Necromancer: I Am A Disaster Chapter 55 - Skill Levels Up; I Shall Remember You

Xiajing City, outside the Trial Tower’s main body.

Meng Anwen, the person in charge of the Trial Tower, was working tirelessly to repair the damaged laws of the Battle-Space.

Around him, several people stared at the tower, worry etched deeply into their faces.

The longer the delayed, the more dangerous it became for the examinees trapped inside.

Suddenly, Meng Anwen gasped.

Bai Yiyuan turned sharply, “What is it?”

Meng Anwen narrowed his eyes, “The interference from the Abyss’s power... it's weakened significantly.”

Bai Yiyuan’s face darkened, “Does that mean the examinees are dead?”

Meng Anwen carefully sensed, then shook his head, “No. I can sense many life auras inside—human ones. The Abyssal Demon’s consciousness has grown faint. It’s been injured.”

A mere sliver of the Abyssal Demon’s consciousness had entered the Battle-Space, using the Abyss’s power to disrupt the laws and seal the space off completely.

Yet now, that sliver had weakened.

Could someone inside have harmed it? The examinees were only level 15 or 16.

Bai Yiyuan found it hard to believe. In his mind, the best-case scenario was that they used the vast scope of the Battle-Space to fight for their survival—to hold out for an hour until he and the others could mount a rescue.

As for them defeating the Demon? Impossible.

Even though it was just a sliver of its consciousness, it should have been invincible to them.

Inside the Battle-Space, the Ferryn Beastmen abruptly changed course, abandoning their targets to charge directly at Lin Moyu.

The dark figure on the Blood Moon let out a furious roar, “I’ll kill you! I’ll devour your flesh and drink your blood!”

Lin Moyu had become a thorn in the Demon’s side.

The Demon had long forgotten its mission. All rationality was gone. Now, it wanted only to kill Lin Moyu.

The Ferryn Beastmen, infected by the Abyss’s power, surged forward in a frenzy.

But Lin Moyu’s Skeletal Warriors quickly formed a defensive line.

Each of them now possessed 5,000 points in all four attributes—far surpassing others of the same level.

Even though the Ferryn Beastmen had been infected by the Abyss’s power, turning them into enhanced elite monsters, they still couldn't match the Skeletal Warriors in raw attributes.

Under Lin Moyu’s command, over a dozen Skeletal Warriors focused their attacks on a single target.

In mere seconds, one of the Ferryn Beastman Warriors fell.

Boom!

An explosion thundered through the battlefield.

Corpse Explosion was nothing short of a godly skill—Lin Moyu unleashed it again and again.

Suddenly, Lin Moyu noticed a change in the skill.

[Corpse Explosion (level 2): detonate a corpse and deal 15% of the corpse's health as damage to enemies within a radius of 2 meters.]

After it was acquired, the Corpse Explosion skill had remained unchanged. But in that moment, it had leveled up.

The radius expanded from one meter to two. Damage increased from 10% to 15% of the corpse’s health.

On the surface, it was a small change.

But when paired with the Comprehensive Amplification talent…

The result was staggering—300% of a corpse's health as damage across a 40-meter radius.

With just one level-up, the skill had undergone a complete transformation.

"It seems that repeatedly using a skill can increase its level. Aside from the skills gained during the class awakening, do skills acquired through skill scrolls have to be upgraded in this manner? This is quite similar to livelihood- and support-type skills."

Explosions erupted one after another. With its expanded range, Corpse Explosion became even more effective.

In the blink of an eye, not a single Ferryn Beastman remained standing around Lin Moyu.

The dark figure on the Blood Moon had gone silent.

A slight smile crept onto Lin Moyu’s face.

A gentle light enveloped him.

He leveled up.

This sudden surge of light didn’t go unnoticed.

Only now did the others realize that killing the infected monsters gave EXP.

“He actually used those monsters... to do level grinding?”

“That means he could probably solo a nightmare rank dungeon.”

“This guy’s a monster.”

“Lin Moyu... which province is he from?”

“Thank god he’s here. Without him, we’d all be done for.”

Whispers spread through the crowd, their gazes filled with admiration and awe as they fixed on Lin Moyu.

Lin Moyu looked up—the Blood Moon still remained in the sky, and so did the dark figure.

“It seems it can’t leave.”

Lin Moyu willed, and five Ferryn Beastman corpses were thrown into the air.

Immediately after, a Skeletal Warrior wrapped its bony arms around him and leapt upward.

The dark figure on the Blood Moon seemed to realize its impending doom.

Strangely, it did not roar or scream but instead let out a chilling, eerie laugh.

“Your name is Lin Moyu? I shall remember you. When you come to the Abyss... I will give you a proper welcome.”

Lin Moyu said nothing. He just smiled.

The corpses reached the Blood Moon.

Skill: Corpse Explosion!

A chain of devastating explosions erupted. The dark figure howled one last time before it was torn apart, vanishing in the blasts.

The Blood Moon shattered like glass, vanishing into scattered shards of light.

The Battle-Space subsequently returned to normal.

Outside the Trial Tower, Meng Anwen revealed a look of surprise again, “The sliver of the Abyssal Demon’s consciousness... it’s been destroyed. The Battle-Space is back to normal. There are no casualties. The kids are all safe.”

Bai Yiyuan stood frozen, a stunned expression on his face. This outcome... was beyond anything he had anticipated.

At Bai Yiyuan’s level, very few things could still surprise him. But this... this was one of them.

“Can we review what happened inside?” He asked.

Meng Anwen nodded, “We can.”

Bai Yiyuan’s tone deepened, “Mhm. No need to rush. Let’s get the kids out first—just to be safe.”

“Alright.”

Inside the Battle-Space, the Blood Moon was gone, and the ground returned to normal.

Xia Xue approached and asked in a soft voice, “Dummy Lin… are you okay?”

Her face was pale, her heart still pounding from the ordeal. She knew—without Lin Moyu, she’d probably be dead.

Lin Moyu gave a small nod, “I’m fine.”

That was all she needed to hear. Relief visibly washed over her face.

The other examinees were shaken as well

Just moments ago, they were running from the Ferryn Beastmen had been hunting them, leaving them no choice but to flee helplessly, unable to fight back.

Thankfully, Lin Moyu was there.

Then, White God’s voice rang again, “Everyone, the Abyss’s power has been removed. The Battle-Space has returned to normal. In a moment, you will be returned to your original examination sites. Your results will be announced shortly after.”
