Necromancer: I Am A Disaster Chapter 471 - The Terror Of The Wind Petals

Lin Moyu noted the direction and allowed the Dragonkind warships to depart.

He continued alone toward the Lightning Burial Canyon.

Antares had warned that entering the canyon beyond level 80 was unwise.

Lin Moyu had reason to believe that the lower your level when entering the canyon, the better.

He excelled at piecing together fragmented clues to reveal hidden truths.

In a flash, he soared across the mountain range.

From above, it stretched for over a thousand kilometers, like a colossal dragon coiled across the land.

Lightning Trees blanketed the terrain, some ancient, some newly grown.

Disturbing even one could rouse the wrath of the entire group.

As he was crossing the mountain range, a blinding bolt of lightning crashed down, illuminating the mountains in a brilliant flash.

A terrifying aura surged forth, sending chills down Lin Moyu’s spine.

For a heartbeat, it felt as if a God-level being had descended.

The presence eclipsed even that of the fake God-level Angel Holy Spirit.

But Lin Moyu knew it wasn’t the presence of a real God-level being.

More likely, it was a level 89 being. Although not God-level, but within the mountain range, it could channel the collective might of countless Lightning Trees.

Even if it was a real God-level powerhouse, they might not come out on top here.

As for fake God-level, they’d stand no chance at all.

“No wonder no one dares to harvest these Lightning Trees.” Lin Moyu murmured.

Only after crossing the mountain range did Lin Moyu finally breathe a quiet sigh of relief.

He had worried the Lightning Trees might target him, a nightmare scenario.

Fortunately, he passed through safely.

The thunder gradually faded behind him, the flashes of lightning now distant.

Ahead, the skies were calm. No more lightning fell.

The Wind-Lightning Continent was a land of mountains, lakes, and canyons, its landscape a constant blend of these three. Rolling, rugged, with few plains.

Suddenly, a gust of wind swept past, and countless petals appeared ahead.

They twirled and danced freely, carried by wind that hadn’t existed moments earlier.

It was the Wind Petals, the second type of plant-type monster found in this continent.

Unlike typical flora, Wind Petals didn’t grow from the ground. They drifted through the air, fluttering with the wind, elusive and unpredictable.

According to the data, aside from the Lightning Tree zones, Wind Petals could appear anywhere, at any time.

Worse still, unlike Lightning Trees, which only attacked when provoked, Wind Petals attacked unprovoked.

Despite his caution, Lin Moyu ran headlong into a swarm.

There had been no sign, no warning, only a sudden encounter.

They were blindingly fast, far quicker than him, and eerily quiet.

By the time Lin Moyu noticed their presence, it was already too late.

A powerful wind howled as a torrent of petals surged toward him.

Simultaneously, a sweet floral scent began to spread through the air.

As plant-type monsters, Wind Petals were also prized concoction ingredients.

And when they attacked, the petals released a fragrance that induced hallucinations and disorientation.

However, the hallucination-inducing scent had no effect on Lin Moyu.

The fierce wind conjured by the Wind Petals slammed into him, but his Bone Armor flared with a white glow, deflecting the attack.

Lin Moyu lifted his finger, and a glimmer of white light rose from his fingertip.

You couldn’t afford to provoke the Lightning Trees, but the Wind Petals were a different story.

According to the information from Feng Yiming, Wind Petals typically traveled in small groups. And unless the group was large, it wouldn’t have a boss.

Compared to Lightning Trees, Wind Petals were far easier to manage.

Skill: Bone Fangs!

It had been some time since Lin Moyu used the skill.

At level 52, Bone Fangs summoned 3,120 fangs, covering a wide area.

The petals responded instantly. They split and darted aside, moving so fast it looked like they’d teleported.

Every single fang missed.

Lin Moyu was stunned, “Their speed is unreal…”

He launched several more attacks, but the outcome didn’t change. The Bone Fangs simply failed to connect.

He had known Wind Petals were fast, but not this fast.

He activated Detection.

[Wind Petal]

[Level: 72]

[Strength: 100,000]

[Agility: 300,000]

[Spirit: 150,000]

[Physique: 180,000]

[Skill: Hallucinogenic Fragrance, Hurricane, Pollen Explosion]

[Trait: 70% Wind Elemental Immunity, Extreme Speed Enhancement]

The total attributes of a Wind Petal amounted to only 730,000.

But with 300,000 poured into agility, their speed far surpassed most monsters at the same level.

Coupled with their wind elemental attribute and Extreme Speed Enhancement trait, it was no wonder they were so fast.

Lin Moyu faced over a hundred Wind Petals, so using Soul Blaze would be wildly inefficient.

“Then I’ll just have to slow you down.”

He raised a finger, and red light erupted across the sky.

With no Lightning Trees on the ground, he no longer needed to hold back.

The moment the curse took effect, the Wind Petals slowed visibly.

A smile tugged at Lin Moyu’s lips. This curse was devastatingly effective against ordinary monsters.

Now, the Wind Petals drifted as if in slow motion.

At this point, let alone Lin Moyu, even level 20 class users could strike them with ease.

But his smile faded just as quickly as it came.

In the next instant, the sky was filled with countless tiny red swords, more than ten thousand.

And it wasn’t just in the air. They were on the ground too

The clouds above parted, revealing a vast swarm of Wind Petals hiding in the sky.

They had been hiding behind the clouds, as well as lying in wait in the grass below.

Lin Moyu’s curse had a three-dimensional area of effect, covering a staggering 12,600 meters.

Countless Wind Petals were enveloped by the curse, far too many for Lin Moyu to count

If these had been merely ordinary Wind Petals, it wouldn’t have mattered, no matter how many there were.

Among the swarming petals, several stood out, unusual in form, radiating powerful auras.

They weren’t ordinary monsters. These were clearly lord rank bosses.

Then, from above, a single colossal Wind Petal began its slow descent, its massive petal stretching over a hundred meters.

It was, without a doubt, a world rank boss.

Lin Moyu instantly felt it lock onto him.

The winds surged, a devastating attack imminent.

“Crap!”

Without hesitation, Lin Moyu took out a Random Teleportation Scroll and activated it.

A flash of light enveloped him, then he was gone.

The violent winds blasted through the space he had just occupied.

The swarm of Wind Petals paused in confusion, unsure of what had just occurred.

Hundreds of kilometers away, Lin Moyu reappeared.

“That was close.” He muttered.

He had never expected to encounter that many Wind Petals.

Now he understood why the records warned that Wind Petals were even more dangerous than Lightning Trees.

Lightning Trees were visible and stationary. As long as you didn’t provoke them, they wouldn't attack.

But Wind Petals? They were hidden. And they could strike from anywhere, at any moment.

He had underestimated their numbers, until he fought back. Then it became clear that they were everywhere.

Had he hesitated for even a second longer, escape would have been difficult.

If the world rank boss had engaged him, the Teleportation Scroll would likely have failed.

It wasn’t that he couldn’t win, but it would have come at a steep cost.

Right now, his top priority remained the Lightning Burial Canyon. Everything else could wait.

Only after that would he allow himself to engage in a true battle.

And by then, even if the sky fell or the earth crumbled, it wouldn’t matter.

If things truly went south, he could always teleport directly into the Abyss.

Lin Moyu took out his map and checked his bearings.

He was now slightly farther from Lightning Burial Canyon than before.

With a quick adjustment to his route, he set off again.

This time, he flew lower and stayed more alert, determined to avoid another encounter with the elusive Wind Petals.

The journey went smoothly. Over the next half hour, he traveled more than a thousand kilometers without running into any more Wind Petals.

He did spot several Lightning Trees along the way, but they were small clusters of relatively young trees, only struck a few times by lightning.

At best, they were platinum-grade materials.

Lin Moyu didn’t bother with them and flew past without pause.

Before long, he arrived at a canyon.

Above it, fierce winds howled.

Whirlwinds churned in the air, their violent spirals tossing massive boulders about.

“According to the map, this is the Whirlwind Canyon.” He muttered.

“On either side of the canyon looms an even greater threat, the Lightning Pools. To go around them would mean a detour of more than 5,000 kilometers.

“Not only would that waste time, but the longer path came with its own set of dangers. Relatively speaking, cutting through the Whirlwind Canyon is the best option.”

He surveyed the landscape, weighing the risks.

To either side of the canyon, flickers of lightning danced in the sky, illuminating the dark clouds.

Those were the Lightning Pools, just as marked on the map.

They curved like crescent moons, with the Whirlwind Canyon slicing through them like a sword.

The map made it clear, there were two world rank bosses residing within the Lightning Pools, both at level 85. Engaging one would inevitably draw the other.

After carefully weighing his options, Lin Moyu made his decision. He would pass through the Whirlwind Canyon.

He cast Bone Armor, its white glow wrapping tightly around him.

With a soft flutter of his Lightning Deathwings, he launched himself into the canyon.

At that same moment, elsewhere on the Wind-Lightning Continent, a spatial passage tore open, and a group of Demons spilled out.

Mina paused, then pointed toward the Whirlwind Canyon and said, “I’ve sensed him. He’s in that direction.”
