Skills with no cooldown? I become the Undead Scourge! - Chapter 101

“Alright then!” Lu Ran responded.

He took one last look at the global ranking for the Endless Tower.
This round, victory was his.

He would claim it with an absolute advantage!
An advantage so vast, no other nation could surpass it for three years!

In the next instant, Lu Ran’s figure vanished from the Endless Tower’s teleportation array.

Upon reappearing,
Lu Ran encountered a Dark Elf that bore some resemblance to the Storm Naga from the previous floor.

To be precise, it was a branch of the Dark Elves, born from the fall of the High Elves.
But this one clearly had different attributes.

The Storm Naga from the previous floor was wreathed in lightning, while this one was surrounded by a swirling mist of water vapor.

It looked quite gentle, but Lu Ran didn’t trust appearances for a second.
[Level 63 Raging Sea Naga (Floor 63)]

Lu Ran took a deep breath.
He glanced at the Blood Spear, still charging.

Truth be told, the Blood Spear had been charging for several hours now. Using it to instantly kill the Raging Sea Naga wouldn’t be a problem.
But since he had decided to charge forward in one go, there was no need to use the Blood Spear now. He’d save it for an unexpected emergency.

As for this Raging Sea Naga,
Lu Ran directly summoned the Trident of the Calming Seas.
Then, with a single step out of the safe zone, countless Skeleton Soldiers and Ancient Golems began erupting forth, summoned in a geyser-like fashion.

Lu Ran’s summoning speed was getting faster and more fluid by the day.

Noticing the appearance of enemy units, the Raging Sea Naga immediately let out a furious roar and charged madly towards Lu Ran.
The water mist around it also began to churn violently!

Although the Naga itself was a ranged BOSS with several long-distance skills,
the distance here was clearly insufficient.

“Stay put!” Lu Ran shot a glance at the Raging Sea Naga and, with a mere thought, hurled out the Touch of the Undead.

Instantly,
the Raging Sea Naga’s feet were bound by the spectral grasp of the Touch of the Undead, halting it mid-charge, unable to move further.

Meanwhile, Lu Ran continued summoning Skeleton Soldiers without pause.
The Ancient Golems were there to prevent any accidents, and they were sufficient for now.

Furthermore,
Lu Ran also possessed the passive skill “Two Realms of Yin and Yang” from Hades’ Crystal Skull, so he wasn’t the least bit flustered.

A massive wave of Skeleton Soldiers began rushing towards the Raging Sea Naga.
Corpse Explosion commenced!

And amidst the chain of Corpse Explosions, the infinitely stacking Skeletal Storms also began to wreak havoc.
With Lu Ran’s currently high Intelligence and ample Mana, while he wasn’t quite a perpetual motion machine yet, dealing with the BOSSes here in the Endless Tower was more than manageable.

The poor Naga roared in rage but couldn’t fight back or attack Lu Ran.
Under the constant restraint of the Touch of the Undead, it could only stand its ground passively, struggling like mad.

Eight minutes later.
[Congratulations on clearing Endless Tower Floor 63. Experience Gained: 630,000]

“Cleared.” Lu Ran’s emotions remained largely unperturbed.
He glanced at the staircase passage to the next floor that had already appeared and strode directly towards it.

Next floor, onwards!

At this moment,
the global Endless Tower ranking outside immediately synchronized.
A clear time of eight minutes completely crushed Nanami’s record, reclaiming the top spot!

Nanami, who had been basking in the admiration, suddenly saw the global ranking panel for the Endless Tower flicker.
The next second, the expression on her face froze solid.

The first-place position she had just fought tooth and nail to obtain, how long had it even been? It was already gone!

That Necromancer had also cleared floor 63!
And…
his clear time was much faster than Nanami’s!
He had directly bumped her down again, reclaiming the number one spot!

Nanami stared fixedly at the ranking panel, her face extremely unpleasant.

The surrounding clamor, cheers, and flattery vanished in the blink of an eye!
Before long,

whispers began:
“That Necromancer can actually keep going!”
“It seems floor 62 really wasn’t that Necromancer’s limit after all.”
“He cleared it just like that? And in less time than Nanami!”
“Both are on floor 63, but the Necromancer is rank one. Damn, this hurts!”
“The gap isn’t huge. Nanami, keep going!”
“Right, right! If you clear floor 64, wouldn’t you take back first place?”
…

These whispers felt like steel needles constantly piercing Nanami’s eardrums.
Her body trembled slightly, her pretty face contorted somewhat grotesquely from the intense emotional turmoil.

Huu~
She exhaled sharply and asked the maid beside her, “Are the pieces of equipment I damaged earlier repaired?”

Hearing this, the maid was startled.
She hurriedly said, “President, are you going to continue? It’s too dangerous! Floor 63 was already pushing the limit. Floor 64 would be…”
“Silence! Give me my equipment!” Nanami roared.

The maid immediately fell silent.
Obediently, she returned the repaired equipment to Nanami.

“I will not lose. I absolutely cannot lose! He wants to continue, does he? Fine! Then let’s see who ultimately suppresses the other! I must clear floor 64!” Nanami gritted her teeth and declared.

Without waiting for any reaction from her maids, she resolutely charged towards the teleportation array.
Like Lu Ran, she took one last look at the global Endless Tower ranking before her figure disappeared into the teleportation array.

The challengers in the instance hall looked at each other.
“Nanami is continuing too?”
“Floor 64 shouldn’t be a problem, right?”
“If she clears floor 64, Nanami can regain first place.”
“Then we’ll have to see how that Necromancer responds.”
“After all, he’s not even level 53. Who knows what tricks he used to get this far, but his limit could never be Nanami’s limit!”
“This is a contest without suspense. The final victor will definitely be our Sakura Nation’s Nanami!”
…

It seemed many still held absolute confidence in Nanami.

But ten minutes later,
the global Endless Tower ranking panel suddenly flickered again.
Everyone’s eyes lit up; the ranking was refreshing!
Yet when they looked closely,

they found,
the panel had refreshed, but the ranking hadn’t.
No, to be precise, it had refreshed, but Nanami was still in second place!
The Necromancer in first place remained number one, but his floor count had changed to 64!
Nanami’s record, however, was still floor 63!
Nanami was still inside the Endless Tower, striving to attempt floor 64, unaware that the Necromancer far away in Longxia had already cleared floor 64 ahead of her!

“That Necromancer… is charging through floors consecutively!” A maid realized, her face grim.
And his speed was terrifying!
Only ten minutes had passed since his floor 63 clear time!

Ten minutes!
That Necromancer cleared floor 64 in just ten minutes more!

“Dammit, that Necromancer is on floor 64 now!”
“He cleared floor 64 in ten minutes? How the hell did he do that?”
“Oh no, Nanami hasn’t cleared it yet!”
“Even if Nanami clears floor 64, she can’t catch up in the ranking now.”
“Unless Nanami tackles floor 65.”
…

Only these maids knew,
floor 63 was already Nanami’s limit!
The probability of her clearing floor 64 was minuscule, and even if she did, she would still be trampled underfoot by that Necromancer!

But what they didn’t know was,
after clearing floor 64, that Necromancer had rushed straight to floor 65 without stopping!
He was still charging ahead!
