Chapter 227: I'm Going To Kill You Today

Soul fire flickered fiercely and booming sounds rose. In an instant, all the skeletons were injured, including the Lich Generals. None were spared.

Only Lin Moyu, protected by the Bone Armor, shrugged off the attack. Judging from the intensity of the glow released by the Bone Armor, the attack clearly wasn't weak.

The Lich Generals sent back information that their souls had been attacked.

"Soul Explosion!" Lin Moyu deduced that this must be the doing of this skill, directly affecting the soul.

Its effect was somewhat similar to his Soul Blaze. However, Soul Blaze was a single-target skill, whereas the Soul Devour Insect Mother's Soul Explosion was a group skill. And its range was vast, nearly able to affect the entire secret realm.

Skill: Legion Heal!

The Lich Generals raised their staves high, and pale white light shone, healing themselves and the skeletons. Fortunately, Lin Moyu had the Lich Generals.

If it were before Lin Moyu had reached level 30, a few rounds of this skill would be enough to decimate the skeletons. Truth be told, it wouldn't even be a fight.

If it were before, when Lin Moyu had only 300 skeletons, it would be impossible to defeat the Soul Devour Insect King, much less the Soul Devour Insect Mother.

The Soul Devour Insect Mother's spirit force had reached 200,000 points, making its skills extremely powerful.

Damage on the soul level was incomparably painful. Fortunately, the skeletons felt no pain. If it were class users instead, they would probably be trembling in agony, and even if they could endure it, their combat power would be greatly reduced.

Among the people Lin Moyu had met so far, only Xu Yan could endure the pain coming from the soul.

At this time, the Skeletal Warriors had already reached the Spirit Shield and unleashed their skill, and blades glowing red struck the Spirit Shield.

The Skeletal Warriors surrounded the shield completely. 2,000 Skeletal Warriors, piled on top of each other, crawled all over the shield, and their blades slammed into the shield.

At the same time, the Skeletal Mages cast their skills nonstop.

Ripples rose on the shield and spread across it like waves. But despite all these attacks, the shield stood fast.

"As expected, it's really tough!"

After being fully buffed, the strength attribute of the Skeletal Warriors had reached 50,000, while the spirit attribute of the Skeletal Mages had reached 100,000. Their attack power was extremely powerful. Nevertheless, they still weren't able to break the Spirit Shield.

The spirit force of the four Soul Devour Insect Guards was mixed together. With a combined spirit force of 800,000, the Spirit Shield was unimaginably though. Despite the relentless bombardment from the undead legions, it stood firm.

Lin Moyu could see it clearly. The Soul Devour Insect King was a lord rank boss bred by the Soul Devour Insect Mother standing in front of him, and its task was to absorb the soul fragments in the outside world to nourish the entire secret realm.

In the secret realm, pure, untainted soul energy circulated, all under the control of the Soul Devour Insect Mother. The entire secret realm provided energy to the Soul Devour Insect Mother.

And in turn, the Soul Devour Insect Mother, provided energy to the four Soul Devour Insect Guards.

Consequently, attempting to smash the Spirit Shield meant contending with the energy of the entire secret realm. It was an incredibly challenging endeavor!

Who knows if anyone had ever managed to slay the Soul Devour Insect Mother before. After all, with such defensive power, even a level 60-plus class user party might not be able to smash it.

To break through the shield, a massive team would be necessary. A six-people party or even a 12-people party wouldn't cut it.

Nevertheless, today Lin Moyu wanted to kill it.

Ssskreee!

A wailing cry echoed again, injuring the skeletons once more.

The skeletons crawling the shield dropped like raindrops, hitting the ground with a thud, then quickly got up and jumped back onto the shield. They feared neither death nor pain.

The Skeletal Mages' skills were momentarily interrupted, but then resumed.

Soul attacks were highly effective at disrupting skills.

Lin Moyu used Soul Blaze to interrupt the opponent's skills, which was a well-tried and tested tactic. But at this time, the same tactic was unexpectedly used against his skeletons.

A new change appeared on the Spirit Shield at once. Previously, there were only rippled. But now, the affected area showed slight distortion. The Spirit Shield had a dent.

It worked! Lin Moyu’s eyes lit up. The change was a good sign, indicating that the idea proved effective. Now he had to keep going and push harder. Maybe this was the breakthrough he was waiting for.

The Skeletal Mages continued their concentrated fire. The Skeletal Warriors joined in, redoubling the assault on that area.

However, Lin Moyu gradually noticed that something was wrong. After the initial slight distortion and denting, there were no further changes.

Although several minutes had passed, but the Spirit Shield still stood firm. In the meantime, 20 more Skeletal Warriors were picked off.

Lin Moyu saw blatant derision in the Soul Devour Insect Mother's eyes.

It appeared that this method was ineffective. The Spirit Shield was too tough, making regular attacks useless.

If he were to give up and retreat now, Lin Moyu would feel disgruntled.

At this time, the entrance twisted and disappeared. The secret realm closed and became a sealed space again.

The Soul Devour Insect Mother shut the secret realm to prevent Lin Moyu from escaping.

Lin Moyu touched the Advanced Dungeon Escape Talisman in his pocket. Even with the secret realm closed, that still wouldn't be enough to trap him here.

"Since that's the case, then let's give it another try!" As he thought this to himself, Lin Moyu stepped up to the shield, and then touched the shield with his finger.

Skill: Bone Fangs!

White light shone on his fingertip, causing the shield to dent inwards.

Bone Fangs possessed incredible penetrating power, capable of piercing even the scales of Dragonkind class users.

At this time, the level 30 Bone Fangs—1,200 in total—concentrated on a single point the size of a fingertip. The skill's attack power might not be higher than that of the Skeletal Mages' skills, but the same wasn't true for its penetrating power.

The shield had a needle-like dent that extended inward for at least half a meter. However, the shield remained sturdy, still holding on without breaking.

Lin Moyu cast Bone Fangs continuously, releasing 10 rounds in one go. The white light was blinding. But despite the fierce assault, the shield showed no signs of breaking.

When the skill stopped, the white light dissipated with a pop, and the shield instantly reverted to normal.

It was still ineffective. Even Bone Fangs couldn't penetrate the shield.

Lin Moyu pressed his hand against the shield. Suddenly, he sensed soul aura, and his eyes lit up. He had an idea.

The shield contained a large amount of soul energy. At the same time, it also contained the will of the Soul Devour Insect Guards. Then...

Soul Blaze burned brightly in Lin Moyu's palm.

The previously indestructible shield was instantly set ablaze. A shield made of soul and spirit force feared nothing more than a skill like Soul Blaze that burned soul.

The Soul Devour Insect Mother showed a hint of panic in its eyes. It launched a fierce attack against Lin Moyu, trying to stop him.

Skill: Soul Frost!

The Bone Armor burst out with dazzling white light, firmly blocking the attack.

Lin Moyu maintained Soul Blaze with his right hand, while with his left hand recast the Bone Armor. The Soul Devour Insect Mother's repeated attacks were all blocked by the Bone Armor.

The Soul Devour Insect Guards screamed like crazy, constantly reinforcing the shield, pumping soul energy into the shield in an attempt to buy time.

After a full minute, Soul Blaze finally burned a hole through the shield.

Lin Moyu's lips curved into a smile. He was finally able to lock onto the target.
