Necromancer: I Am A Disaster-Chapter 617: All Means Unleashed; Thunderstorm Battle

Lin Moyu reached level 73. It had taken him less than half a day to rise from level 72 to 73.

He believed that even his sister, Lin Mohan, with her leveling talent, couldn't match this speed.

Lin Moyu lacked her talent, but as long as he killed fast enough, he could make up the difference.

His gaze swept over the vast Lightning Tree forest, and he murmured, “Where others die, I thrive.”

What was deadly ground for others was, for Lin Moyu, the ultimate leveling zone.

Its efficiency far surpassed any dungeon or secret realm.

Unfortunately, it could only be cleared once, and its refresh period was far too long.

In terms of sustainability, it couldn’t compete with dungeons.

Even so, the Wind–Lightning Continent had more than just the Lightning Mountain Range.

Smaller Lightning Tree forests dotted the landscape, and above, Wind Flowers clusters of hundreds of thousands drifted.

All of them could become his grinding targets.

By his estimate, clearing all the Wind Flowers and Lightning Trees could push him to level 76 or even level 77.

The materials dropped along the way were useless to him, but they would be valuable to the human race.

The three Skeletal Kings unleashed two skills and instantly cleared three sections.

Every ordinary Lightning Tree in those sections was annihilated, leaving only a few boss rank Lightning Trees standing. And they were quickly cut down by bone swords.

Then the Skeletal Kings charged into the next sections, enduring the unending lightning while waiting for their skills’ cooldown to pass.

The Headless Knights plunged into the forest as well, engaging the Lightning Trees in fierce combat.

Huge swaths of Lightning Trees were carved apart and uprooted entirely.

From above, Lin Moyu watched everything clearly.

There were only three Skeletal Kings, but each possessed monstrous power.

Every swing of their swords released a 100-meter arc of sword qi, felling 100 trees in a single sweep, roots and all.

By comparison, although the Headless Knights were far more numerous, their efficiency lagged behind.

Moreover, the Skeletal Kings could unleash their skills once every minute, dealing massive damage, making their efficiency surpass that of the Headless Knights.

But the Lightning Tree forest was enormous, with numerous bosses hidden within.

Lightning raged everywhere, and the constant accumulated damage was too much. Even the Lich Generals, healing at full strength, couldn’t keep up.

Relying solely on the undead army would not be enough to clear the Lightning Tree forest.

Lin Moyu had expected this from the beginning, so he never intended to remain idle.

He pointed to the sky, and the heavens darkened instantly.

A phantom undead world manifested in midair.

The undead gate opened, and from within the flames emerged the Undead Eye.

It scanned the forest, and Lightning Trees died in swaths.

Though they appeared intact and unwounded, their souls had been wiped out.

They were dead in the truest sense.

Next, Lin Moyu pointed downward and cast Deterioration Curse.

Against world rank bosses or God-level experts, the curse’s effect was minimal.

But against mobs, it was a powerful tool.

Within a radius of 10,000 meters, the Lightning Trees were bathed in the red tint of the curse, glowing amidst the lightning and white fire.

Under the shadow of the phantom undead world, the red glow was strangely beautiful. 𝒻𝑟𝘦𝘦𝘸ℯ𝒷𝑛𝘰𝓋ℯ𝘭.𝘤𝘰𝘮

Lin Moyu locked onto the corpse of a Lightning Tree whose soul had been obliterated.

Then he pushed his soul force outward, locking onto a massive area with over 10,000 Lightning Trees.

At 10,000, he felt his soul strain. Maintaining control was difficult.

“So 10,000 is the limit.” He realized.

With his current soul force, that was the maximum number of targets he could lock at once.

But 10,000 was enough.

He pressed his palm downward.

Skill: Corpse Explosion.

Without any warning, the chosen Lightning Tree corpse detonated.

Then every Lightning Tree marked by his soul force exploded simultaneously.

There were no flames, only blinding bursts of light.

10,000 Lightning Trees were blasted apart, the shockwave sweeping outward and bending the surrounding Light Trees.

Only after several seconds did the roar of the explosions arrive, a continuous barrage like endless firecrackers.

None of the Lightning Trees locked by spirit force survived.

All 10,000 were obliterated instantly, leaving only the boss rank Lightning Tree standing.

And the explosions didn’t stop there; every tree that died near the boss became a weapon for Lin Moyu.

Crisp explosions rang out one after another.

After more than a dozen blasts, even the leader of the 10,000 trees could no longer hold on.

Lightning Trees had one key weakness: they couldn’t move. They were perfect targets.

Lin Moyu’s bombardment drew the attention of countless Lightning Trees, and a massive wave of lightning descended on him.

But he was completely immune to the lightning element. Calm and steady, he let the bolts crash against him without concern.

He even wished all the Lightning Trees would focus solely on him, lifting the pressure on his undead army.

The Skeletal Kings’ cooldowns ended, and they unleashed their two skills once more, wiping out huge clusters of Lightning Trees.

Undead army, Undead Gaze, Corpse Explosion, under this triple assault, more than 100,000 Lightning Trees fell within minutes.

The Lightning Tree forest had likely never suffered such staggering losses. The entire Lightning Mountain Range was alerted; even those beyond the hill stirred.

Though they could not move, they shot lightning into the air.

The bolts of lightning converged, forming a massive thunderball.

Then, the bosses across the various sections unleashed their power, transforming the thunderball into a roaring thunderstorm.

The thunderstorm crashed down. Countless bolts intertwined, engulfing Lin Moyu and the undead army.

This combined strike, infused with the power of who-knew-how-many Lightning Trees, dealt devastating damage.

The Skeletal Kings activated Absolute Defense, blocking 99% of the damage.

The Headless Knights joined in and unleashed Group Defense, pushing their defenses to the limit.

Undead Gaze’s gate shattered under the thunderstorm’s impact.

Only Lin Moyu remained untouched.

He pressed forward, unleashing Corpse Explosion again and again.

After integrating the Corpse Explosion’s skill star core into his soul, he no longer needed proximity to cast it.

Once a target was locked onto by his soul, the explosion bypassed space and struck directly.

The range increased, the number of targets multiplied, though each blast was slightly weaker.

Still, the skill became far more flexible and controllable.

Lin Moyu had already mastered its use after a few tries.

Ignoring the storm of lightning, he moved freely through the chaos.

Explosions erupted wherever he passed, Lightning Trees dying in great swaths.

The number of trees he destroyed alone surpassed the combined total of the undead army and the Undead Gaze.

Hatred toward him surged; he had become the Lightning Trees’ greatest enemy.

But they were helpless against him. No matter how violently the lightning struck, it had no effect whatsoever.

Lin Moyu’s Lightning Elemental Immunity was on full display.

At this moment, he had become a true Lightning Tree slayer, flattening everything in his path.

Realizing the thunderstorm was useless against him, the Lightning Trees stopped targeting Lin Moyu and instead redirected their fury toward the undead army.

Then, dozens of Lightning Tree bosses rose from the earth, tearing their roots free with a rumble.

Roots whipped through the air like lashes, all aiming for Lin Moyu.

But he had expected this. There was no way the mighty Lightning Tree forest would rely solely on lightning.

Using roots as lashes was a common tactic for plant-type monsters. Even the rootless Wind Flowers used it, let alone Lightning Trees anchored in the ground.

Lin Moyu instantly retreated; he had no intention of getting struck.

The lashes were dangerous, but the true threat was binding. Once the roots entangled someone, escape was nearly impossible.

Even as he moved back, his soul remained locked onto them, and he unleashed Corpse Explosion again and again.

Continuous blasts tore branches apart and split trunks open, yet the enraged Lightning Tree bosses still charged forward at high speed.

There were too many of them. Their numbers quickly surpassed twenty, surrounding Lin Moyu from every direction.

Each was tens of meters tall, and together, with their sprawling roots, they blanketed more than a thousand meters, giving him nowhere left to dodge.

A burst of fire lit Lin Moyu’s hand, and a drop of Solidified Fire God’s Blood Essence detonated.

In an instant, all nearby Lightning Tree bosses let out agonized shrieks as raging flames engulfed their bodies.

These were level 80-plus bosses, so none could withstand the might of the Fire God.

They were burned to ashes within seconds.

A cascade of notifications rang out as Lin Moyu’s EXP skyrocketed.

He had just leveled up, yet his EXP had already surged back to 25%.

Only now did he realize how much EXP the Lightning Trees provided.

There were simply too many bosses. If he cleared all of them, not only would he reach level 74, he might hit level 75 or higher.

The thunderstorm descended once more, and the undead army finally collapsed within the raging lightning.

The Skeletal Kings were blasted apart, and the Headless Knights were swallowed by the overwhelming lightning.
