Necromancer: I Am A Disaster Chapter 9 - Accelerated Leveling

Lu Yun gestured for the visitor to sit, "Patriarch Xia, please, join us."

Xia Dongyang, patriarch of Xihai City's Xia Family and father of Xia Xue, took a seat without hesitation. His presence was imposing.

"Hello, everyone." He greeted, nodding to the group.

Lu Yun poured him a cup of tea, then asked, "Patriarch Xia, are you here to see Xia Xue?".

Xia Dongyang smiled, "Principal Yun, thank you for looking after Xue these past few years."

Lu Yun waved off the thanks, "It was nothing. Xia Xue is bright. She also performed exceptionally well during the class awakening."

Xia Dongyang nodded, "Yes, I heard from my family. I just returned to Xihai City today. Unfortunately, I missed the awakening ceremony."

Lu Yun knew that Xia Dongyang's busy schedule kept him away from home frequently.

"We were just discussing whether Xia Xue can reach level 5 within the 12 hours. She’s aiming for Xiajing Academy, which is no small task."

"It shouldn’t be a problem." Xia Dongyang replied confidently, "But even if she falls short, I can always pull some strings."

Lu Yun shook his head, "I wouldn’t recommend that. I know Xia Xue—if you intervene, she’ll resent it."

Xia Dongyang sighed, knowing Lu Yun was right.

Changing the subject, Xia Dongyang said, "I heard your school produced a hidden class during the awakening ceremony. Congratulations. What class is it?"

Lu Yun’s face lit up, "It's called Necromancer—a class never seen before. It can summon skeletons. Whether it's powerful or not remains to be seen."

Not all hidden classes were powerful; some had even been disappointing. The idea of summoning skeletons sounded eerie, and the name 'Necromancer' had an unsettling ring to it. Dealing with the dead could easily make one’s imagination run wild.

Seeing Xia Dongyang’s hesitation, Lu Yun reassured him, "Don’t worry. Although Moyu doesn’t speak much, he’s a good child. His sister was admitted to Xiajing Academy last year. If Xia Xue gets in, perhaps Lin Mohan can look out for her."

Xia Dongyang relaxed, trusting Lu Yun’s judgment after years of knowing him.

…

Meanwhile, in the novice dungeon, Lin Moyu received a message from a Skeletal Warrior.

[Reached maximum range. Cannot proceed further]

The furthest Skeletal Warrior was now 500 meters away from Lin Moyu, which constituted the limit of their range, and stopped moving. As the other Skeletal Warriors neared the same boundary, Lin Moyu had no choice but to order them to return.

Unable to relax and kick off his shoes, Lin Moyu chose a direction and ventured deeper into the dungeon. The 10 Skeletal Warriors fanned out ahead, maintaining a distance of about 100 meters from him. Any monster that crossed their path was swiftly eliminated.

Four hours into the dungeon, Lin Moyu leveled up for the third time.

[Name: Lin Moyu]

[Class: Necromancer (unique)]

[Level: 4 (0.00%)]

[Strength: 40]

[Agility: 40]

[Spirit: 80]

[Physique: 40]

[Equipment: none]

[Summon space: 10/40, Skeletal Warriors (10)]

[Talent: Comprehensive Amplification (level 1, unique)]

[Passive skills: Damage Transfer]

[Active Skill: Soul Blaze (Level 4), Summon Skeletal Warrior (Level 4)]

After leveling up, Lin Moyu summoned more Skeletal Warriors. Each summon now consumed 25 spirit points. In just four hours, he had reached level 4, and as the number of Skeletal Warriors increased, his leveling speed only accelerated.

Lin Moyu led his skeleton army into the second half of the novice dungeon, where level 5 and level 6 monsters began to appear. However, with the Skeletal Warriors' strength attribute reaching 450 points, the monsters were cut down effortlessly.

[Killed level 5 Green Wolf, EXP +50]

[Killed level 6 Black Panther, EXP +60]

For Lin Moyu, killing level 6 monsters was no different from killing level 1 monsters. As such, the higher the level and density of monsters, the better. The faster his EXP accumulated. He summoned three more Skeletal Warriors, bringing the total to 13, and they tore through the dungeon.

"At this rate, I can level up in less than an hour." Lin Moyu calculated, "I might even reach level 8 within the first 12 hours of the novice dungeon. That's twice as fast as I expected. Once I reach level 8, I can head to the outskirts of Xihai City, where the monsters are even stronger."

Lin Moyu had already mapped out his leveling path in his mind. To go to the outskirts of Xihai City, he would need the school's approval; otherwise, the city guards wouldn’t let him out. Level 8 was the minimum requirement.

[Killed level 7 Brown Bear, EXP +70]

As Lin Moyu ventured deeper, level 7 monsters began to appear, but they too were quickly dispatched. The novice dungeon, designed for beginners, featured monsters of low strength and a simple environment, making it much safer than the wilderness.

Despite his dominance, Lin Moyu remained vigilant. He remembered how Lin Mohan had returned from the outskirts of Xihai City, bloodied and injured. She had sternly warned him to never let his guard down, no matter how weak the opponent.

Lin Moyu took that advice to heart, and now, he was following it diligently.
