Necromancer: I Am A Disaster

Chapter 276: Could He Be A Reincarnated Boss?

Lin Moyu’s running speed was too slow to keep up with the Skeletal Warriors, so he had no choice but to let one of them carry him. The ride was uncomfortable, with the bones poking into him, but he gritted his teeth and endured it.

Seeing Lin Moyu's grimace, Mu Xianxian blushed and offered, "If you're uncomfortable, I can carry you instead."

Lin Moyu smiled and shook his head. "It's alright, I'm used to it."

"Oh..." Mu Xianxian felt a small twinge of disappointment, though she wasn’t sure why.

A large group of Skeletal Warriors carrying corpses led the way, with Lin Moyu and Mu Xianxian in the middle, and the Lich Generals bringing up the rear. What had taken over half an hour last time was now covered in less than three minutes. The corpses were no longer fresh, with at least half their health lost, but they were still usable.

The Flower of the Earth's health was still substantial, even though most of it had been depleted, far greater than that of ordinary dungeon monsters. As a plant-type leader, its health was exceptional, and Lin Moyu eagerly anticipated the damage it could inflict.

Soon, the Archaic Earth Dragon appeared. The lava had yet to cool, and the boss's molten saliva continued to drip into the flowing lava. The boss barely reacted to the skeletons, lazily lifting its eyelids to glance at them. It noticed a large number of corpses flying toward it.

“What are those things?” A hint of confusion flickered in its giant eyes.

The next moment, a curse descended, followed by a series of violent explosions. The blast from the Flower of the Earth was particularly devastating, shattering the dragon's scales and tearing into its flesh.

In the next moment, a curse descended, followed by violent explosions that sent shockwaves rippling through the air. The Flower of the Earth's blast was especially potent, shattering the Archaic Earth Dragon's scales and ravaging its flesh.

Amid the chaos, Mu Xianxian rushed in, used Collection on the Archaic Earth Dragon, and quickly retreated. The continuous explosions overwhelmed the boss, leaving it disoriented, its injuries worsening. If this continued, it would soon die.

Suddenly, the Archaic Earth Dragon spotted Lin Moyu amidst the explosions, “It’s him, that damned ant.”

But before it could retaliate, more skeletons appeared in its view. The Skeletal Mages launched focused attacks while the Skeletal Warriors hacked away relentlessly. A group of skeletons continued to hurl corpses, and Lin Moyu kept detonating them.

Lin Moyu had prepared 200 corpses for this battle, and only half had been detonated so far. No matter how strong the Archaic Earth Dragon’s defense and traits were, Lin Moyu was confident it couldn’t withstand 200 Corpse Explosions.

The Archaic Earth Dragon roared and leaped high, aiming a stomp at Lin Moyu.

Skill: War Stomp!

Lin Moyu remained calm, continuing to detonate the corpses. A single War Stomp wasn’t enough to break through his Bone Armor. Furthermore, the boss was at its limit, unable to hold on for much longer.

The 1,690 Skeletal Mages unleashed a focused barrage, and the Skeletal Warriors launched desperate attacks. For the Archaic Earth Dragon, who had reached its limit, these were fatal.

Lin Moyu’s Bone Armor shimmered under the War Stomp, completely absorbing the impact. With a tap of his finger, he detonated several more corpses in quick succession.

Amidst the deafening explosions, the Archaic Earth Dragon collapsed with a thunderous crash, its eyes filled with unwillingness. The ant it had dismissed only allowed it one chance to attack.

[Earth Dragon Bow (Archer exclusive): platinum rank weapon, all attributes +3,500, power of Archer-type skill increased by 90%. Skill: Extreme Evasion!]

[Extreme Evasion: for 30 seconds, the host will evade 100% of attacks and take no damage.]

[Earth Dragon Bow (Archer exclusive): platinum rank weapon, all attributes +3,500, power of Archer-type skill increased by 90%.]

The Earth Dragon Bow obtained through Collection lacked the supplementary skill, leading Lin Moyu to wonder if it was a coincidence or a limitation of the Collection skill.

The Extreme Evasion skill was top-tier, essentially granting an Archer a second life. It was versatile, useful for both attacking and escaping.

Mu Xianxian’s eyes widened in surprise, “It only took 37 minutes this time. That’s so fast.”

The first raid had taken 4 hours, but the second one took only 37 minutes—a staggering difference.

Lin Moyu calculated the remaining time. With 4 hours left, they could clear the dungeon at least 5 more times, yielding 4 Hearts of the Earth each time, with plenty of Earth Shards left over. Including the previous 2 raids, they could complete a total of 7 raids, gathering 28 to 30 Hearts of the Earth. For the next few centuries, the human race wouldn’t lack Earth Knights.

He applied Bone Armor to both himself and Mu Xianxian and cautioned, “When we exit the dungeon, we might be attacked by the Abyssal Demons and Dragonkind. Don’t panic. Just re-enter the dungeon immediately; I’ll reset the cooldown right away. We need to clear the dungeon as many times as possible to gather more Hearts of the Earth.”

Mu Xianxian nodded firmly, “Got it. With Sister Yeyu here, they’ll handle the Abyssal Demons and Dragonkind.”

“Alright, let’s go!” Lin Moyu uttered

The two left the dungeon. To Lin Moyu’s surprise, no one attacked them. Within seconds, he reset the dungeon, and they re-entered.

The Abyssal Demons and Dragonkind were dumbfounded. What just happened? How did those two exit the dungeon so quickly? They had been inside for less than 40 minutes. Were they seeing things? Neither the Abyssal Demons, Dragonkind, nor humans could believe their eyes. No one could grasp what was going on.

Jiang Hanshan muttered in disbelief, “That fast? That’s beyond efficient!” Then a broad smile spread across his face, “If that’s the case, they can clear the dungeon 4 or 5 more times. The human race won’t lack Hearts of the Earth for centuries. Earth Knights will surely emerge once more.”

...

The Archaic Earth Dragon fell once more. Lin Moyu now had 5 Earth Gems, 5 Earth Crystals, and 13 Hearts of the Earth.

Mu Xianxian was visibly excited, “We were a minute faster this time; it took only 36 minutes.”

Lin Moyu made a sound of assent. There were still 3 hours and 18 minutes left. If everything went smoothly, they could complete 4 more runs, possibly even 5. Resources like Earth Gems, Earth Crystals, and Hearts of the Earth were invaluable.

They exited the dungeon and immediately re-entered.

The Abyssal Demons and Dragonkind outside were still in shock. Who would have thought that a dungeon of this caliber could be cleared by two people in less than 40 minutes? This was simply unbelievable.

“Is this guy really human? Could he be a reincarnated boss?”

“Clearing the Eartheart dungeon in 40 minutes—has it gotten that easy?”

“I don’t believe it. He must be using some special item we don’t know about.”

“Whatever it is, we can’t let him leave here alive.”

“Don’t worry, we’ve already made preparations. When he comes out next time, we’ll make our move. He won’t escape.”

The Abyssal Demons and Dragonkind plotted, their eyes filled with murderous intent as they stared at the dungeon entrance.

Sensing the change in atmosphere, Jiang Hanshan growled, “They’re likely going to make a move. Everyone, get ready.”

“We’ve been ready for a while.”

“Let’s indulge in some satisfying killing soon!”

The tension in the air was palpable, ready to explode into a full-scale battle at any moment. If not for the alliance between the Demons and Dragonkind, the fighting would have already begun. Yet, even with their combined forces, the humans remained undaunted, ready to fight if necessary.

On their fourth run, Lin Moyu and Mu Xianxian’s coordination became even more precise. The monsters ahead were quickly cleared, and in just 30 minutes, they passed the second section of the dungeon. The skeletons skillfully severed the Flower of the Earth’s tentacles, carried its corpse up the cliff, and rushed toward the Archaic Earth Dragon.

Lin Moyu was still being carried by a skeleton, silently enduring the uncomfortable ride.

Mu Xianxian smiled brightly, “We’re even faster this time. We might break the 35-minute mark.”

Lin Moyu acknowledged with a brief sound, but his thoughts were on the situation outside the dungeon. The Abyssal Demons and Dragonkind should be reacting soon.

Suddenly, his eyes narrowed as he noticed something different. The Archaic Earth Dragon was standing. Unlike before, the boss was fully awake.

“Why is it awake?” Mu Xianxian muttered, puzzled.

“Something’s wrong!” A sense of foreboding surged in Lin Moyu's heart.

Roar!

A deafening bellow echoed throughout the dungeon.
