Catastrophic necromancer

**Chapter 698: Every Skill is Abnormal**

Antares blinked its dragon eyes, somewhat in disbelief. Lin Moyu didn’t just disappear; he severed Antares’ soul lock. Although Antares found Lin Moyu again in the next second, for that brief moment, Lin Moyu had indeed escaped its soul lock.

Antares was very aware of its own strength. In this world, no one could escape its soul lock. Even in the previous era, true super-gods couldn’t do it. But just now, in that instant of acceleration, Lin Moyu truly broke free from its soul lock. It was as if a sharp blade had directly cut off their connection.

Antares didn’t care about Lin Moyu’s speed, which to it was no different from a turtle’s crawl. But the ability to sever a soul lock was extraordinary.

“Another abnormal skill!” Antares muttered to itself. “That brat’s skills are all abnormal.”

Such a skill was a divine ability for escaping. Lin Moyu was now hovering in the air, his face full of shock. In just one second, he had flown 100,000 meters. His speed had increased tenfold. If 10,000 meters per second was nothing, then 100,000 meters per second was astonishing. And he hadn’t even used his full strength, only less than one percent of his soul power. Moreover, the divine power had quickly replenished the consumed soul power.

“If I go all out…”

Lin Moyu couldn’t even imagine how fast he could be. “Let’s try it!”

Excited, Lin Moyu aimed in Antares’ direction and said, “Antares, I’m going to fly at full speed. Help me measure my speed.”

The speed was too fast for him to calculate, so he asked Antares for help. He knew Antares would definitely hear him. Without waiting for Antares to respond, Lin Moyu activated all his soul power. Lin Moyu disappeared from Antares’ soul lock again. When Antares found Lin Moyu again, ten seconds had passed. During those ten seconds, Antares had no trace of Lin Moyu, as if he had truly disappeared.

After ten seconds, Lin Moyu had crossed the entire upper space, reaching the other end. A repulsive force from the space tried to expel Lin Moyu. At this moment, Lin Moyu looked somewhat weak, his soul power almost exhausted. But he was very excited, having crossed the entire upper space in less than ten seconds. The distance was hard to measure, but it was definitely tens of thousands of kilometers. Only Antares would know the exact distance.

Before Lin Moyu could speak, a great force acted on him. Accompanied by a dizzying teleportation, Lin Moyu found himself back beside Antares. Lin Moyu, still excited, asked, “How was the speed?”

Antares snorted, “The speed was okay, about 2,000 kilometers per second.”

“So fast!” Lin Moyu exclaimed. At 2,000 kilometers per second, he could cross the Wind and Thunder Sea in one second in the lower space. Unfortunately, his soul power was too weak to maintain such a speed for more than ten seconds.

Antares said, “The greatest function of this skill is not its speed.”

“Not speed? Then what is it?” Lin Moyu asked.

Antares replied solemnly, “You might not have noticed, but the greatest function of this skill is its ability to sever others’ soul locks on you.”

“Sever soul locks!” Lin Moyu couldn’t help but exclaim. He knew what this meant and couldn’t help but feel excited.

Antares said, “With this skill, if someone is chasing you, you don’t need to be very fast. You just need to sever their soul lock for a period of time, and you can escape.”

“It might not work against someone like me, but against enemies like the Desolate Beasts, it would be very useful.”

Lin Moyu added, “It’s not just useful for escaping; it can also be used in battle to dodge soul-locking skills.”

When others’ skills can’t lock onto you, the battle becomes much more interesting.

“You’re right, but that requires extremely precise control. Are you sure you can do it?” Antares doubted. Even using a tiny bit of soul power, Lin Moyu could suddenly fly tens of thousands of meters. In battle, flying that far would be like leaving the battlefield. To achieve the effect Lin Moyu mentioned, extremely precise control was necessary.

Lin Moyu was confident, “If I can’t do it, I’ll practice more. What’s there to be afraid of?”

“Alright, as long as you like it.” Antares had no objections; there was only one way to find out. Whether he could master it or not, at least there was no harm in trying.

Lin Moyu thought for a moment, “Come into my soul space and help me check. I think my soul space has changed.”

Antares agreed readily, “Sure.”

Lin Moyu’s invitation to enter his soul space showed his trust in Antares. Antares liked this feeling. Upon entering Lin Moyu’s soul space again, Antares immediately saw the skill star core burning like a star. It was the brightest among all the skill star cores, burning like a blazing flame. It was also the largest, emitting a warm aura that illuminated most of the soul space. The other skill star cores orbited around it like planets.

Antares took one look and said, “Indeed, a 100% fusion rate, nearly perfect, just one step away from sublimation.”

Lin Moyu asked, “It can still be sublimated?”

“It can, but you’re far from that. Don’t ask about things beyond your reach.” Antares blocked Lin Moyu’s next question.

Lin Moyu wasn’t in a hurry; it was indeed too early for that. Antares looked around, “Your soul space has expanded. In terms of unit space, it’s already close to the level of a half-step super-god.”

“Not bad, keep it up.”

Antares, like an elder, praised Lin Moyu before leaving the soul space. Lin Moyu knew that if Antares didn’t mention any problems, there were none. He then focused on practicing the control of the Wings of the Undead. Each time, he used only a tiny bit of soul power to precisely control the movement range. Initially, he flew tens of thousands of meters each time, but with continuous practice, his precision improved rapidly. The more Lin Moyu practiced, the more excited he became, and his speed increased. With the divine power’s support, his soul power recovery rate of 7,900% allowed him to practice without any worries.

Antares watched Lin Moyu flash east and west, his control becoming more and more proficient. “This kid is indeed a genius.”

“At level 79, his soul level has already reached 93, and his soul space can rival a half-step super-god.”

“His future is limitless. He might really become the master of the world.”

“But whether becoming the master of the world is a blessing or a curse, if he wants to break free, he must take this step.”

“Kid, I wish you luck.”

Antares’ gaze was extremely complex, holding great expectations for Lin Moyu but also concerns. However, as it said, if he wanted to break free, some things had to be done.
