Chapter 28: Stop Summoning, There’s No Room Left to Stand
Inside the Nightmare Difficulty Skeleton Graveyard,
Lin Yuan stood surrounded by a massive swarm of skeleton soldiers.
“A’gui, stop summoning, damn it. There’s barely any room left to stand.”
The previous battle with the Bone Giant had left a psychological scar on A’gui.
Why had he failed to beat the Bone Giant?
Because there had not been enough bodies.
If two thousand undead could not kill the Bone Giant, then twenty million certainly could.
Even a mouthful of spit from each one would drown it.
And so,
while waiting for the Skeleton Knight’s next assault, every time A’gui’s Mana recovered,
he would cast Undead Summoning.
In less than ten minutes, the undead army had already grown past ten thousand.
All around Lin Yuan stood dense ranks of skeleton soldiers clutching bone sabers,
with the occasional Skeleton Knight mixed in among them.
It was incredibly cramped.
Aside from the area around Ali, which was still somewhat open,
there was almost nowhere else left to put one’s feet.
“Heh-heh-heh-heh!”
A’gui was in the middle of cackling when his skull was suddenly smacked hard.
He turned around
and found Lin Yuan staring fixedly at him with a skeleton soldier’s spine in his hand.
“Gah~~”
A’gui sheepishly lowered his hand and stopped using his summoning skill.
【The Cavalry Legion has arrived】
The cavalry legion under Skeleton Knight Mosa had appeared.
Awkwardly enough, the cavalry were all jammed into the corner and had no room at all to maneuver.
【Skeleton Cavalry】(Second Rank Leader)
【Level: LV17】
【HP: 40000】
【Attack: 500】
【Defense: 200】
【Skill 1 (Charge): Launches a charge at the target, dealing 500 damage and stunning the target for 1 second. Cooldown: 30 seconds. The stun effect only works the first time】
【Skill 2 (Sweep): Swings the long spear, dealing 800 physical damage to targets within a 2-meter range in front. Cooldown: 10 seconds】
The moment the fifty Skeleton Cavalry appeared, they found themselves surrounded by the undead army.
Their Charge skill was utterly useless.
Only Sweep had any real effect.
The fifty Skeleton Cavalry used Sweep together and killed roughly a thousand undead,
but immediately afterward, they were drowned beneath the following waves of undead.
【Killed Skeleton Cavalry (LV17) *50, EXP increased by 10000】
When the Skeleton Cavalry died, they dropped two items.
【Skeleton Horse Bridle - Mount】
【Grade: Bronze】
【Required Riding Level: LV15】
【HP: 30000】
【Attributes: Movement Speed increases by 60%】
The moment Lin Yuan walked over and saw it, his eyes lit up.
“Hey, this is good stuff.”
Mounts were rare goods.
If these two Skeleton Horse Bridles were placed in the auction house, they would absolutely trigger a mad scramble among class-holders.
Even bigshots of the Second Advancement would make a move.
Not for any practical reason—
but purely for style.
Just imagine it. While everyone else was still walking on two legs,
you suddenly summoned a Skeleton Warhorse and mounted it.
Every gaze in the entire area would instantly gather on you.
The feeling would be incredible.
And this was no ordinary warhorse.
It was a skeleton horse.
A genuine rarity.
If Lin Yuan’s level had been high enough,
he would definitely have wanted to see what the Skeleton Horse actually looked like.
【Skeleton Knight Mosa will launch a new round of attacks in 5 minutes. Prepare yourself】
“What a drag. Can’t they just come all at once?”
“I’m in a hurry.”
It was nearly noon already, and he still had to get back for lunch.
...
【Yes / No: Begin the final assault early? If chosen, Skeleton Knight Mosa will move out ahead of schedule】
【This action is extremely dangerous. Please choose with caution!!!】
“Oh? It’s pretty intelligent.”
Lin Yuan was quite pleased and chose Yes on the spot.
As for that “extremely dangerous” warning—
Lin Yuan merely let out a soft laugh.
In terms of numbers, he had over ten thousand, nearly twenty thousand, undead troops beside him.
In terms of raw power, Ali’s absurd burst damage meant that whoever appeared would be the one getting deleted.
Caution?
That did not exist.
【Skeleton Knight Mosa has sensed your provocation. He will lead the cavalry under his command in a final assault】
【Phantom Heavy Cavalry deployed】
The moment the countdown vanished, Lin Yuan felt the world before him darken.
Immediately afterward, he felt the earth begin to tremble.
Thud-thud!
Thud-thud!
The sound of cavalry charging.
“Phantom Legion, assemble!”
A somewhat hoarse voice rang out across the entire space.
The war fog around them gradually dispersed,
and the space before Lin Yuan expanded by more than tenfold.
Hisss~~
A force of three hundred heavy cavalry appeared a thousand meters away in perfect formation.
【Phantom Heavy Cavalry】(Second Rank Leader)
【Level: LV18】
【HP: 60000】
【Attack: 750】
【Defense: 300】
【Skill 1 (Phantom Charge): Before battle begins, summons two identical phantoms to charge, dealing 700 damage to targets in a straight line ahead】
【Skill 2 (Heavy Armor): Defense increases by an additional 200, and Magic Resistance increases by 20%】
【Skill 3 (Iron Cavalry): Movement Speed increases by 30%, and slow effects are negated】
Behind the three hundred Phantom Heavy Cavalry,
a three-meter-tall armored figure slowly emerged astride a Bone War Elephant.
He was the final Boss of Nightmare Difficulty Skeleton Graveyard—
Skeleton Knight Mosa.
“Phantom Legion, charge!”
The soul-fire in Skeleton Knight Mosa’s eyes flared violently as he swept the bone sword in his hand forward,
issuing the order to attack without the slightest hesitation.
From starting to full acceleration, the entire process took less than three seconds.
The three hundred Phantom Heavy Cavalry moved all at once,
like three hundred off-road vehicles driven at full power.
Ordinary people simply had no way to withstand such a torrent of steel.
“Damn it. I might have overplayed this.”
Lin Yuan’s gaze sharpened. He lifted the restriction on A’gui and allowed him to summon freely.
“A’gui, block them for me!”
Without the cover of the war fog, the surrounding space had become extremely wide.
Forget ten thousand undead troops—
even a hundred thousand could fit.
At the same time, Lin Yuan also raised his hand and cast Undead Summoning.
The undead creatures Lin Yuan summoned, however, were rather monotonous.
They were all skeleton soldiers,
mostly little skeletons and Skeleton Warriors.
Only occasionally did a few Skeleton Archers appear.
While the two of them were still summoning, the Phantom Heavy Cavalry had already reached them.
Phantom Charge!
All three hundred Phantom Heavy Cavalry unleashed Phantom Charge at once,
intent on destroying everything before them.
“So you’re trying to wipe me out in one wave?” Lin Yuan curled his lip. “Who exactly are you looking down on?”
“A’gui, send out the entire army!”
“Heh-heh-heh-heh!” A’gui’s skeleton frame trembled as he thrust his skeletal palm forward.
Kill them for me!
The twenty-thousand-strong undead army surged forward like a mountain roaring and a sea howling,
colliding head-on with the Phantom Heavy Cavalry.
Individually, a single Phantom Heavy Cavalryman might not have been all that terrifying.
But when three hundred of them were gathered together,
and especially after Phantom Charge was activated,
they became absurdly powerful.
The three hundred Phantom Heavy Cavalry were like high-speed road rollers,
crushing everything that dared stand in their way.
But—
the undead army under Lin Yuan’s command was simply too vast.
They could not kill them all.
There was no way they could kill them all.
Once the charge ended,
the cavalry had only barely gouged out a passage fifty meters wide and ten meters deep,
and around six thousand undead soldiers had died beneath that one round of skills.
“Holy shit.”
“They’re pretty fierce.”
Watching from the rear, Lin Yuan’s brows twitched sharply.
