vigorously, stirring up strong winds.

It scolded while speaking, cursing Lin Moyu for having such good luck.

Lin Moyu was somewhat amused by this, wondering what was wrong with this creature.

“Antares, can you calm down a bit?” Lin Moyu called out loudly, but his voice was too small. Only after Antares finished grumbling did it finally stop.

Antares exhaled heavily, “I’m saying, why do you have such good luck, kid?”

“It’s one thing that you got a hidden job class that I’ve never seen before, but your talents are also so strong. You got two [Primordial Runes], plus two intermediate divine realms and intermediate divine positions.”

“Now you’ve even encountered the emergence of a Soul Devourer…”

Lin Moyu was speechless, as it just kept rambling on without getting to the point.

Lin Moyu impatiently said, “Can you explain it clearly?”

Antares finally calmed down a bit, “The Soul Devourer is actually a great opportunity, it just depends on whether you can grasp it or not.”

“If you can’t grasp it…hehe, then it might become a great disaster!”

Lin Moyu said, “Our human race experienced the Soul Devourer calamity a thousand years ago, you should be clear about that incident.”

“This time, we definitely won’t let the calamity break out again.”

“My teacher and I have already analyzed it, so I’ve come to ask you if you know the method to deal with the Soul Devourer.” Antares laughed mockingly, “Of course I know the method, but…”

Lin Moyu slightly frowned, thinking it was going to withhold information again.

However, Antares shook its head, “Alright, I won’t joke with you anymore.”

“There are two ways to deal with the Soul Devourer. One is to use the soul-fusing elixir and have everyone take it. This way, the Soul Devourer hidden in their souls will die, and the Soul Devourer’s soul power will become a great supplement for the host.”

“This method has many benefits for your human race, but no benefits for you.”

Lin Moyu immediately blurted out, “Isn’t that good?”

“Of course it’s good, but there’s an issue,” Antares brought its head closer. “Tell me, which is more powerful, 100 top 85-level professionals or one 90-level divine expert?”

The answer was obvious.

“Naturally, one divine expert is more powerful.”

Although 100 top professionals working together could cause quite a bit of trouble for a 90-level divine expert, or even confront them head-on when united.

But a divine expert is not a wooden stake, standing still without moving.

Upon reaching the 90th divine level, all of a divine expert’s attributes increase significantly, be it speed, strength, or anything else, far surpassing top professionals.

With some effort, they could definitely defeat the top professionals.

Antares looked at Lin Moyu with its large eyes, “For a race, the most important thing is to have a top-tier expert appear. Even if all of your human race became divine experts, it would not be as good as having one supreme expert appear.”

“The higher the level, the greater the gap between each level.”

“You should be able to understand this principle.”

Lin Moyu pondered the meaning behind Antares’ words, “What you said is correct.”

“But becoming a supreme expert is too difficult. The three methods you mentioned for becoming a supreme expert are all not easy.”

Looking at his own reflection in Antares’ eyes, Lin Moyu seemed to guess what Antares was trying to express.

Antares said, “Actually, it’s not difficult, nor is it easy. There is currently a very good opportunity, a fateful opportunity for you.”

“If you can grasp it…then…”

The implication was self-evident – if he could grasp this opportunity, then there was a chance for him to become a supreme expert.

Lin Moyu felt excited upon realizing this, as becoming a supreme expert was his pursuit and lifelong dream.

Seeing that it had piqued Lin Moyu’s interest, the temptation of becoming a supreme expert had completely captivated Lin Moyu. Antares couldn’t help but reveal a smile in its eyes.

“The second method of dealing with the Soul Devourer is to set up a soul-fusing grand formation.”

“Doesn’t your human race have a divine formation master? Let him set up the formation, with you as the formation’s eye.”

“Once the formation is activated, the Soul Devourers within will be eliminated. But after they die, their soul power will converge onto you, becoming your nourishment.”

Lin Moyu understood – use the soul-fusing grand formation to eliminate the Soul Devourers, and gather all the opportunities that could have created hundreds or thousands of divine experts onto himself alone, turning it into an opportunity for him to become a supreme expert.

In this way, it may be unfair for many people, depriving them of the chance to become divine experts.

But for the entire human race, it would be beneficial without any harm.

Antares said, “The enhancement from your Primordial Runes has a limit, right? Deciding this limit is not just your physical body, but also your soul.”

“To become a supreme expert, you need to reach a sufficient level of strength in both your physical body and soul.”

“Originally, you would only encounter this issue after your third job transition, but now, I’ll graciously tell you in advance.”

Antares seemed quite pleased with itself, though only it knew why.

However, Lin Moyu had already taken note of its words.

Without much thought, Lin Moyu had made up his mind, “Tell me the method to set up the soul-fusing grand formation.”

Antares glanced at Lin Moyu askance, “What’s the use of telling you? You’re not a divine formation master.”

This meant: You don’t understand anything, so what’s the point of telling you?

Seeing that Lin Moyu had taken the bait, Antares finally revealed its true face, “Moreover, for such a precious thing, don’t you think you should pay a price?”

“Three transactions. As long as you agree to complete the next three transactions for me, I’ll tell you the method of setting up the soul-fusing grand formation.”

“I can even tell you the configuration method for the soul-fusing elixir. Aren’t I being very generous?”

This was the temptation of becoming a supreme expert. Antares looked at Lin Moyu with a mischievous smile, not afraid that Lin Moyu wouldn’t take the bait.

Lin Moyu pondered for a moment, “What you said makes sense. There’s no use in telling me, and this thing is quite expensive – I can’t afford it.”

Antares was stunned, “What do you mean?”

Lin Moyu said, “Exactly as I said, I can’t afford it, so I’ll have to give up.”

“Thank you for telling me the answer.”

Lin Moyu made a move to leave.

“Wait a minute!” Antares immediately called out to stop Lin Moyu.

This wasn’t going according to its expectations.

Antares said solemnly, “You don’t want to become a supreme expert anymore?”

Lin Moyu shook his head, “I do, but your price is too high for me to afford.”

Three transactions – from the experience at the Burial Lightning Valley, he could tell that Antares’ transactions were definitely not simple.

For others, they might have to risk their lives to complete them.

Moreover, Lin Moyu sensed a different taste in Antares’ words.

In fact, Lin Moyu really wanted the soul-fusing grand formation, not just the soul-fusing grand formation, but also the soul-fusing elixir.

The human race didn’t have any soul-fusing elixir recipe. The ancient texts only mentioned that there was an elixir that could kill the Soul Devourer, but there was no formula.

So Lin Moyu was just bluffing Antares.

As expected, when he made a move to leave, Antares immediately called him back.

From Antares’ eyes, he could see a hint of panic that was almost imperceptible.

Antares said coldly, “Three transactions should not be difficult for you.”

Lin Moyu shook his head, “It’s difficult, too difficult. I might even risk my life doing them. If I lose my life, then I can forget about becoming a supreme expert.”

Antares pondered for a moment, “Then how about two transactions?”

Lin Moyu still shook his head, “No need, your transactions are too difficult. I almost died in the Burial Lightning Valley last time.”

“Two transactions is already my bottom line,” Antares was still trying to negotiate.

However, there was a hint of uneasiness in its words, which Lin Moyu keenly noticed.

Lin Moyu knew that the price could still be negotiated further.

The two went back and forth, with Lin Moyu repeatedly making moves to leave, but each time being stopped by Antares.

Antares’ bottom line kept dropping lower and lower.

When the two finally reached an agreement, Antares’ large nostrils were constantly snorting heavily.

Lin Moyu obtained the configuration method for the soul-fusing elixir, as well as the method for setting up the soul-fusing grand formation, leaving with great satisfaction.

Antares realized that it seemed to have been tricked.

Lin Moyu clearly wanted these two things very much, but the human race didn’t actually have any soul-fusing elixir formula.

Lin Moyu was just bluffing.

“Where did I slip up?”

“Where exactly did I slip up?”

Antares muttered to itself, unable to figure it out.
