Chapter 229: Crimson Light Shooting Into The Sky; The Crimson Menace
Accompanied by a clang, the Bone Armor glowed brilliantly, blocking the dagger.
Lin Moyu raised his hand, and red light shone in his palm.
Skill: Slow Curse!
Under the curse's effect, the attacker was revealed instantly. It was a Dragonkind Assassin.
The two nearby Skeletal Warriors, their soul fire ablaze, lunged forward with their blades, but the nimble Dragonkind Assassin quickly retreated, evading their assault.
The Dragonkind Assassin, naturally resistant to curses, wasn't much affected by the Slow Curse.
Skill: Bone Fangs!Visitt novelbin(.)co/m for the latest updates
Lin Moyu pointed with his finger, and pale-white light exploded, followed by a torrent of 1,200 Bone Fangs.
The Dragonkind Assassin, caught too close, was pierced by the Bone Fangs in a flash and sent flying backward, screaming in agony.
While the Dragonkind Assassin was still in midair, the light from a Heal skill was already upon it.
Looking up, Lin Moyu saw a party of Dragonkind class users flying toward him at top speed.
"Kill him!"
The dozen Dragonkind class users, surging with murderous intent, attacked him without hesitation.
Crimson light rose from Lin Moyu's body and shot into the sky, lingering there. Lin Moyu knew this light would last for a full 10 days.
Bai Yiyuan had explained to him the rules of the Primordial Rune: acquiring the rune would trigger crimson light visible from thousands of kilometers away.
Everyone in the Immemorial Battlefield that saw the crimson light would know that he had obtained the Primordial Rune and would come to seize it. The only way to seize the Primordial Rune was by killing its holder, causing it to drop again.
With the crimson light as guide, it would not be difficult to find the holder. During the period of 10 days, the holder would become a public enemy, having to face a large number of foes.
After the 10 days were up and the crimson light had disappeared, only then would the holder completely own the Primordial Rune.
It wasn't easy for any class user to survive 10 days with a target painted on their back. Back in the day, even Bai Yiyuan had struggled quite a bit. And now it was Lin Moyu's turn.
"In that case, I'll kill however many come at me!" Lin Moyu's heart grew cold. He looked at the Dragonkind class users rushing toward him, and a surge of murderous intent rose within him.
The Dragonkind class users were already close at hand. Lin Moyu could see the greed and ferocity in their eyes. In their eyes, the level 30 Lin Moyu was as insignificant as a pebble by the road.
The undead legions that had been retrieved not long ago were released all at once. The skeletons instantly filled the entire field, surrounding the Dragonkind class users.
The Lich Generals raised their staves and applied status buffs. In an instant, white light shot forth, enhancing the skeletons.
The Skeletal Warriors swung their blades, while the Skeletal Mages unleashed a barrage of skills.
The countenance of the Dragonkind class users changed drastically, the sudden turn of events throwing them into a disarray.
"Defense!" The leading Knight bellowed and activated the Mass Protection skill, forming a shield that blocked the first wave of attacks.
At the same time, Lin Moyu had cast Detection on them.
The leading Dragonkind Knight was level 50, a full 20 levels higher than Lin Moyu, and Dragonkind class users were inherently stronger than human class users of the same level.
But in front of Lin Moyu, this seemingly powerful party of Dragonkind class users was nothing. After all, no matter how strong they were, they were no match for the Soul Devour Insect King. Even the Soul Devour Insect King succumbed to the undead legions, let alone them.
The battle's outcome was set in stone from the start. But Lin Moyu, not wanting to waste too much time, joined the fray and locked onto the Assassin.
He raised his hand, and Soul Blaze ignited in his palm. Along with a droning sound, the curse was switched once more, changing back from the Slow Curse to the Damage Curse. The sudden change in speed caught the Dragonkind class users off guard.
At the same time, the Dragonkind Assassin let out ear-piercing screams, unable to bear Soul Blaze's excruciating path. The support rushed to heal the Assassin. However, Lin Moyu cast Soul Blaze relentlessly.
Consequently, a support was forced to focus solely on healing the Assassin. Otherwise, under Lin Moyu's relentless assault, the Assassin would perish within five seconds.
Soul Blaze was incredibly effective for attacking a single target. Lin Moyu effectively pinned down one of the Healers, putting immense pressure on the remaining one.
The Dragonkind Knight's Drawing Fire skill finally ended, and the Skeletal Mages focused their firepower on the Dragonkind Assassin, who was already in dire straights. The sudden burst of concentrated fire ended the Assassin's misery in an instant.
Skill: Corpse Explosion!
Boom!
The ensuing explosion was deafening, sending shock waves through the air, which felt like blades against the scales.
Apart from the Knight and four Warriors, the rest of the party was wiped out in an instant.
"What happened?!"
"They're all dead?!"
The remaining Knight and Warriors were still reeling from the shock, unable to comprehend what happened. The rest of their party was wiped out.
Another explosion ensued, followed by another and another. Four explosions rose in a row, claiming the lives of the four Warriors, leaving only the Knight still alive.
The Knight's Extreme Defense had crumbled, leaving him severely injured and on the brink of death. Then, red light illuminated his vision, and a Skeletal Warrior delivered him the final blow. The Knight collapsed to the ground, a shade of unwillingness on his face.
Lin Moyu watched with indifferent eyes, as if it were a trivial matter.
The entire battle lasted no more than a minute. Compared to the fight with the world rank boss, it was a breeze.
The military badge released pure white light, and the sixth and seventh stars emerged one after another. Killing 12 high-level Dragonkind class users increased Lin Moyu's military merit by 12,000, bringing his total to 70,000 and promoting him to a seven-star lieutenant.
The Skeletal Warriors quickly stripped the equipment from their fallen enemies before disappearing. Once again, only two Skeletal Warriors remained around Lin Moyu.
A level 30 human Necromancer, accompanied by two level 30 Skeletal Warriors, they looked weak and harmless. Any random monster on the Immemorial Battlefield could easily kill them.
With the skeletons in tow, Lin Moyu left the devastated area.
At this time, crimson light rose into the sky from him, illuminating the sky with a crimson hue. Lin Moyu was like a giant beacon, shining brightly wherever he went and visible from thousands of kilometers away.
Shortly after he set out, footsteps could be heard approaching.
"Junior!"
A voice called out, and a group of people came running toward him.
Lin Moyu stopped and looked over, noticing that the newcomers were dressed in a uniform, bearing the emblems of the emblems of Xiajing Academy's Chuangshi Institute. Lin Moyu himself was also wearing the Xiajing Academy's clothing, identifying them as fellow students...
Despite this, Lin Moyu didn't lower his guard.
Bai Yiyuan had warned him that on the Immemorial Battlefield, no one could be fully trusted, including those of the same race and academy. You had to be on high alert at all times.
On the Immemorial Battlefield, Lin Moyu couldn't trust anyone else.
