Necromancer: I Am A Disaster Chapter 8 - A Spirit Attack That Ignores Defense

Compared to level 1 Skeletal Warrior, the attributes of level 2 Skeletal Warrior increased by 100 points, jumping from 150 to 250. However, Lin Moyu knew the real boost wasn’t as drastic. It was mainly due to his overpowered talent. Without it, level 2 Skeletal Warrior would have only gained 10 points in each attribute, a modest 40-point increase overall—neither extraordinary nor underwhelming.

The key lied in his unique godly talent, perfectly tailored for the Necromancer class.

Lin Moyu continued summoning, raising the number of Skeletal Warriors to seven. These skeletons scattered throughout the novice dungeon, effortlessly slaying monsters. Whether it was level 1, level 2, or even level 3 creatures, they all fell instantly to the Skeletal Warriors' crude blades. The skeletons’ attributes were so impressive that they exhibited immense combat power even without any skills.

"With 250 points in strength, they should rival level 10 Warriors."

With the equivalent combat power of level 10 Warriors, the novice dungeon became a breeze for Lin Moyu's level 2 Skeletal Warriors. And seven was just the beginning. He planned to summon even more Skeletal Warriors once his spirit was restored.

[Killed level 2 Gray Cat, EXP +20]

[Killed level 3 Brown Dog, EXP +30]

[Killed level 4 Blue Eyes Rat King, EXP +40]

Monsters were obliterated in an instant as the Skeletal Warriors carved their way through. Level 3 and 4 monsters didn’t stand a chance against the skeletons’ level 10 combat power, dying without suffering much.

Lin Moyu followed his Skeletal Warriors. As Skeletal Warriors advanced, a map of the dungeon formed in his mind, "Oh, they still have such a function?"

Surprisingly, the paths the skeletons took automatically filled in the map. In addition to slaughtering monsters, the Skeletal Warriors doubled as automated map renderers.

In just one hour, Lin Moyu's EXP bar was nearly full, bringing him close to another level-up. He abandoned meditation altogether; with this leveling speed, it wasn’t necessary. He simply waited for his spirit to restore when he leveled up.

The Skeletal Warriors mercilessly cut down any monster in their path. However, Lin Moyu noticed a monster the skeletons had missed—a level 2 Gray Cat lying in the grass.

"What a lucky guy." He mused.

With a thought, a green flame appeared on his palm.

Skill: Soul Blaze!

This was his only offensive skill at the moment. The green flame instantly engulfed the Gray Cat, which let out a miserable cry before twitching twice and collapsing, dead. Amplified tenfold, Soul Blaze left the Gray Cat no chance of survival.

The Gray Cat lay dead, with no visible signs of being burned—just as the skill description stated, Soul Blaze targeted the soul, a spirit-type offensive skill. Lin Moyu was once again amazed. Spirit-type attacks had a unique trait: they bypassed all defenses, whether physical or elemental.

"This hidden class is truly remarkable. Both skills are incredibly powerful. Even without his talent’s boost, the Necromancer class was still no weaker than any other legendary class." Lin Moyu felt confident in his assessment, even if it was subjective.

A beam of light erupted from his body—he had leveled up. His other attributes increased by another 10 points, while his spirit force rose by 20. The skill Summon Skeletal Warrior upgraded to level 3, boosting the Skeletal Warriors' attributes by an additional 10 points each. After the tenfold amplification, their attributes reached a staggering 350 points.

Lin Moyu immediately summoned three more Skeletal Warriors, bringing the total to ten. The ten skeletons swept through the dungeon like a storm.

[Killed level 5 Green Wolf, EXP +50]

…

Level 5 monsters crumbled instantly under the assault of the Skeletal Warriors. Lin Moyu didn’t need to lift a finger; all he had to do was wait for his EXP to accumulate. At this rate, he estimated it would take just two more hours to level up again.

For most people, reaching level 3 on the first day would be a great achievement, but it would only get harder from there. Lu Yun had instructed them to reach level 8 within a week. Level 8 was the threshold for entering an academy, but to gain admission to one of the empire’s top 50 prestigious academies, one needed to reach level 9 or even level 10.

Outside the dungeon, the several school principals chatted and made comparisons over tea.

“I wonder what level this year's kids will reach on the first day.”

“Anyone remember what was the highest record?”

“I think it was level 5. Su Qianxing and last year’s Lin Mohan both reached level 5.”

“This year’s Xia Xue is also a superior class user. She should be able to match that achievement.”

“You can usually gauge their leveling speed over the next few days based on how far they get on the first day.”

“If Xia Xue doesn’t reach level 5 today, it’ll be tough for her to enter Xiajing Academy.”

Lu Yun listened to the conversation and thought to himself, “I wonder what level Lin Moyu will reach. As a hidden class user, his achievements should be impressive.”

After level 5, leveling speed slowed down considerably. The first day referred to here was actually a 12-hour period. Once someone entered the dungeon, a countdown started, and after 12 hours, they were automatically ejected. So, after 12 hours, they would know what level the students have reached.

Suddenly, an overwhelming aura surged into the room.
