Skills with no cooldown? I become the Undead Scourge! - Chapter 62
Baron seemed to freeze in that moment, rigid in place.
Watching the endless stream of Ancient Golems appearing around Lu Ran, Baron felt only a scalp-numbing terror!
He had never seen anything like it!
The Necromancer was a conventional class, familiar to everyone.
Ancient Golems were just a summoning skill for a Level 25 Necromancer.
But what in the world was this before his eyes? An infinite number of Ancient Golems?
Did this guy have no cooldown on summoning Ancient Golems?
Even though Lu Ran was only Level 25, and each Ancient Golem only had 100,000 HP—nothing much for a high-level combatant like Baron—the sheer density of them, almost completely blocking his line of sight, was overwhelming!
As the timer counted down.
The safe zone countdown had already begun.
Baron sneered, “Ancient Golems? High health, high defense, but slow speed, slow attack rate, and low attack power. These things can’t touch me. Even with this many Ancient Golems, they still can’t touch me. And besides, so what if they do? Are you counting on these things to kill me?”
Through the crowd, Baron glared grimly at Lu Ran.
Lu Ran looked back at Baron with an expression one might reserve for an idiot, curled his lip, and said, “You’re just cannon fodder. Can’t be bothered wasting words on you.”
Having said that, he continued summoning Ancient Golems as if it were the most natural thing in the world.
By now, there were already fifty or sixty Ancient Golems.
Thanks to the effect of his special trait, all damage Baron inflicted on Lu Ran would be borne by the Ancient Golems, even if Lu Ran did nothing.
Moreover, Lu Ran could continuously summon more to replenish them during this process.
Baron had not the slightest possibility of winning!
Seeing Lu Ran’s calm and composed demeanor, Baron’s expression darkened.
He glanced at the surrounding Ancient Golems.
Suddenly, he realized: these Golems couldn’t pose much of a threat to him, and they certainly couldn’t have been a threat to Land either!
Land’s death wasn’t because of these Ancient Golems!
This Level 25 Necromancer had other methods!
Thinking this, a chill ran down Baron’s spine.
Human fear of the unknown is what most easily dominates the mind.
Baron couldn’t concern himself with anything else.
Seeing the countdown about to end.
He arched his body, a guttural, beast-like growl emanating from his throat.
Then.
Baron’s body began to swell.
Grey fur started sprouting from his skin, and his head twisted and transformed into the shape of a wolf’s head—savage and fierce!
“Whoa, he really can turn into a werewolf!” Lu Ran’s eyes lit up, and he spoke in surprise.
But his gaze held no fear; instead, it was the novelty of seeing a new toy!
“I wonder… if it gives any enhancements down there. If it does, bro, your class is top-tier!” Lu Ran quipped, glancing pointedly at Baron’s crotch.
The next moment.
The countdown ended. The safe zone disappeared!
In that instant, Baron vanished from his spot like a released spring!
His explosively initiated speed even shattered the stone slabs where he had been standing!
Baron had already decided his plan.
Avoid all the Ancient Golems, close the distance at maximum speed, and crush Lu Ran!
He would not allow any unexpected situations to occur!
After all, Neil had analyzed that Land died because of underestimation; he couldn’t repeat that mistake!
But the moment he dashed forward—
Thump!
Baron’s movement jerked to an abrupt halt.
Tentacles emerging from the ground ensnared his feet. Carried by his momentum, his body pitched forward, and he fell flat on his face.
The powerful momentum slammed Baron face-first into the ground.
It nearly knocked the crap out of him literally.
His head buzzed as he scrambled to get up, looking at the tentacles gripping his feet.
He scowled. “Fine, you know control skills too. But a Necromancer’s Deathly Grasp only lasts three seconds. You’re dead!”
As he spoke, Baron gathered himself, staring intently at Lu Ran.
Instead of commanding the Golems to attack or attacking himself, Lu Ran strolled leisurely towards Baron.
He stopped about seven or eight meters away.
Baron, seeing the three seconds should have passed, prepared to charge, but found the tentacles at his feet were endless!
The three seconds were long gone!
Yet he couldn’t break free!
Baron looked up in shock, just in time to see the staff in Lu Ran’s hand glowing intermittently.
“You… your Deathly Grasp has no cooldown either!” Baron exclaimed, startled, almost biting his tongue.
This was just too unfair!
In a match between a Mage and an Assassin, the Mage was typically at a significant disadvantage, vulnerable to the Assassin closing the gap.
Once an Assassin got close, the Mage’s situation became perilous.
But now.
This Necromancer opponent could spam Deathly Grasp infinitely, leaving him, the Assassin, completely immobilized from start to finish!
How was he supposed to fight like this?
Lu Ran chuckled softly. He still didn’t use the Blood Spear; that was his final trump card, reserved for the finishing move.
Dealing with Baron wasn’t urgent.
Lu Ran grinned, his staff beginning to weave through the air.
Poof!
Poof!
Poof!
Skeleton soldiers began appearing one after another.
Baron was dumbfounded.
Lu Ran’s Summon Skeleton also had no cooldown!
What was going on with this Necromancer?
He was starting to grasp how Land must have died.
No, it wasn’t just Land; anyone who entered would die!
Infinitely castable Deathly Grasp, area control, unavoidable—you could only be controlled!
From the moment the duel began, any combatant facing Lu Ran lost their mobility, stuck waiting for death where they stood!
Even having a dispel skill was useless.
Dispel skills had cooldowns, but Lu Ran’s Deathly Grasp did not!
Baron instantly foresaw the consequences.
As things stood, no one in Eagle Nation could kill this Lu Ran!
Similarly, this Lu Ran would become Eagle Nation’s greatest scourge in the future!
It appeared that Lu Ran had no cooldowns on all his skills!
He was only Level 25 now, capable of summoning Skeleton Soldiers and Ancient Golems. But once he reached higher levels, he could summon Skeleton Lords and Abyssal Bone Dragons!
Nation Wars!
As a high-level combatant, Baron immediately realized Lu Ran’s potential impact on Nation Wars.
An endless legion of Abyssal Bone Dragons? How could anyone fight against that?
Baron’s body trembled violently. He wanted desperately to exit the deathmatch arena to report—to stop anyone else from entering, and to spare no effort in infiltrating Dragon Xia to assassinate Lu Ran!
But unfortunately, no one outside knew what was happening inside the deathmatch arena.
Land didn’t die from carelessness; he was utterly dominated!
Similarly, Baron himself was in dire straits, facing the same fate!
At that moment.
Baron noticed the Skeleton Soldiers Lu Ran had summoned were lining up, marching towards him one by one.
Baron was puzzled for a second, then immediately realized: this guy’s Corpse Explosion probably had no cooldown either!
“If you’re going to kill me, just do it! What are you doing!” Baron roared.
“What’s the rush?” Lu Ran said. “Killing you is just the process. Killing more of Eagle Nation’s high-level combatants is the goal. If I finish you off too quickly, the other bros outside might get scared and not come in. Wouldn’t that be a loss for me? Let’s take our time.” Lu Ran grinned widely.
The next second.
Boom!
The first Skeleton Soldier exploded right in front of Baron!
Then the second, the third, proceeding in sequence. Baron’s health bar began to drop visibly!
