Necromancer: I Am A Disaster

Chapter 201: Strange Flower; Fire God's Key

The whole palace seemed to have awakened. Numerous Fire God's Palace Guards poured out inside. They had the same goal, heading straight for the Skeletal Warriors.

At this time, Lin Moyu was still standing at the palace's gate. Seeing the scene before him, he immediately ordered the Skeletal Warriors to turn back.

If they were to proceed forward, they would be hit by the control-type skill, before being surrounded and killed.

The lack of an anti-control-type ability is really a major weakness of his.

A Skeletal Warrior appeared next to him and lifted the remaining Fire God's Palace Guard's corpse.

In a dungeon, after a monster dies, its corpse will exist for a short time. As time goes by, the corpse's health will rapidly decrease.

It has only been about a minute since he dealt with the two Fire God's Palace Guards at the gate, yet Lin Moyu can already feel that most of the corpse's health had disappeared. After a while, even the corpse itself will disappear.

The Skeletal Warriors ran back, followed by numerous pursuers.

"Throw it!"

Lin Moyu willed, and the Skeletal Warrior next to him threw the Fire God's Palace Guard's corpse.

Skill: Corpse Explosion!

The corpse passed over the heads of the Skeletal Warriors and then exploded in the air. The explosion swept through the palace's interior, and the entire palace trembled.

Lin Moyu's pupils constricted. Not a single one of the pursuing Fire God's Palace Guards was killed in the explosion.

The corpse has existed for too long, and so its health was greatly reduced.

Even with the skill's amplification, the corpse's detonation still wasn't enough to kill the Fire God's Palace Guards. It was only able to blow them away.

After being attacked, the Fire God's Palace Guards shifted targets and focused on Lin Moyu. They bellowed and rushed toward him.

At this time, a red light flashed, and red chain patterns appeared on the heads of the Fire God's Palace Guards. The speed of the Fire God's Palace Guards suddenly slowed.

Lin Moyu locked on the Fire God's Palace Guard running at the very front, and his palm burned with Soul Blaze. The Skeletal Mages also focused their firepower on the same Fire God's Palace Guard, and lightning thundered, wind howled, and arrows of ice swooshed.

Soul Blaze caused severe damage.

Along with a tragic scream, the Fire God's Palace Guard collapsed to the ground.

Boom!

Another explosion echoed throughout the palace.

Since the Fire God's Palace Guard just died, its corpse was fresh and full of health.

This time the explosion cleared away the pursuers, and a series of notifications popped up. Each Fire God's Palace Guard provided 1.36 million EXP.

After this wave, Lin Moyu's EXP increased by a large chunk and reached 97%, only 3% away from a level up.

Lin Moyu was still standing at the palace's gate. But at this time, the palace's interior has become empty.

The alarm continued to ring, but no new guards rushed over.

The Skeletal Warriors braved the flames and ran toward the palace's interior once more, proceeding to play their final role.

As they ran, one of the Skeletal Warriors fell down. It completed its final mission and reached the end of its road. Its bones quickly turned into powder, and then disappeared without a trace along with a gust of hot wind.

Lin Moyu sighed in his heart.

Skeletal Warriors are the most loyal and perfect combatants. They fear neither pain nor death, and will faithfully execute any order given to them.

After crossing the palace, a garden with rockeries, streams, and a pool appeared in front of Lin Moyu.

Unlike any garden Lin Moyu has seen so far, the rockeries here are mounds of fire and the streams are filled with lava. The whole garden exudes a burning hot aura, much hotter than in the palace.

Violent heat waves, carrying rich fire element, slammed into Lin Moyu head on and triggered the Bone Armor.

"What's this?"

Glaring firelight surged, and Lin Moyu instinctively narrowed his eyes.

Through the cracks between the flames, Lin Moyu sighted a flower made of crystal, blooming brilliantly in the middle of the flames. It is breathtakingly beautiful, and is gently swaying in the middle of lava.

For a flower to appear in such an environment, it must be unusual.

Two more Skeletal Warriors fell down and turned into smoke.

Of the 16 Skeletal Warriors Lin Moyu summoned initially, four have died so far. The remaining 12 won't last long either.

Lin Moyu asked them to try to pick the flower.

But when the Skeletal Warriors approached the lava, the lava churned violently, and the surrounding temperature instantly increased several-fold.

The Skeletal Warriors fell one after another. The last few barely touched the lava, when a giant hand of fire extended from the lava and slapped the Skeletal Warriors.

These Skeletal Warriors were already on the verge of death, their bones covered in cracks. Now that they were slapped by the giant hand of fire, the remaining skeletons fell apart and died.

After it smashed the Skeletal Warriors, the giant hand that extended from the lava shot toward Lin Moyu.

Lin Moyu quickly retreated and dodged. At the same time, the Skeletal Mages launched an attack against the giant hand.

Frozen Tempest! Cyclone Storm! Thunderstruck!

Three-types of elemental spells landed on the giant hand one after another.

Fizz!

White smoke came from the giant hand. As if it felt pain, the giant hand retracted with a swish.

Lin Moyu was stunned. It escaped?

A monster running away is not a common sight at all.

In the next moment, the lava surged violently and rose into the sky.

Bang bang bang!

Lin Moyu heard a heartbeat.

A heart made of fire appeared above the flower, throbbing loudly and making an overcast sound. The lava rising into the sky turned into a ten-meter tall giant, the flower located inside its body, still visible.

The flower was planted on top of its heart, rising and falling along with the heartbeat.

The giant roared, and the lava churned more violently. Pillars of fire shot up into the sky, and fire rained down on the entire garden. The majority of the lava integrated into the giant's body, making is more powerful.

[Fire God's Palace Gardener (hell rank leader)]

[Level: 36]

[Strength: 20,000]

[Agility: 10,000]

[Spirit: 10,000]

[Physique: 20,000]

[Skill: None]

[Characteristic: Fire Elemental Immunity]

The Fire God's Palace Gardener's strength and physique have both reached 20,000 points, which puts it nearly on the same level as the Skeletal Warriors. When added together, its attributes have reached 60,000 points.

Although it has no skills, but with just normal attacks, it is enough to give people a headache.

If it were outside, Lin Moyu would have nothing to fear. He would just use Skeletal Warriors to overwhelm it. But he can't do this here. Otherwise, the skeletons would have to bear the attack of the dungeon's fire element in vain.

However, if he doesn't summon a large number of skeletons, it will probably take a lot of time to destroy the leader monster in front of him.

The defense of the Skeletal Mages is much lower than that of the Skeletal Warriors. Subjected to the perpetual damage caused by the fire element, they won't be able to last long.

Lin Moyu summoned nine Skeletal Warriors. Including the one that threw the corpse, there are currently 10 Skeletal Warriors in the garden.

The 10 Skeletal Warriors quickly ran back into the palace and dragged out the corpses of the recently killed Fire God's Palace Guards.

By this time, the Fire God's Palace Gardener had already launched an attack against Lin Moyu. It sent its giant palm slamming down.

Lin Moyu didn't dodge, but instead cast Slowing Curse to slow down its movements. At the same time, Soul Blaze burned in his hand, causing the Fire God's Palace Gardener damage.

Soul Blaze's damage wasn't low. In fact, it was on the same level as that of the Skeletal Mages' skills. But the pain it caused, that would be etched into your bones.

The Fire God's Palace Gardener's attention was focused on Lin Moyu, and it continued to attack him.

The Bone Armor shone brightly, blocking all attacks.

Fire God's Palace Gardener was a hell rank leader, and so its health was astonishingly high. With only 20 Skeletal Mages, plus Lin Moyu, it would take a lot of time to kill it.

After a while, the Skeletal Warriors ran back with the corpses, each dragging two corpses behind them, for a total of 20.

Although these corpses have been dead for a while and their health has been greatly reduced, but they are still better than nothing. The skeletons tossed the 20 corpses toward the Fire God's Palace Gardener.

Skill: Corpse Explosion!

The corpses detonated in midair, and lava splashed, exposing gaps. The Fire God's Palace Gardener apparently sustained considerable damage.

Explosions rose one after another. Lin Moyu didn't spare his spirit force and continuously cast his skill.

The Necromancer class only requires sufficient spirit force. Its skills have no cooldown. At least for the time being, Lin Moyu hasn't found any skill with cooldown.

Explosions rose continuously. After throwing their corpses, the Skeletal Warrior didn't remain idle, but rushed to the Fire God's Palace Gardener.

In the face of the ten-meter tall Fire God's Palace Gardener, the Skeletal Warriors looked tiny.

The Skeletal Warriors swung their blades, and red light suddenly appeared. The red light was of a brighter color than the flames.

Skill: Berserk Strike!

The Fire God's Palace Gardener suddenly screamed.

Corpse Explosion, Soul Blaze, and the Skeletal Mages' magic attacks, as well as the Skeletal Warriors' skill-powered attacks, this combination dealt a fatal blow to the Fire God's Palace Gardener. For start to finish, the battle only lasted five minutes.

[Killed Fire God's Palace Gardener, EXP +2,160,000]

[Obtained Fire God's Key]

[Obtained Fire God's Flower]

[Fire God's Key: a key that can open the true Fire God's Palace]

[Fire God's Flower: can be used to awaken the Fire God]

Boom!

After the Fire God's Palace Gardener died, the lava flared up again. Hot lava surged from all directions, as if to engulf the garden.
