Chapter 33: Human Wave Tactics?
BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!
The ground trembled violently.
Countless undead awakened from beneath the earth and clawed their way up to the surface.
From above, the Frostcold Sword Guard looked down at Lin Yuan.
“You damned Summoner.”
“After I kill you, I will peel the skin from your body and use it as a seat cushion.”
The hundred thousand undead of Skeleton Graveyard surrounded Lin Yuan so tightly that not even water could leak through.
A mocking smile appeared on the Frostcold Sword Guard’s face.
“This farce should come to an end.”
“Bone Legion, exterminate all intruders.”
With the Bone Orb in hand, the Frostcold Sword Guard’s HP was recovering at a rate of one percent per second.
He could not move,
but with a hundred thousand undead standing between him and Lin Yuan,
it did not matter.
All of those undead were Level 15 Skeleton Warriors.
With those Skeleton Warriors serving as cannon fodder, it would be more than enough time for the Frostcold Sword Guard to recover to full health.
And once that happened,
he would not give the other side another chance.
...
On Lin Yuan’s side,
Skeleton Warriors glared at him from every direction.
Blue soul-light streamed from their hollow eye sockets.
One or two of them would have been fine,
but when one hundred thousand gathered together, the sight was beyond eerie.
Anyone timid would have wet themselves long ago.
Lin Yuan rolled his wrists a few times, then sat back down in his chair.
“Ali, it’s your turn.”
If it had been one against one, Ali would still have needed some effort to kill the Frostcold Sword Guard.
But if it was one against many—
then killing the Frostcold Sword Guard was actually... quite easy.
If you wanted to use human wave tactics,
then I’m afraid you picked the wrong person.
At a single command from the Frostcold Sword Guard,
one hundred thousand undead surged toward Ali like a mountain flood or a raging sea.
Ali’s solitary figure looked almost mournful by comparison.
As the two sides closed to melee range,
Ali could already see the rhythm of the soul-fire flickering in the Skeleton Warriors’ sockets.
That was the instinctive hunger for slaughter.
Heh.
And who did not yearn for slaughter?
Ali held the Bone Greatsword level,
then swung it forward.
Sweep!
-85000
-86400
-159800 (Critical Hit)
One skill
instantly turned the two-meter area in front of him into a vacuum.
Sweep’s damage was not especially high,
but its strength lay in the fact that killing a target reset its cooldown.
Ali became like a cold, merciless reaper mowing down grass,
unceasingly harvesting the lives of the undead before him.
One hundred thousand undead
could not hinder Ali’s advance.
Not even for a second.
He strolled through them as though walking through a garden,
and it took him only twelve seconds
to arrive before the Frostcold Sword Guard.
At that moment, the Frostcold Sword Guard was nothing more than a lamb waiting for slaughter,
utterly incapable of resistance.
Ali raised his hand and unleashed a Deathbestowing Sword Qi.
-60000
Without even turning his head,
he swept the Bone Greatsword sideways toward his left.
The cooldown of Deathbestowing Sword Qi reset once more.
Four consecutive Sweeps
meant that Deathbestowing Sword Qi had been used four times.
The Frostcold Sword Guard had only just managed to recover to 230,000 HP,
and in the blink of an eye, it was all emptied again.
“That’s impossible!”
“I am Lord Pierre’s strongest subordinate. How could I lose?!”
“I am the strongest Sword Guard!”
The Frostcold Sword Guard dropped to his knees, his eyes filled with fierce unwillingness.
He died in bitter rage.
“The strongest Sword Guard?” Disdain flashed in Ali’s eyes.
Even at the height of his former peak, he had still fallen to Lionheart Holy Sword Arthur.
And this mere Shadow Dancer, who had not even mastered Slaughter Feast, dared claim to be the strongest?
A frog at the bottom of a well.
Laughable.
The moment the Boss died, the Bone Orb in his hand fell to the ground.
Without the Bone Orb’s power, the surrounding undead instantly lost all vitality and reverted to heaps of lifeless bones.
【Killed Bone Soldier (LV20) *3720, EXP +3720】
【Killed Frostcold Sword Guard Laiyas (LV20), Evolution Points +5000, EXP +20000】
【Level increased to 15 (12620/60000)】
Lin Yuan rose to his feet and inwardly sighed at the pity of it.
That had all been EXP.
But it did not matter.
The Bone Orb had dropped!
An Epic-grade item!
One such treasure was enough to create a top-tier class-holder.
Let me see what kind of thing this is.
【Bone Orb - Auxiliary Equipment】
【Grade: Epic】
【Equip Requirement: Undead-type Lifeform】
【Effect: Absorbs the essence of undead life. Once the energy reaches 100%, it can actively comprehend an undead-type skill (Current Energy: 60%)】
“What is this?”
“And this deserves to be called Epic-grade?”
Its effect was baffling,
and the equip requirement was even more ridiculous.
Undead-type Lifeform.
Lin Yuan had no way to equip it at all.
“A’gui, I’ll let you have this bargain.”
Lin Yuan tossed the Bone Orb to A’gui,
then gave him a serious instruction.
“When you comprehend a skill in the future, choose a Magic-Type one. Don’t give me some melee garbage.”
Ali already had more than enough melee skills.
Lin Yuan wanted more spells,
so that he could develop in every direction.
“Gah-gah!”
The moment he received the Bone Orb, A’gui held it like a priceless treasure and was unwilling to let go.
He nodded again and again.
Spells, right?
Just wait and see.
The Frostcold Sword Guard had dropped more than just the Bone Orb.
There was also a skill book and a piece of equipment.
【Frostcold Cloak】
【Grade: Platinum】
【Equip Requirement: LV15】
【Attributes: Strength +25, Agility +30, Dodge Rate +3%】
【Trait: Movement Speed increases by 8%】
【Blizzard】(S-Rank) Mage Exclusive
【Learning Requirement: LV30】
Skill Description: Consumes 1200 Mana to summon a Blizzard over a 30x30 area. The Blizzard lasts for 6 seconds and deals 2000 + 200% magic damage per second. The Blizzard has a chance to freeze targets in place. Damage dealt to frozen targets is increased by 100%. Cooldown: 20 seconds.
A Commander-grade Boss would always drop either an S-Rank skill book or a Diamond-grade piece of equipment.
The skill book was excellent.
If placed in an auction house, it would fetch at least fifty million.
But it was not something Lin Yuan could use.
For the time being, Lin Yuan had no intention of selling it. He wanted to see whether he could exchange it for a skill book he actually could use.
If not, then he would sell it later.
As for the Frostcold Cloak, Lin Yuan immediately put it on.
The blue cloak concealed his entire body within it,
and an air of mystery arose from him at once.
One look at the smile on Lin Yuan’s face
was enough to show how satisfied he was with this cloak.
The attributes were whatever.
The important thing was that it looked handsome.
Its appearance value was high.
If he walked down the street in it, the rate at which people turned their heads would absolutely skyrocket.
Powerful attributes were only temporary.
But being handsome was a matter for a lifetime.
After confirming that nothing had been left behind, Lin Yuan chose to leave the dungeon.
【Successfully killed the hidden Boss of Skeleton Graveyard and fulfilled the conditions for a Perfect Clear】
【Yes / No: Hide your name before issuing the regional announcement?】
“No.”
Why would he hide it?
Xia Country had always valued talent.
Only by proving your worth would you attract greater attention.
So what if Summoner was a bottom-tier class?
It was not as though there had never been bottom-tier classes before that defied fate and rewrote their destinies.
If Xia Country’s officials were all fools incapable of recognizing talent,
then the nation could never have developed to its current point and become the number one great power on Blue Star.
...
Outside the dungeon,
Tian Ye was chatting with an old man nearing fifty.
“Xiao Tian, how long has it been already? Why hasn’t he come out yet?”
“They keep calling me over there.”
The old man was Cheng Feng, a professor from Jingdu University.
His class was Street Fighter, and his level was 55.
Even within Jingdu University, his combat power ranked among the best.
Earlier, he had promised the Demon Suppression Army that he would help suppress the riot at No. 9 Hive Fortress.
The regimental commander of the Seventh Army was already urging him on.
