Necromancer: I Am A Disaster Chapter 468 - The Poison Lich

Corpses soared through the air one after another. They were the former members of the Holy Overseer Church, now repurposed as weapons against the Angel Holy Spirit.

Lin Moyu raised his left hand, using Corpse Explosion to detonate the bodies midair.

In his right hand, he gripped a Solidified Fire God's Blood Essence. Flames flared as he began summoning an Elemental Lich once more.

He knew a single explosion wouldn’t be enough.

The fake God-level Angel Holy Spirit, unlike the Fire Demon King who had been weakened inside a dungeon, wasn’t suppressed and could unleash her full power.

The corpses of level-70-plus class users, enhanced a dozen times by Comprehensive Amplification, became deadly bombs.

The explosions nearly blasted away the Holy Fire protecting the Angel Holy Spirit.

Struck repeatedly, the Angel Holy Spirit was clearly furious.

A massive sword of pure Holy Fire formed in her hand.

“Swords of Inquisition.”

Her voice was soft, but the sky answered with violence. Countless sword projections appeared, raining down on over a thousand Skeletal Berserk Warriors.

In an instant, the Skeletal Berserk Warriors ignited and rapidly melted away.

Lin Moyu knew these skeletal berserkers had already died once.

But thanks to the Undying Ring skill, they had regained half their health.

However, the relentless attacks that followed still drove them back into death.

Not even Lin Moyu’s Comprehensive Link talent could save them. The Angel Holy Spirit’s power tore through his talent, killing the Skeletal Berserk Warriors outright.

Lin Moyu wasn’t surprised. His level and the level of his skills were still too low.

The skeletons’ high attributes were impressive, but they were merely amplified attributes.

Their base health was still lacking, making them vulnerable to instakills from overwhelmingly powerful attacks. And once an instakill occurred, Lin Moyu’s Comprehensive Link talent became useless.

But he had anticipated this. As his level rose, this issue could be resolved naturally.

The Angel Holy Spirit's assault was fearsome. Her Swords of Inquisition had already annihilated over a thousand Skeletal Berserk Warriors.

The battle had barely lasted three or four seconds, yet it had already reached a critical intensity.

She unleashed Swords of Inquisition again. Another thousand skeletons fell.

Flames surged across her body. It was no longer clear whether it was her own Holy Fire or the fire released by the Fire Lich.

Suddenly, another Fire Lich hurled itself toward her.

A deafening explosion tore through the air.

The Angel Holy Spirit shrieked. One of her wings was obliterated, and several sections of her body were shredded by the blast.

The Fire Lich summoned by the Solidified Fire God's Blood Essence possessed fake God-level destructive power, enough to severely wound even her.

Yet Lin Moyu noticed that the detonation didn't benefit from his Enhance Troops skill. If it had, a single blast might have been enough to kill her outright.

Holy Fire surged once more across the Angel Holy Spirit's body.

Within that Holy Fire, the poison from Poison Starburst was burned away, purifying the fire back to a pristine white.

Her wounds began to regenerate rapidly in the blaze.

Water evaporated around her in great clouds. Thick mist rose, blanketing the battlefield and obscuring vision.

“What a tough opponent…” Lin Moyu muttered.

Still, he could sense that despite the healing, despite the cleansing of the poison, her aura had weakened.

Clearly, her power wasn’t limitless. The earlier attacks had taken their toll.

The murderous intent in Lin Moyu’s heart deepened.

A drop of dark green blood surfaced in his palm—Poison God’s Blood Essence.

Now that he had claimed the Poison God’s corpse, the blood essence came with it, still fresh and brimming with power.

Lin Moyu used it to summon an Elemental Lich.

Sinister green light erupted and spread across hundreds of kilometers.

A Poison Elemental Lich, about a meter tall, glowing with eerie green light appeared in front of Lin Moyu, replacing the Fire Lich.

A dark green ring of light materialized beneath the feet of every skeleton.

[Poison Ring: grants all undead troops the Poison Ring, dealing 10 points of strength as damage to all enemies within a 1,000-meter radius. This effect can stack infinitely.]

At first glance, the effect seemed underwhelming. Ten points per second? Barely a scratch.

But that final part, can stack infinitely, was what made it terrifying.

Lin Moyu currently commanded 30,720 skeletons. Under this skill, they could deal over 300,000 damage per second to enemies within range.

Class users of equal level wouldn’t survive long in front of this ring of light. As the number of skeletons continued to grow, so would the damage.

To Lin Moyu, the number of enemies had never mattered.

Whether it was through his powerful undead army or the devastating blasts of Corpse Explosion, he never feared being outnumbered.

Now, with Poison Ring...

They could send a sea of weaklings at him. They’d all just die.

Previously, whether it was his skeletons or his skills, their strength largely depended on the Comprehensive Amplification talent.

But this ring of light was different. It operated independently of that talent.

Which meant that even without Comprehensive Amplification, Lin Moyu remained unrivaled among those at his level, and taking on enemies ten levels above him would be an easy endeavor.

The Angelic Holy Spirit, who had only just expelled the poison, turned green all over again.

Lin Moyu stared at the Poison Lich that had materialized before him, and even he felt a chill run down his spine.

It wasn’t that the Poison Lich looked particularly terrifying. In fact, it still seemed a little cute and goofy.

But the power within it…

The chaotic, uncontrollable energy surged violently, far exceeding that of the Fire Lich summoned using Solidified Fire God’s Blood Essence.

“Retreat!” Lin Moyu shouted, pulling back at full speed.

His figure blurred as he moved, and every skeleton under his control instantly fell back in unison.

Yet the Poison Lich appeared before the Angelic Holy Spirit in an instant, almost as if it had teleported.

Two seconds later, it detonated silently.

Unlike the Fire Lich's earth-shattering, flame-filled explosion, the Poison Lich’s self-destruction made no sound at all.

It simply dispersed into a massive cloud of green poisonous gas, expanding outward to cover a ten-kilometer radius.

Seeing the rapidly spreading poison, Lin Moyu's expression shifted drastically. He fled with even greater speed.

The Poison Lich's detonation made no distinction between friend and foe. Lin Moyu had no intention of dying to his own skill.

Thankfully, he reacted quickly enough. He managed to outrun the poison cloud.

A few skeletons, however, weren’t so fortunate. The poison engulfed them, and their bones melted into sludge.

The damage was devastating, so much so that even the Comprehensive Link talent couldn't preserve them.

Lin Moyu felt a lingering chill, “The blood essence of a mid-tier God… is this terrifying.”

Compared to the Fire Lich summoned with Solidified Fire God’s Blood Essence, this Poison Lich was on a completely different level.

Within the vast green cloud, the silence was absolute.

The Angel Holy Spirit’s Holy Fire had vanished from sight beneath the poison gas.

Seconds passed.

[Killed Angel Spirit, EXP +**]

The notification popped up, and Lin Moyu released a long sigh of relief.

slowly, finally releasing the breath he didn’t realize he’d been holding.

The Angel Holy Spirit was dead.

He gained 90 billion EXP.

By EXP alone, the Angel Holy Spirit matched the Fire Demon King, confirming that the latter was indeed one of the weakest among the Demon Kings, merely equivalent to a fake God-level entity.

Perhaps the Fire Demon King had an edge in raw power, but the difference wasn’t large.

Lin Moyu’s EXP surged by 30%, equivalent to killing over 20,000 level 70 monsters.

But the price was steep.

Over 3,000 Skeletal Berserk Warriors had been lost.

Lin Moyu frowned. Even with that much EXP, it felt like a net loss.

“If I get the chance… I’ll make the Holy Overseer Church pay.” He thought to himself.

He didn't care about who was right or wrong. Justice belonged to the one with the bigger fist.

The Human World, the Holy Overseer Church.

An Angel statue began to glow, flooding the hall with radiant light.

Senior figures of the church were instantly alarmed. Dozens of them rushed toward the hall.

They all knew that the Angel Holy Spirit had been summoned by the Crusaders.

And only one method could trigger that summoning: the Holy Church Sacrifice.

They must have encountered an exceptionally powerful enemy. Otherwise, they would never have resorted to such measures.

Orders were immediately issued to investigate who had performed the sacrifice.

The report came back quickly: three people had sacrificed themselves. One of them was Kled.

The moment his name was mentioned, everyone’s expression changed.

Kled was the Holy Son of the Holy Overseer Church—the chosen successor to become the next Pope.

No one had expected something like this to happen to him.

They immediately began preparations for the resurrection ritual.

Kled had a soul brand planted. As long as the soul remained, he could be brought back.

But just as preparations began, the sky cracked open, and a green light descended and struck an Angel statue.

The Angel statue was instantly turned sickly green, then shattered with a deafening crash.

Everyone present turned pale with shock.

The Poison Lich’s poison, following a spatial passage, had descended upon the Holy Overseer Church and destroyed the statue.

Normally, even if the Angel Holy Spirit were slain in battle, she could be summoned again after a period of time, so long as her statue remained intact.

But with the statue destroyed, the Angel Holy Spirit could no longer be summoned.

For the Holy Overseer Church, this was a devastating loss.

In the hall, there stood two Angel statues and one God King statue.

Now, one of the Angels was gone, shattered into pieces.

Rebuilding it would take countless years…
