Necromancer: I Am A Disaster Chapter 23 - Unupgraded Skill; Blind Spot In Knowledge

Outside the iron gate, Lin Moyu used the Detection spell.

Goblin Mine Guard (enhanced elite monster)

[Level: 14]

[Strength: 800]

[Agility: 400]

[Spirit: 200]

[Physique: 1,000]

[Skill: Dazing Attack]

As expected of an enhanced elite monster, its attributes were far superior to ordinary monsters, boasting both high offense and defense. Level 14 Knight-class users, with attributes ranging from 300 to 400, stood no chance against it. Ordinary class users couldn't tackle the nightmare rank dungeon without forming a party.

Yet, even with its impressive attributes, the Goblin Mine Guard was no match for Lin Moyu's Skeletal Warriors. Lin Moyu released the Skeletal Warriors from his summon space, quickly filling the room with their eerie forms, then opened the gate officially entering the dungeon.

The Goblin Mine Guard roared with excitement and charged, only to be met by the blades of the Skeletal Warriors. Although it was tall and muscular, far exceeding the height of the Skeletal Warriors, it was slow and lacked intelligence. The skeletons' attacks delivered devastating wounds.

Given its attributes, the Goblin Mine Guard had no chance against even a single Skeletal Warrior, not to mention that it was being besieged by five or six of them. Within just two seconds, the Goblin Mine Guard fell, letting out a final, blood-curdling scream.

[Killed level 14 Goblin Mine Guard, EXP +4,200]

The notification sparked a surge of excitement in Lin Moyu. The EXP gained from the Goblin Mine Guard was ten times greater than what he would receive from monsters of the same level outside the dungeon. Taking down a single monster here was equivalent to defeating ten outside, and it only took a couple of seconds—barely any slower than outside.

Realizing this was an ideal leveling spot, Lin Moyu commanded his Skeletal Warriors to advance into the dungeon’s tunnels. As the skeletons moved through the tunnels with a clattering noise, they sliced through the monsters like an unstoppable army.

[Killed level 14 Goblin Mine Guard, EXP +4,200]

[Obtained bone x5]

[Killed level 14 Goblin Mine Guard, EXP +4,200]

[Obtain leather x6]

As notifications flooded in, his EXP soared, and materials accumulated rapidly. A detailed map of the dungeon began to form in Lin Moyu's mind. True to its name, the Xihai Mine dungeon was a labyrinth of tunnels extending in different directions, each eventually leading to the dungeon's end. Unlike other parties who would choose a single tunnel to explore, Lin Moyu sent his Skeletal Warriors into every nook and cranny, killing every monster they encountered.

After just five minutes, a light appeared around him—he had leveled up.

"Level 11 at last."

After leveling up, his spirit force was fully restored. Lin Moyu quickly summoned four more Skeletal Warriors, increasing their total number to 56.

[Name: Lin Moyu]

[Class: Necromancer (unique)]

[Level: 11 (0.00%)]

[Strength: 120]

[Agility: 120]

[Spirit: 400]

[Physique: 120]

[Equipment: None]

[Summon space: 56/110, Skeletal Warriors (56)]

[Talent: Comprehensive Amplification (level 2, unique)]

[Passive skill: Damage Transfer]

[Active skills: Soul Blaze (level 11), Summon Skeletal Warrior (level 11), Corpse Explosion (level 1)]

[Comprehensive Amplification (level 2): enhances the effects of all skills by 20 times.]

[Damage Transfer: transfers all damage taken by the host to the summons.]

[Soul Blaze (level 11): deals damage to the target's soul. The power depends on spirit force and skill level.]

[Summon Skeletal Warrior (level 11): summons a Bronze Skeletal Warrior.]

[Corpse Explosion (level 1): detonate a corpse and deal 10% of the corpse's health as damage to enemies within a radius of 1 meter.]

Lin Moyu reviewed his attributes, "After reaching level 10, my attribute growth has doubled—strength, agility, and physique now increase by 20 points per level, while spirit force grows by 100 points. As I continue to level up, this growth will keep increasing."

After checking his basic attributes, Lin Moyu grasped this principle clearly. The skills had upgraded once again, including the Summon Skeletal Warrior skill. The four attributes of the Skeletal Warriors were now at 3,400 points. The basic attributes had increased by 20 points each and were further amplified by 20 times, resulting in a total increase of 400 points.

These changes came as no surprise to Lin Moyu. However, the newly acquired Corpse Explosion skill remained at level 1, showing no changes.

"But why?" Lin Moyu wondered. Why did Soul Blaze and Summon Skeletal Warrior were upgraded, but not Corpse Explosion?"

This anomaly puzzled him, exceeding his knowledge. "If Ning Yiyi were here, she might know." He thought, recalling the talkative yet knowledgeable girl. She had much more expertise than he did, and he could have asked her for insights if she were around.

Setting aside his confusion, Lin Moyu pressed on into the dungeon’s depths. The mine was composed of eight tunnels, forming a maze-like structure, that eventually converged. He evenly distributed his Skeletal Warriors across the tunnels, ensuring no monster was left alive.

His EXP increased with each kill, steadily pushing his level upward. Hunting here was far more efficient than outside. By the time he exited a tunnel, all the monsters inside had all been wiped out.

[Level: 11 (32.22%)]

In just over half an hour, he had already filled nearly a third of his EXP bar. This hunting efficiency was astounding.
