Necromancer: I Am A Disaster-Chapter 598: You Have A Soul, Don’t You?
The four Dragons stood at the corners of the arena, encircling Lin Moyu.
Ellie spoke first, “You have passed the four trials and earned our approval. Let me introduce myself properly. I am Ellie, an Ice Dragon.”
Next came the deep rumble of the Green Dragon, “Gravis. Poison Dragon.”
“Gale, the Wind Dragon.”
“Inferno, the Fire Dragon.”
Their introductions were yet another rule of the Dragon King Palace: earn their recognition, and they would reveal their names.
Lin Moyu, however, had no interest in their approval.
His eyes drifted to the colorful creature perched on Gravis’s head, “And this little guy, what exactly is it?”
Gravis froze, “Little guy? Do you even know its level? A mere level 70 human, calling it a little guy?”
His voice brimmed with arrogance, as well as the faint hostility he held toward humans.
Lin Moyu remained calm, “Level doesn’t always equal strength. If I can kill it, I think ‘little guy’ is appropriate.”
Gravis expelled a poisonous mist, looking ferocious, “Kill it? Don’t get cocky just because you exploited something outside the dungeon earlier. You don’t understand how terrifying it truly is.”
“It’ll be part of the fifth trial?” Lin Moyu asked directly.
He had only briefly tested the creature outside and didn’t know what it was, but killing it didn’t seem that hard.
“Of course.” Gravis replied.
“Alright.” Lin Moyu said, “Then at least tell me its name.”
Inferno growled irritably, “Enough chatter! Start the trial already. I need sleep.”
Ellie giggled, “It’s called a Rainbow Beast. Level 85. And Gravis’s friend.”
Gravis snorted but said nothing further—for Ellie’s sake.
Ellie continued gently, “I’ll explain the fifth trial’s rules.
“We will attack you together, with our strength capped below level 80.”
“Last five minutes under our assault, and you pass.”
“If you can’t endure, simply surrender. We’ll stop immediately.”
“Given your earlier performance, I believe you can pass.”
“I can fight back, right?” Lin Moyu asked.
Gravis sneered, “Fight back? You can kill us if you can. If you have the ability.”
Lin Moyu smiled, “Good. One more question—”
“Enough questions!” Gravis roared, “Ask after the trial, if you pass.”
Fair enough.
Limiting their power below level 80 meant their maximum was level 79.
Across all races, level 80 was a major threshold, marking huge attribute gains and new skills.
A peak-level level 80 human class user could defeat dozens of top-level level 79 opponents.
The gap was that absurd.
So their limitation made sense, offering the test taker a chance.
But they had made a single miscalculation: they had no idea what Lin Moyu was truly capable of.
Ellie said, “The trial begins in ten seconds. It will last five minutes. If you can’t continue, don’t force yourself. Just speak.”
“Thank you.” Lin Moyu answered, feeling that her sincerity was genuine.
He cast Bone Armor.
At the five-second mark, the arena suddenly shimmered.
A translucent barrier rose from the ground, shooting upward and piercing the clouds, forming an enclosure hundreds of meters tall.
Lin Moyu felt his body lighten, “The flight restriction is gone.”
The suppressive law vanished. Flight was permitted.
He summoned his Lightning Deathwings, lifting off the ground.
In that moment, he understood many things.
The fifth trial was three-dimensional. He didn’t have to stand still, he could evade.
The arena was massive, over a kilometer wide with more than 500 meters of vertical space.
As Lin Moyu hovered upward, the four Dragons lifted off as well, encircling him.
Gravis snorted, “Human brat, you’d better dodge fast, or I’ll crush you with one claw.”
In their eyes, Lin Moyu's choice was perfectly rational.
Enduring five minutes essentially meant running for five minutes.
As for fighting back? Pure delusion.
The countdown ended.
The Dragons inhaled, preparing to unleash their Dragon Breaths.
And then they froze.
“What the—?!”
“He’s a Summoner?!”
A tidal wave of Headless Knights materialized midair without warning, each one wreathed in silver-white flame.
Lin Moyu release 4,000 Headless Knights. 1,000 for each Dragon, perfectly fair.
In a state where the Dragons could exert only level 79 power, the Headless Knights were more than enough.
The Rainbow Beast shifted forms continuously, as if trying to speak, yet it lacked a voice and produced no sound.
Its attempts at communication were ignored by the Dragons.
Meanwhile, the Headless Knights had already turned into streaks of light and charged forward.
Skill: Charge!
At close range, they practically collided with the Dragons instantly, swords flashing like lightning as they hacked away.
Metallic clashes rang out in rapid succession.
The Dragons were beings that exceeded the God-level, their defense incredibly formidable.
Even with their power suppressed, their defense remained at the God-level.
The Headless Knights couldn’t harm them.
But the Dragons, limited by the rules of the dungeons, couldn’t shake off the Knights either.
And that was exactly what Lin Moyu wanted: surround them, stall them, and hold out for five minutes.
These Dragons bore him no ill will, so there was no need to harm them.
“These guys are insanely tough!”
Gravis, the Green Dragon, shouted as he spewed a Poison Dragon Breath.
But with the Lich Generals supporting them, the level 79 Poison Dragon Breath did nothing to the Headless Knights.
Gravis beat his wings hard, swatting away the Headless Knights with his massive claws.
But they were simply too many. Every group pushed aside was instantly replaced by another.
No matter how he struggled, he couldn’t break through their encirclement.
If they were outside, he would have room to maneuver, but the trial arena’s space was limited.
The other Dragons were in similar predicaments.
Ellie radiated blue light as a freezing chill surged out, yet the Headless Knights’ Immunity skill made them immune to negative effects.
The Wind Dragon fared only slightly better. A whirlwind surrounded him, pushing the Headless Knights back with sheer force.
He forced open a path, but just as he flew through it, the Headless Knights slammed into him again with Charge.
The impacts were powerful enough to knock even a Dragon off balance, and in an instant, he was surrounded once more.
The Green Dragon roared in frustration, “Damn it! Where do all these summons come from?!”
“If it weren’t for these restrictions, I’d blow them apart with a single breath!”
But no matter how loudly he complained, he still couldn’t break free.
Lin Moyu stood motionless in the air.
He didn’t need to act. This trial was no different from the last, offering him no pressure at all.
Then, a streak of light shot toward him.
The Rainbow Beast, relying on its small size, had slipped through the chaotic battlefield.
“So, you finally can’t hold back anymore.”
Although Lin Moyu had the Headless Knights entangle the four Dragons, part of his attention had always been on the Rainbow Beast.
This trial was one against five: four Dragons plus the Rainbow Beast.
The Rainbow Beast shot toward him, its body opening wide as if to swallow him whole.
This was likely its method of attack: drag the target into its isolated space and eliminate them inside.
“You have a soul, don’t you?”
Lin Moyu didn’t move. Instead, he asked a question that seemed unrelated.
Skill: Undead Gaze!
The sky instantly darkened; night descended.
The phantom undead world erupted into existence, death aura spreading outward.
A fiery gate appeared within the undead world, silver-white flames stark against the pitch-black void.
“What now…?”
The Dragons stared in confusion.
They knew it was Lin Moyu’s skill, but none of them understood what kind of skill could cause such a commotion.
The Undead Eye emerged from the fiery gate.
The Rainbow Beast’s expanded body collapsed with a bang, shrinking back to the size of a head.
With a sharp whoosh, it fled and landed atop the Green Dragon’s head.
A single glance from the Undead Eye had inflicted heavy damage on its soul.
Even a God-level being would feel pain under Undead Gaze, let alone a level 85 creature.
