Skills with no cooldown? I become the Undead Scourge! - Chapter 71
Neil was also among those invited to this meeting!
The atmosphere in the large conference room within Eagle Palace was equally heavy.
After Neil entered, all the leaders looked at him.
The other guild leaders behind him, who were qualified to participate, didn’t dare make a sound.
They were usually from the lower echelons.
They hadn’t even climbed the level rankings and held little sway.
But unexpectedly,
They were now the highest-level guild leaders under Neil.
After Neil and the others took their seats,
The highest leader said gravely, “How do we deal with the current situation?”
Although this matter was sanctioned by Congress, Neil was the mastermind behind it, responsible for planning the entire event.
Yu Canghai’s guess was correct.
Neil had sent people to negotiate for Hades’s Crystal Skull, but failed.
He held a grudge.
So, he planned the provocation in the Deathmatch Arena.
In his view, Longxia had no way to handle it.
After all, Eagle possessed the highest-level, highest-stat Black Dragon equipment in the world to date!
Longxia could only be forced to endure humiliation unilaterally.
He could also vent his fury thoroughly.
But he never expected things to escalate to this point in the blink of an eye.
“Actually, if we had stopped after killing so many of Longxia’s combatants on the first day, it could have been considered a success,” Neil mused.
Everyone else fell silent.
But the mistake was their greed! They continued to provoke!
After gaining an absolute advantage, they tried to squeeze every last drop of value from it!
This was also Eagle’s consistent modus operandi.
As a result,
They provoked the mysterious Necromancer into intervening, who then forcefully suppressed them!
Not only did he kill even more Eagle combatants in a single afternoon, but now, even after the five guild leaders entered, three of them had died!
“Now only Bett and Myers are left alive. Even if we win now, we gain no advantage. The lives of three guild leaders in exchange for a Necromancer under level 53, who isn’t even on the global level rankings? This is a disgrace, an absolute disgrace!” one of the leaders roared.
The expressions of the others grew even grimmer.
Because that was still the ideal outcome.
What if the last two guild leaders died as well?
That would be the true disgrace!
Everyone realized this, and the atmosphere grew more oppressive.
Inside the instance,
Lu Ran was even more at ease.
He glanced at Bett, who had already activated his Druid skill, transforming into a giant bear.
His entire body became a savage bear.
In this bear form, the duration of crowd control effects he suffered was reduced.
But unfortunately, it was useless against Lu Ran. Even the crowd control reduction from high-level toughness was ineffective, so the reduction from skills was naturally meaningless.
Moreover, even if it were useful, even if the crowd control duration was only 0.1 seconds,
Lu Ran’s cooldown-free Undead Touch could extend it indefinitely!
After transforming, Bett’s HP had increased by 180%!
Nearly double!
Still useless. As Eagle’s top tank, he now used his skill not to absorb damage and buy time or create opportunities for his teammates, but merely to survive a little longer. It was utterly despairing.
And even more desperate was Myers.
Lu Ran’s target now was him!
“Don’t kill me! I can give you Black Dragon equipment! Longxia has blocked cross-country teleportation, but you can come to Eagle! I’ll give you Black Dragon equipment! And money! However much you want, I can give it to you! I… I can even spy for Longxia! The Nation War is coming, Longxia needs me!” Myers frantically pleaded.
Feeling the consecutive Corpse Explosions from the skeleton soldiers around him,
The intense pain and steadily decreasing health points stimulated his sensitive nerves.
Lu Ran rolled his eyes.
He said, “Dammit, even at death’s door, you still insult my intelligence, huh?”
And going to Eagle?
If he really went, even with no cooldowns, surrounded by hundreds or thousands of high-level combatants, he would still die!
As he spoke,
The summoning of skeleton soldiers and the Corpse Explosions accelerated.
As for Black Dragon equipment, Lu Ran wasn’t interested. He couldn’t equip it now anyway. By the time he reached the required level, he could just farm it easily in the Black Dragon Mountains himself.
As for the Nation War,
Longxia didn’t need any external help now; Lu Ran alone was enough!
Myers wanted to say something more to beg for mercy; he just needed to hold out for half an hour until the deathmatch arena ended, and then he would survive!
His thoughts aligned with Lu Ran’s suspicions.
If he really survived, he would definitely expose Lu Ran’s abilities completely, and then mobilize the entire nation’s strength, at any cost, to kill Lu Ran!
A Necromancer like this was far too overpowered!
With him around, the nation of Longxia would violently suppress the entire globe!
So, he deserved to die.
After Myers died, the outcome was basically sealed.
When combatants worldwide saw Myers’s name turn gray.
“Now only Bett is left.”
“He killed the healer first, then the DPS, leaving the low-damage tank for last. Clear thinking.”
“The thinking is clear, sure, but who the hell can actually pull that off!”
“The five great guild leaders of Eagle, just gone like that!”
“Sigh, Longxia wins.”
…
Inside the instance, Lu Ran found dealing with the last one, Bett, even easier.
By now, thirteen minutes had passed since the Deathmatch started.
Lu Ran walked closer to Bett, seeing that his Bear Form had timed out and ended.
Bett, watching Lu Ran approach step by step, felt his face turn green!
This was the first time he, a level 60 Swamp Druid, leader of Fox Kingdom, Eagle’s top tank!
Was facing a level 25 Necromancer,
And felt only fear in his heart!
He looked at Lu Ran as if staring at a devil!
Now that his Bear Form had ended, aside from having high equipment defense and a large HP pool, he had no means to save himself against Lu Ran!
He opened his mouth, as if wanting to say something.
But Lu Ran raised a hand to stop him.
Lu Ran grinned, showing his teeth, and said, “The last one. I’ll finish this with you. This is the mess you made yourselves. You have to bear the consequences.”
After speaking, endless skeleton soldiers began concentrating their Corpse Explosions!
Even as a high-level tank, under Lu Ran’s crude, brutal, unreasonable bombardment, he could only die!
Finally, Bett’s name also turned gray!
The Deathmatch panel now looked extremely bizarre.
On one side, a Necromancer with all details hidden, name highlighted.
On the other side, five prominent figures from Eagle, the five great guild leaders, all their names grayed out, collectively dead!
If not seen with their own eyes, who would believe such a huge disparity?
In various instance halls around the world, silence prevailed as everyone watched this scene.
A few seconds later, the room was cleared, and the five guild leaders’ names vanished.
This also meant their final data in this world was gone, erased without a trace!
Simultaneously,
Lu Ran changed the room name:
[Eagle, is this all you’ve got? All trash! Ten minutes left. If no one comes, I’m going to eat.]
In Cherry Blossom, Nanami, seeing this, felt completely drained.
She stared blankly at the Necromancer’s question-marked profile for a few seconds, then mechanically turned her head to look at the global Endless Tower rankings.
That Necromancer was ranked third.
Judging by the ranking, she still held an absolute advantage, after all, she had cleared the 60th floor milestone!
That was something even Yu Canghai had never been able to break through!
Nanami murmured, “Eagle provoked Longxia, and he suppressed them so violently to this extent. Did he target me in the Endless Tower because I suppressed Yu Canghai? Will… will he continue?”
If he continued, and even surpassed her, what should she do?
Elsewhere,
In the Eagle Congress, the accurate news arrived.
The five guild leaders, completely annihilated!
Neil’s hand trembled as he picked up a glass of water, took a sip, swallowed, then took a deep breath and said, “This person must not be allowed to live!”
