Necromancer: I Am A Disaster

Chapter 225: Perfectly Countering The Soul Devour Insect King; Soul Crystal

The Second Form Soul Devour Insect King, its spirit attribute decreased, while its strength and physique attributes increased. The overall attributes, however remained unchanged—350,000.

The Soul Devour Insect King transformed into a 10-meter tall humanoid monster.

The Skeletal Mages continued their relentless attacks. With the barbs gone, the Skeletal Warriors began to swarm the Soul Devour Insect King, covering its body in no time.

The Soul Devour Insect King swept with its large hands, sending multitudes of Skeletal Warriors flying.

Subsequently, it grabbed a Skeletal Warrior and tossed it into its mouth, and then the sounds of crunching on bones rang out.

The Skeletal Warrior was surprisingly eaten. At the same time, Lich General reported that its undead legion lost a Skeletal Warrior.

At this time, the Soul Devour Insect King grabbed another Skeletal Warrior, stuffed it into its mouth, and started chewing.

After consuming the Skeletal Warriors, its injuries began to heal faster.

It still had this kind of ability? Lin Moyu was at a loss for words; it could eat opponents to heal itself. This ability was just too abnormal.

The Soul Devour Insect King grabbed the third Skeletal Warrior. Despite being affected by the curse that slowed its movements, it was so thoroughly surrounded by Skeletal Warriors that it could easily catch one.

Lin Moyu snorted coldly. With a flash of red light, the Damage Curse replaced the Slow Curse. At the same time, Soul Blaze burned fiercely.

Before this point, Lin Moyu had only used Soul Blaze once to divert the boss's attention, and hadn't used it again.

Now, in order to quickly end the battle and reduce the damage, Lin Moyu himself also joined the fray.

With the help of the Damage Curse, which increased damage by 10 times, the effect of Soul Blaze was maximized.

The Soul Devour Insect King screeched in agony, nearly dropping the Skeletal Warrior it was holding.

Soul Blaze packed a powerful punch, inflicting excruciating pain, several times more intense than that of other skills.

The Soul Devour Insect King continued to eat Skeletal Warriors. At the same time, it swept with its hands, flinging swaths of Skeletal Warriors away, causing substantial damage to the Skeletal Warriors with each strike.

However, the Lich Generals' Legion Heal was exceptionally powerful, instantly healing the wounds of the Skeletal Warriors.

Additionally, the Lich Generals demonstrated excellent command skills. Without Lin Moyu's interference, they cycled the injured Skeletal Warriors to the rear for recovery, while sending the uninjured ones to the front to carry out attacks.

The skeletons— fearless of death, insensible to pain, and never tiring—would continue to attack relentlessly until the enemy was annihilated.

Due to the Damage Curse's tenfold increase, the damage inflicted by the Skeletal Warriors and Skeletal Mages was raised significantly.

Combined with Lin Moyu's continuous use of Soul Blaze, the healing speed of the Soul Devour Insect King couldn't keep up with the damage it sustained.

The Soul Devour Insect King's most powerful offensive skill was completely countered by Lin Moyu, leaving it only its basic attacks, which no longer posed a significant threat. Its defeat was inevitable.

At this time, the Soul Devour Insect King was swarmed by Skeletal Warriors. It ate Skeletal Warriors one after another, but they were immediately replaced by others.

The Soul Devour Insects had always relied on numbers, but they found themselves at a numerical disadvantage at this time.

The Soul Devour Insect King released a roar of unwillingness, then opened its mouth and released a swarm of Soul Devour Insects.

"Heh!" Lin Moyu showed a smile.

When the Soul Devour Insects emerged, they were met with a round of concentrated attacks from the Skeletal Mages. A large swath of Soul Devour Insects perished.

Skill: Corpse Explosion!

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Lin Moyu used Corpse Explosion. A series of explosions ensued, dealing massive damage to the Soul Devour Insect King.

The Soul Devour Insect King reacted swiftly and absorbed the remaining corpses, no longer daring to release more Soul Devour insects. It realized that by doing so it would be throwing its life away.

The Soul Devour Insect King's injuries were worsening rapidly, and it was getting genuinely frightened. If things continued like this, it would only last a few more minutes at most.

It turned to flee, and the wings hidden beneath its armor instantly unfolded.

"This is the moment I've been waiting for!"

The Lich Generals perfectly executed Lin Moyu's command. The moment the wings appeared, the Skeletal Warriors on the Soul Devour Insect King's back unleashed their skill and, together with the Skeletal Mages, focused their attacks on the wings.

White light burst forth from Lin Moyu's finger, and Bone Fangs shot out in rapid succession.

Consequently, the Soul Devour Insect King's wings were riddled with holes and cuts, and even were torn off.

The Soul Devour Insect King plummeted to the ground with a screech shortly after it took flight. When it dropped on the ground, it was swarmed by Skeletal Warriors, and their blades hacked away.

Amidst the frenzied attacks, the Soul Devour Insect King's Second Form was dispelled, and it reverted to its insect form, and barbs bloomed all over its body.

It swept about with its 36 insect legs, preventing the Skeletal Warriors from getting close.

But no matter how hard it tried, it couldn't break through the encirclement of the Skeletal Warriors, nor could it withstand the relentless attacks of the Skeletal Mages.

Despite its formidable health, the Soul Devour Insect King was already at the end of its rope. It let out a piercing screech of utter despair.

At this time, with booming noise, and hills burst apart one after another. The ground shook violently, and cracks sprouted everywhere.

Skeletal Warriors fell into cracks. The Lich Generals reacted swiftly, promptly retrieving the Skeletal Warriors that fell in.

A large crack appeared beneath Lin Moyu's feet as well, but he reacted quickly and dodged it, avoiding a fall.

The Skeletal Mages, stumbling and swaying on the ground, were unable to proceed with their attacks.

Lin Moyu willed, and the Lich Generals quickly retrieved all the skeletons, and then he retrieved the Lich Generals.

"Is this its skill?" Lin Moyu wondered.

Just as the skeletons were retrieved, the ground shattered and collapsed, and Lin Moyu fell along with it. He stood on a large rock during the fall, showing no sign of panic.

The moment the ground collapsed, he saw massive numbers of Soul Devour Insects. He quickly realized that the hills had been hollowed out a long time ago.

The Soul Devour Insect King had commanded its minions to thoroughly dig up the ground.

Accompanied by booming noise, the hills collapsed one after another, the devastation spreading rapidly.

Consequently, the entire Immemorial Battlefield shook. People in the distance felt the tremors as well.

A human class user party, located far away—when they heard the Soul Devour Insect King's earlier screeches, they began to run into the distance—felt the ground quaking.

"Is it an earthquake?"

"Did you guys hear anything?"

"I think I heard the Soul Devour Insect King screech. It wasn't an ordinary screech, but more like a cry of pain."

"Could someone be fighting the Soul Devour Insect King? It's been years since anyone attempted to take down that boss."

"If they do manage to defeat it, Soul Crystal would make a great reward."

"There's also Soul Devour Ring. It's not as good as boss accessories, but it's still a top-tier platinum rank accessory."

"These things are indeed great, but it's incredibly difficult to kill it!"

As the hills continued to collapse, the tremors grew stronger and spread further.

Lin Moyu had already landed, finding himself amidst rubble.

The Soul Devour Insect King fell alongside him, its massive body crashing to the ground. Although it originally had the ability to fly, but its wings had been mangled and severed by the skeletons, stripping it of said ability.

Massive amounts of Soul Devour Insects flew over from different directions and merged into the Soul Devour Insect King's body, healing its wounds.

There was no way Lin Moyu would let it lick its wounds in peace.

Skill: Damage Curse!

Skill: Bone Fangs!

He cast the two skills in succession, first cursing the Soul Devouring Insects, and then following up with Bone Fangs, which glowed with white light, killing a large number of Soul Devour Insects.

Next came Corpse Explosion!

The Soul Devour Insect King was hit by explosions once more, worsening its wounds that had just healed a bit.

It let out a strange screech, no longer daring to let the Soul Devour Insects approach Lin Moyu. After all, the more of them came, the faster it would die.

The Soul Devour Insect King turned and ran away, screeching all the while.

"It's running away!" Lin Moyu gave chase without hesitation.

The Soul Devour Insect King, with its incredibly high agility, was much faster than Lin Moyu, quickly running into the distance.

Skill: Slow Curse!

There was a flash of crimson light, and the Soul Devour Insect King slowed down immediately. The Slow Curse had a range of 6,000 meters, and the Soul Devour Insect King was well within its range.

Affected by the Slow Curse, the Soul Devour Insect King's speed was no match for Lin Moyu's. No matter how hard it tried, it couldn't pick up enough speed.

The distance between the two gradually closed. The Soul Devour Insect King kept screeching, each cry more desperate than the last.

Lin Moyu had never seen a boss run for dear life before. Unfortunately, it won't be able to escape.

Except for a 100-meter tall towering hill, the rest of the hills had all collapsed. That was the Soul Devour Insect King's lair, and it hadn't been hollowed out.

The Soul Devour Insect King was fleeing toward its lair. As Lin Moyu was gaining on it, the fear in the Soul Devour Insect King's cries intensified.

Lin Moyu released Skeletal Warriors in an attempt to stop the Soul Devour Insect King, but it brandished its 36 insect legs and swept them aside.

The Soul Devour Insect King kept running, heedless of anything else.

Lin Moyu sensed that something was off. The Soul Devour Insect King was fleeing in a specific direction, as if there was something there.

In the distance, he saw the Soul Devour Insect King's lair, the 100-meter tall hill. It was heading straight for it.

"There must be something there that can save it."

"I can't let it continue to run."

Lin Moyu willed, and a Skeletal Warrior picked him up and ran forward together with him.

Lin Moyu soon overtook the Soul Devour Insect King and blocked its path. The Soul Devour Insect King, however, continued to charged straight ahead.

Lin Moyu stood firm, the Bone Armor shimmering, while the Soul Devour Insect King was knocked back. It couldn't understand how such a small thing could stop it in its tracks.

The Lich Generals emerged together with their undead legions, and then a massive amount of skeletons swarmed the Soul Devour Insect King again.

The Soul Devour Insect King let out a cry of despair. It knew it had no chance of escaping.

With its wings torn off, the Soul Devour Insect King lost its ability to fly. It also couldn't use Soul Devour Insects to heal itself. Furthermore, its Soul Devour skill was perfectly countered.

Faced with the undead legions, it had no strength to fight back. It jumped in a last ditch attempt to escape. But the skeletons leaped up as well, then slammed it back to the ground.

What others saw as a terrifying skill, Lin Moyu saw as nothing. If he were faced with some other level 50 lord rank boss, the battle might not have been this easy.

Two minutes later, the Soul Devour Insect King fell with a final shocking cry.
