Skills with no cooldown? I become the Undead Scourge! - Chapter 103

At this moment, Nanami froze in a daze.

That Necromancer had cleared three floors in just over half an hour!

They were now on floor sixty-six!

She had originally intended to try floor sixty-five, but now, she suddenly lost all motivation.

The gap was truly immense!
The concept of the other clearing three floors in such a short time was entirely different from her barely scraping through floor sixty-four.

Moreover.

Nanami’s four pieces of equipment were all damaged, while the other side clearly hadn’t even damaged their gear!
They could even be said to have cleared it effortlessly.

With such a comparison, even if Nanami fought with all her might and miraculously survived clearing floor sixty-five, it would most likely be another barely-made-it situation.

Recapturing the top rank was impossible!
“Guild Master, shall I go repair your equipment now?” her attendant asked cautiously.

“No need,” Nanami shook her head.

Her expression seemed calm, but anyone could tell her emotions were in intense turmoil!

She didn’t leave. Instead, she waited in the instance hall like everyone else.

As for pushing further floors, she had completely given up.

Yet, unwilling to concede, she wanted to see just how far this arrogant Necromancer would go!
Thirteen minutes later.

The ranking refreshed. The Necromancer’s floor count changed to sixty-seven!

Nanami sighed inwardly. The last glimmer of hope was utterly extinguished.

Another dozen or so minutes passed.

The Necromancer’s floor count changed to sixty-eight!
After that, with not much time in between,

The Necromancer’s floor count climbed steadily!
Floor sixty-nine was cleared soon after.

Then came floor seventy, which the Necromancer cleared in twenty minutes!

Floor seventy was a major threshold.

Every subsequent floor’s difficulty would increase significantly!
Yet, this still didn’t seem to approach the Necromancer’s limit. He actually cleared floor seventy in twenty minutes!
At this moment, silence fell over the various instance halls in Sakura.

The previous excitement and fervor had long since vanished without a trace.

Their Sakura’s top-ranked Onmyoji was being so thoroughly suppressed by this Necromancer, utterly crushed!

There was simply no comparison!
“Thinking about it now, the Necromancer’s pattern of clearing one floor in the morning and one at night before was totally just playing around!”

“Yeah, he could have cleared them long ago, just wasn’t in a hurry.”

“Now that he’s taken first place, he’s pushing floors non-stop to secure the ranking.”

“Damn, the gap is just too huge!”

“All this time I actually believed in Nanami, and this is the result?”

“Nanami was really led on by that Necromancer. Did she actually think she was qualified to compete with him?”

“Which country are you from? Why are you siding with the outsider?”

…

Amidst the heated, noisy atmosphere, the sense of unwillingness in Nanami’s heart instead faded by more than half.

Replacing it was a deep sense of powerlessness.

Before her, that Necromancer stood like an insurmountably high mountain!
There was no possibility of surpassing him!
But on the other side,

In the various instance halls of Longxia, it was a scene of bustling excitement!
“Floor seventy, rank number one, holy crap, that’s incredible!”

“Probably unbeatable for at least a year, right?”

“The Necromancer is mighty! Does anyone know who he is? I want an autograph!”

“Haha, feels great, so satisfying!”

“Longxia is number one globally!”

…

As for Lu Ran, after clearing floor seventy, he let out a sigh of relief.

Muttering to himself: “The difficulty of floor seventy increased quite a bit, but thankfully it was still manageable.”

He wasn’t worried.

After all, he had the charging Blood Spear for a finishing move, and the Yin-Yang Boundary ensured he wouldn’t die.

With the nearly endless Ancient Golems, there was no chance of Lu Ran losing health either.

So, he planned to continue.

But just then,

A message from Liu Xinxin came through: “Stop for now. Come out.”

Lu Ran, about to continue, saw the message and immediately exited the Endless Tower without hesitation.

Liu Xinxin was waiting outside, looking somewhat anxious.

Seeing Lu Ran emerge, she hurriedly said, “Something’s wrong. I messaged Sister Hong and Lei Tai twenty minutes ago, and neither has replied.”
Lu Ran’s heart tightened.

He asked anxiously, “Did they log off?”

If they had logged off, there was a possibility of death.

After all, Ye Hongyi and Lei Tai had no habit or need to hide their communicator status.

“No, they haven’t. But it’s strange. Considering Sister Hong’s odd behavior earlier, I think something might have happened. Let’s go check on them,” Liu Xinxin said thoughtfully.

“Okay,” Lu Ran agreed without a moment’s hesitation.

He glanced back at the global ranking panel for the Endless Tower.

Floor seventy, firmly in first place.

Nanami in second place was still on floor sixty-four.

“No need to look. Unless she’s seeking death, Nanami won’t continue. Her Shikigami are still powerful enough; it’s a pity she was pushed this far by you but wasn’t killed,” Liu Xinxin said with regret.

And Lu Ran’s current rank? Nanami couldn’t hope to catch up even if she tried!

After saying this,

Liu Xinxin took out her staff.

A verdant green light shimmered over her body, enveloping both her and Lu Ran.

The next moment.

Hum~

A pair of green energy wings appeared on her and Lu Ran’s backs. Lu Ran immediately felt his body become much lighter.

“Can I fly now? How does this work? How do I control it?” Lu Ran asked excitedly.

“You can’t fly,” Liu Xinxin replied, both amused and exasperated. “This is an Elven race buff skill that significantly increases movement speed. Combined with your Corrosion skill, it allows me to maintain the speed boost continuously. This way, we can travel faster.”

Southern Frontier.

Forest of Ten Thousand Corpses!
This was a place where the Miao villages gathered materials for practicing Gu sorcery.

Usually quite tranquil, today, it was in chaos!

At this moment,

Ye Hongyi, Lei Tai, Wei Yingying, and about ten others stood together.

Lei Tai held his shields before him.

Five massive energy shields rotated around the group.

A tight, defensive formation!

On a small hillock not far away,

Over a hundred other职业者 watched them.

“What are you all doing here!” Wei Yingying asked through gritted teeth, her eyes fixed sharply on their surroundings.

“Afraid you’d die, of course we came to check,” Ye Hongyi said without turning her head.

“Well, great. Now you’re going to die here too,” Wei Yingying said, her face grim.

“Stop chatting, think of a way to break out! I can’t hold on much longer!” Lei Tai said, his expression ashen.

The over hundred职业者 were currently focusing their fire.

Lei Tai had already used the level 60 Awakening skill of the Earth Knight!
But he still couldn’t hold out for long.

There were too many opponents, and their levels weren’t low either!

“It’s people from Eagle Union. Damn it, how did they get here!” Wei Yingying said, her face pale.

“This is a weak point in the Guardian Army’s defense line. Infiltrating Longxia from here is a good idea. We just happened to run into them by accident,” Ye Hongyi said grimly.

Wei Yingying took a deep breath.

Said, “Let’s break out. Shatter this barrier!”

But Ye Hongyi shook her head.

Said, “Even our communicators are jammed. This isn’t an ordinary barrier; it’s the Exorcist’s Awakening skill, ‘Malevolent Demon Barrier.’ We can’t break it quickly. To break out, we must first kill that Exorcist!”

That was easier said than done. With over a hundred enemies on the hill, how could they charge over and kill him?

Between a rock and a hard place!

Wei Yingying glanced at the scattered, wandering corpses around them, a flash of determination in her eyes.

Holding her Gu vessel in one hand, a blood-red mist-like substance began to diffuse from within.

“Thousand-Day Red!” Ye Hongyi was startled. “Yingying, what are you doing?!”

Wei Yingying said through clenched teeth, “I’m going to aggro every single corpse in this Forest of Ten Thousand Corpses! If we’re going to die, they won’t leave here alive either!”

At this moment, Nanami froze in a daze.

That Necromancer had cleared three floors in just over half an hour!
