Catastrophic necromancer

Chapter 2972: So This Is the Special Divine Beast?

Universal Career Change: Necromancer! I Am the Calamity by Slow Pig

Divine beasts, carrying an extremely disgusting aura, rushed in from afar.

They moved at incredible speed, tiny points of light rapidly expanding before his eyes, growing brighter and brighter.

Lin Moyu could now see their appearance clearly. They looked like rats, but far more ferocious than real rats. Each had five tails growing from its back, with stingers at the end of each tail, like scorpions.

The appearance of these divine beasts reminded Lin Moyu of a spirit beast called the scorpion rat. These before him should be called five-tailed scorpion rats.

The most crucial aspect wasn’t their appearance, but the aura they emitted, which seemed to exist between reality and illusion.

Divine beasts possessing illusory power were extremely unusual.

Illusory power had decent damage against both Outer Gods and divine beasts. While not fatal, it could weaken and injure them.

But now, with these divine beasts possessing illusory power, the effect of Lin Moyu’s own illusory power would be greatly reduced.

Lin Moyu thought of the special divine beast mentioned by the Three Ancestors.

The Three Ancestors hadn’t seen that special divine beast either, only having heard of it. They only knew it possessed illusory power.

Previously, Lin Moyu had thought the Insect Mother might be that special divine beast, but now it seemed that wasn’t the case.

The five-tailed scorpion rats charged in from all directions, their numbers astonishingly high, at least several million.

If it were anyone else, they would have panicked long ago.

But for Lin Moyu, a million wasn’t much to look at.

Even if they were at the fifth level of Dao Venerable, his undead army might not be able to defeat them, but it could at least hold them off for a while.

With a thought, the Dragon Rider Legion mobilized en masse.

Ten thousand legion commanders of the Dragon Rider Legion appeared in the void.

Then the Sea Dragon Rider Legion appeared, each commander leading ten million dragon riders, totaling a hundred billion.

Compared to the dense mass of dragon riders, the mere million five-tailed scorpion rats seemed pitifully few.

However, the five-tailed scorpion rats’ realm and strength far exceeded the Dragon Rider Legion. Although vastly outnumbered, they charged forward without fear.

The two sides collided with a thunderous crash, and the battle erupted.

The Dragon Rider Legion was inferior in strength to the five-tailed scorpion rats. The first wave of contact resulted in massive casualties.

However, their numbers were simply too great. Despite heavy losses, they still managed to hold back the five-tailed scorpion rats.

The legion commanders directed the battle methodically, using their numerical advantage to surround the five-tailed scorpion rats.

The five-tailed scorpion rats rampaged through the Dragon Rider Legion but struggled to break through completely.

The sheer number of dragon riders was overwhelming, with over a hundred billion being truly despair-inducing.

Moreover, with the blessing of undead immortality, fallen dragon riders quickly revived.

As members of the undead army, they felt no fear and were unafraid of death. They would not retreat even if fought to the last man.

Lin Moyu observed the battle, examining the characteristics of the five-tailed scorpion rats and searching for their weaknesses.

The five-tailed scorpion rats possessed some traits of divine beasts, with astonishingly strong defenses. Ordinary attacks were ineffective against them.

No matter how the Dragon Rider Legion attacked, they couldn’t harm a single hair on the rats.

Their five tails possessed extremely strong offensive power.

Not just the stingers at the tail ends, but also the scales on the tails.

When attacking, these scales would open up, transforming into blades that could slice dragon riders to pieces with a swing.

After watching for a while, Lin Moyu knew that relying solely on the Dragon Rider Legion wouldn’t be enough to harm them.

The Dragon Rider Legion could only use their numerical advantage to hold them back.

Lin Moyu summoned a ball of flames, from which the Skeleton Throne emerged. A full 3,000 Skeleton Kings mobilized together.

The Skeleton Kings were a notch stronger than the Dragon Rider Legion, reaching the fourth level of Dao Venerable.

Especially when 3,000 Skeleton Kings acted together, their combat power could double, making them formidable even among fourth-level Dao Venerables.

The Skeleton Generals all raised their bone swords.

Dao Technique: Blood Kill!

Sword light bloomed on the five-tailed scorpion rats. Those locked onto by the sword light showed obvious signs of slowing.

Explosions sounded from within their bodies, then burst forth brilliantly.

Huge wounds appeared on the five-tailed scorpion rats. Blood Kill had detonated their blood essence, using their own life force to attack themselves.

In a sense, the Blood Kill dao technique was somewhat unreasonable, not caring whether the target was illusory or real.

However, in Lin Moyu’s view, Blood Kill also had its limits, which depended on the Skeleton Kings.

If Blood Kill was used to attack an Outer God, the effect wouldn’t be very good because the Outer God’s realm was too high and its power too strong. The Skeleton Kings could only mobilize a small amount of its blood essence.

Some of the five-tailed scorpion rats were severely injured. They let out shrieks of anger.

But soon, their seemingly gruesome wounds began to heal rapidly.

“These fellows, like other divine beasts, have extremely fast recovery abilities.”

“Strong defense, strong recovery, inherent illusory power, and greatly reduced vulnerability to illusory power.”

“They have almost no weaknesses. Apart from overwhelming them with more powerful force, there seems to be no other way.”

Lin Moyu roughly analyzed the current situation. It was impossible to kill the five-tailed scorpion rats relying solely on the Skeleton Kings and Dragon Rider Legion.

Currently, among conventional methods, only the Calamity Scepter could kill them.

“Let’s test again how strong their resistance to illusory power is!”

Lin Moyu thought to himself as he manifested his Fate Dao true body and condensed the Fate Sword.

Lin Moyu felt he had consumed too much fate since entering the secret realm. If he ended up with nothing in the end, it would be a huge loss.

The Fate Sword flew out, emitting a faint sword light.

A targeted five-tailed scorpion rat let out a shriek, clearly very uncomfortable.

Its aura was weakened somewhat. Fate had affected its strength, making it slightly weaker than the other five-tailed scorpion rats.

Lin Moyu only tried once before stopping. He had already confirmed that the five-tailed scorpion rats indeed had extremely strong resistance to illusory power.

Moreover, there were over a million five-tailed scorpion rats before him. It wasn’t realistic to weaken them one by one with the Fate Sword. He didn’t have that much fate to consume or that much time.

With a thought, he ordered the Dragon Rider Legion commanders to let a few five-tailed scorpion rats through.

The legion commanders controlled their troops to open a gap in the encirclement, letting four five-tailed scorpion rats through.

As soon as they broke free from the encirclement, the five-tailed scorpion rats charged towards Lin Moyu. He was their primary target.

Lin Moyu took a deep breath and manifested his Power Dao true body, transforming into a ten-meter giant, even larger than the five-tailed scorpion rats.

As his form grew, the Calamity Scepter in his hand also enlarged.

Lin Moyu’s fate roared as he swung the Calamity Scepter at the charging five-tailed scorpion rats.

Bang!

The Calamity Scepter smashed a five-tailed scorpion rat like swatting a fly, instantly killing it and leaving no trace.

Lin Moyu then swung three more times in quick succession, not giving the five-tailed scorpion rats any chance to attack, smashing them to death on the spot.

One five-tailed scorpion rat had managed to strike with its tail, but it was still smashed to pieces along with its body by the Calamity Scepter.

The power of the Calamity Scepter was once again proven. It was indeed absurdly strong. The divine beasts’ powerful defense was little better than tofu against the Calamity Scepter.

After killing four five-tailed scorpion rats, Lin Moyu didn’t continue. He waited quietly for the dao’s reward to arrive.
