Necromancer: I Am A Disaster Chapter 37 - What A Weird Guy, But Kind Of Cute

For the second time, she had witnessed such a scene—even the boss was defeated in an instant. Xia Xue felt completely numb.

She couldn't help but suspect that the Goblin King was somehow Lin Moyu's minion, voluntarily offering its neck just to give him free EXP. When she saw the telltale glow of a level-up surround Lin Moyu, she couldn't contain her surprise, "Did you level up again? Already level 15?"

Lin Moyu nodded. He had indeed reached level 15.

Xia Xue frowned. She was still 30% away from reaching level 13. The gap between them had grown wider again, and it was driving her crazy. She just couldn't accept it.

[Killed Goblin King, EXP +25,000]

[Obtained Goblin King's Sword]

[Obtained elementary monster core]

Xia Xue sighed as she read the notifications, "Too bad the stave didn’t drop."

"Do you want the stave?" Lin Moyu asked calmly.

Xia Xue made a small sound of affirmation, "The Goblin King's Stave is a great weapon for Mages below level 20. I could buy it at the trade office, but I don’t want to ask my dad for money."

Suddenly, a shadow flew toward her. Instinctively, Xia Xue reached out and caught it.

[Goblin King's Stave]

It was the very stave she had wanted.

"Here, take it." Lin Moyu said nonchalantly, as if it were nothing.

Xia Xue stood there, stunned for a moment before managing to say, "Thank you." Then doubt clouded her face, "Why don't you use it yourself?"

Lin Moyu casually pulled out the Goblin King's Magic Book and replied, "I'm using this instead."

Although both magic books and staves were Mage-type weapons, but most Mages tended to favor staves. After all, staves were not only powerful but also versatile—they could be used as melee weapons for both offense and defense. Magic books, on the other hand, lacked that function, making staves generally more practical.

This was a conclusion widely accepted among Mages. So Xia Xue couldn’t help but feel puzzled, "But staves are more practical than magic books."

Lin Moyu shook his head, "I just don’t like staves."

Xia Xue was left speechless. So that was why, she thought.

Besides, she hadn’t even seen Lin Moyu actually use the magic book, She reasoned in her mind, "Maybe the magic book offers only a small boost, and he just doesn't care about it."

Unaware of Xia Xue’s silent musings, Lin Moyu calmly checked the changes to his attributes.

[Name: Lin Moyu]

[Class: Necromancer (unique)]

[Level: 15 (8.00%)]

[Strength: 200]

[Agility: 200]

[Spirit: 800 (+20)]

[Physique: 200 (+20)]

[Equipment: Goblin King's Magic Book, Robe of Knowledge]

[Summon space: 84/150, Skeletal Warrior (84)]

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

[Passive skill: Damage Transfer]

[Active skills: Soul Blaze (level 15), Summon Skeletal Warrior (level 15), 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 15): deals damage to the target's soul. The power depends on spirit force and skill level.]

[Summon Skeletal Warrior (level 15): 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.]

After finally reaching level 15, Lin Moyu knew his chances of entering Xiajing Academy had significantly improved. If he could reach level 16, that would be even better, though he wasn’t too concerned if he couldn’t.

The EXP requirements had increased again after hitting level 15. He initially thought he'd be able to push his EXP to around 12%, but the result was only 8%, likely because he was splitting the EXP with Xia Xue.

Lin Moyu quickly calculated. With Xia Xue's Elementary Cooldown Charm, the two could raid the dungeon three times consecutively. At his pace, the three runs would take about half an hour. Then, factoring in the dungeon’s cooldown, he could squeeze in two more runs.

In total, he could raid the dungeon five more times.

He decided to bring Xia Xue along for the last two runs as well. Since they started together, it would be inconsiderate to leave her behind halfway through.

"A two-person party, five more runs... that should be enough to reach level 16." He thought.

As Lin Moyu glanced at the defeated Goblin King lying on the ground, he muttered softly, "Sorry, but I might have to kill you five more times."

Xia Xue blinked in surprise, "Why are you talking to it? The boss can’t understand you."

Lin Moyu replied calmly, "I just felt like it. Whether it understands me or not doesn’t really matter."

Puzzled, Xia Xue asked, "Then why apologize to it?"

Lin Moyu didn’t answer.

For some reason, Xia Xue thought of how he had apologized to the boss. Strangely, she found this side of him... kind of cute. Apologizing to a dungeon boss was something no one would ever do.

After all, dungeons existed to be raided, and bosses were meant to be hunted. A high-level dungeon boss may be killed countless times, but it was also responsible for countless deaths of class users. There was nothing to apologize for.

"What a weird guy." She thought, then giggled softly. "But kind of cute."

Lin Moyu gave her a strange look, "Let's head out and continue."

"Alright, let’s keep going." Xia Xue agreed, still smiling.
