Necromancer: I Am A Disaster Chapter 27 - The Greatest Weakness

Lin Moyu had a clear grasp of the situation.

The biggest vulnerability of the skeletal army, with Lin Moyu at its core, was Lin Moyu himself. A strong enemy could bypass the Skeletal Warriors and target him directly, putting him at risk. Damage Transfer, while powerful, wasn't foolproof. Aware of this flaw, Lin Moyu knew he had to find a way to compensate for it.

The Goblin King's flesh was ripped apart, blood splattering like rain. Towering six or seven meters tall, it was covered in Skeletal Warriors clinging to its shoulders, back, chest, and even head. Suddenly, the Goblin King emitted a brilliant light and leaped into the air, slamming down with a thunderous crash. The impact flung the Skeletal Warriors off its body, even knocking away those on the ground.

Skill: Shock!

The Goblin King's eyes glowed as it opened its maw and unleashed a torrent of flames, scorching the Skeletal Warriors. Lin Moyu watched as the health of four Skeletal Warriors dropped rapidly, leaving them on the brink of death. With a thought, he promptly recalled them into the summon space. The Goblin King continued its fiery assault, keeping the Skeletal Warriors at bay.

"I need to interrupt its skill." As Lin Moyu mused, a fire ignited in his palm

Skill: Soul Blaze!

The fire silently landed on the Goblin King's head, and it let out a blood-curdling scream, interrupting its Flame Spout. Soul Blaze ignored defense, dealing direct spirit damage. Its strength depended on both the skill level and the caster's spirit force.

Although Lin Moyu's spirit force was only 400 and Soul Blaze was level 11, but with his talent's 20-fold amplification, its power was formidable. The Skeletal Warriors quickly regrouped, surrounding the Goblin King and launching a relentless barrage of attacks. Lin Moyu continuously cast Soul Blaze to prevent the Goblin King from using its skills.

After a minute of sustained assault, the Goblin King collapsed to the ground.

[Killed Goblin King, EXP +40,000]

[Obtained Goblin King's Dagger.]

[Obtained Robe of Knowledge.]

[Obtained Goblin King's core.]

As the notifications popped up, a glow enveloped Lin Moyu—he had finally reached level 12. It had been over an hour since he entered the nightmare rank dungeon, yet he had leveled up more than once. His leveling was remarkably efficient.

Lin Moyu assessed his gains.

[Goblin King's Dagger: bronze rank weapon, strength +10, agility +10, increases the power of Assassin-type skills by 3%, usable after level 12.]

[Robe of Knowledge: bronze rank protective equipment, spirit +10, physique +10, decreases the cooldown of Mage-type skills by 5%, usable after level 12.]

The dagger wasn’t useful for him, so he stashed it away to sell later.

"My class is Necromancer, classified as a Mage-type class, but unlike typical Mages, my skills have no cooldown. So the robe’s cooldown reduction isn’t of use to me. Still, the 10 points in spirit and physique are decent."

It was, after all, just level 12 gear—he couldn’t expect much of it. Accepting its limitations, Lin Moyu donned the Robe of Knowledge, instantly boosting his spirit and physique by 10 points each.

Aside from the equipment, there was the Goblin King's core—larger and more vibrant than the cores of lower-level monsters and warm to the touch. It was ruby-red, clearly rather unusual.

If Lin Moyu took it to the trade office, the core would fetch 100,000 gold coins, which thrilled him. It was worth more than both pieces of equipment combined.

With his recent level-up, Lin Moyu’s spirit force was fully restored. He immediately summoned four more Skeletal Warriors. His Summon Skeletal Warrior skill had been upgraded to level 12, increasing the summoning cost to 110 points of spirit force. Although his spirit force had risen to 510 points, but it still allowed him to summon only four skeletons.

However, the attributes of the Bronze Skeletal Warriors had grown considerably, each reaching 3,800 points, and their numbers now expanded to 60. With such a force, Lin Moyu felt he could dominate the dungeon with ease.

In good spirits, Lin Moyu strode toward the dungeon exit.

All of a sudden, he appeared at the dungeon entrance, immediately attracting everyone’s attention. What truly caught everyone’s eye was the Skeletal Warrior that stood ominously beside him. Its cold, sinister aura and menacing appearance caused the faint-hearted to avert their gaze, too unnerved to look directly at it.

"He actually made it out."

"I didn’t expect him to survive."

"Did he really solo the dungeon?"

"Not many can solo dungeons. The kid looks too green for..."

"Wait a minute—check out his robe. Isn’t that the Robe of Knowledge?"

"It is! Unbelievable!"

"A big shot who can solo dungeons is right here in front of us."

Lin Moyu paid no attention to the crowd's murmurs.

The dungeon had entered a 12-hour cooldown, preventing him from re-entering for now. After clearing it once, he had no interest in hunting wild monsters—they offered too little EXP. Even hunting a dozen wouldn’t compare to a single dungeon monster. Plus, searching for them in the wilderness was a hassle.

The cooldown was perfect for meditation to restore spirit force; it could also be used to reflect on the raid. Lin Moyu found a quiet spot and sat down. His Skeletal Warrior stood nearby, faithfully guarding him.

This dungeon run held special significance to him. It revealed his biggest weakness and helped him refine his skill usage.

Corpse Explosion, when used effectively, was an unmatched group attack. Soul Blaze proved invaluable for interrupting enemy skills; its spirit attack ignored defense and was extremely powerful, and even nightmare rank bosses couldn’t withstand it.

Lin Moyu quietly organized his thoughts, summarizing the key lessons from the raid.
