Skills with no cooldown? I become the Undead Scourge! - Chapter 72

“Hmm? You want to personally confront this Necromancer?” the leader asked thoughtfully.

After all, Lu Ran had given them a ten-minute window.

It wasn’t too late to enter now!
But aside from Neil, no one dared to enter at this point.

Lu Ran’s room stood empty.

Even though the team deathmatch was still open, no one was brave enough to join.

Seriously, who would dare?
The five most elite guild leaders from Eagle Nation, each with their specialized roles, a fully equipped team, plus Mia, the Holy Light Shaman—wiped out, completely annihilated!
Could Eagle Nation even assemble another team that powerful?

“No, there’s no point in me going in. The current situation is settled. The deaths of the five guild leaders have dealt a massive blow to Eagle Nation’s prestige. Even if I killed that Necromancer, it wouldn’t salvage much of our honor,” Neil immediately shook his head.

But truthfully, everyone present knew.

Neil was afraid!
That team of five had a tank, damage dealers, a healer—a complete setup. And yet, a single Necromancer wiped them all out.

What chance did Neil have?
Even if Neil faced those five guild leaders himself, the outcome would be death!
This wasn’t a fight on the same level at all. It was normal for Neil to be scared.

“Then what do you suggest? How do we eliminate that Necromancer? Dragon Country has blocked all international teleportation. Even if we send assassins, we can’t get into Dragon Country,” one leader pondered aloud.

Everyone agreed with Neil’s sentiment—this Necromancer must not be allowed to live!
A full team of high-level combatants in Black Dragon gear, slaughtered one after another by that Necromancer like skewered candy!

If a World War starts, large numbers of our top fighters will fall to that Necromancer!
It seems Eagle Nation has the advantage with Black Dragon equipment, but this Necromancer significantly undermines that!

This is absolutely unacceptable to the Council.

Eagle Nation’s advantage must be secured!

This World War, Eagle Nation must dominate the globe!

And this Necromancer is the only notable variable!
“We can’t use cross-border teleportation, but we can cross the border. As long as we infiltrate successfully, our agents can hide, investigate the target’s identity, and wait for the right moment to strike,” Neil said thoughtfully.

“But… even if we identify him… how do we kill him?” someone asked.

If a succession of challengers couldn’t take him down, can assassins really do it?
“Use your brain! If one can’t kill him, five can’t kill him, then send ten, a hundred! Is he truly invincible?” Neil glared angrily at the questioner, his voice booming.

Given Neil’s status, the questioner immediately fell silent.

Neil snorted coldly.

He continued, “There’s still time before the World War. I suggest we deploy immediately, cross the border at a weak point, enter Dragon Country, investigate, and assassinate that Necromancer!”

Everyone looked at each other uncertainly.

Finally, the senior leaders exchanged glances.

One of them nodded and said, “We have to try. That Necromancer is indeed a variable. But as for the weak point in Dragon Country’s border… where is it?”

Neil narrowed his eyes slightly and said, “Dragon Country’s Southern Frontier, the Land of a Thousand Mountains!”

The Land of a Thousand Mountains—a place of treacherous terrain, teeming with high-level monsters, most of which are Dark-aligned. Few are willing to grind there.

Simultaneously, it’s the most lightly defended area along Dragon Country’s border.

Although it’s equally dangerous for Eagle Nation’s combatants,

if they prepare thoroughly, they could infiltrate a large number of assassins into Dragon Country with minimal losses!
Meanwhile…

Lu Ran waited ten minutes. When no one entered the room, he disbanded the match himself.

The deathmatch panel finally returned to its usual blank state.

Lu Ran, Yu Cangqiong, and the others went to Tian Yuan Lou to celebrate Lu Ran’s victory.
Over the meal, they discussed the events in the deathmatch arena.

Lu Ran spoke freely and confidently.

“The first one was actually a Necromancer? How sneaky. In a one-on-one fight, a Necromancer paired with debuff skills is indeed very troublesome, capable of suppressing and killing an opponent quickly,” Liu Xinxin analyzed.

“It’s just that the Necromancer never expected Lu Ran could control all his summons. What a joke, haha…” Lei Tai laughed heartily.

“Lu Ran, tell us in detail, how did you control them? Was it difficult?” Ye Hongyi asked excitedly.

This was the first time they’d heard of someone indiscriminately controlling another’s summons. It was ridiculously overpowered!
“Not difficult at all. Just a glance was enough to take control…” Lu Ran recounted the situation in detail.

“So simple!” After hearing it, the several guild leaders were somewhat astonished.

“From now on, no Dark-aligned creature in this world will be a threat to you, regardless of level! And it’s so easy to control. Even swarms of Dark-aligned monsters, a single glance would bring them under your command,” Yu Cangqiong marveled.

“There aren’t many Dark-aligned monsters in the regular wilds, right? Though some specific dungeons are full of them,” Lu Ran said matter-of-factly.

“The normal wilderness certainly doesn’t have many, but now that you mention it, it reminds me of a place. Lei Tai should be very familiar with it,” Yu Cangqiong said.

Hearing this,

Lei Tai blinked, then widened his eyes and said, “The Southern Frontier? Oh man, don’t even bring up that godforsaken place. My Guardian Army struggles to deploy troops there. That damned place, no living soul wants to go there!”

Hearing Lei Tai’s strong aversion, Lu Ran couldn’t help but ask, “Are there many Dark-aligned monsters in the Southern Frontier?”

“Many? That’s an understatement! The Land of a Thousand Mountains in the Southern Frontier—layer upon layer as far as the eye can see. Not only is the density insane, but the levels are ridiculously high too! Plus, there are disgusting poisonous insects everywhere. That damned place is an absolute nightmare!” Lei Tai continued his lament.

Then,

changing his tone, Lei Tai went on, “But you’re different! Regardless of those poisonous insects, or the evil spirits, venomous creatures, etc., they’re all yours to command. If you go to the Southern Frontier, a single glance, and the entire Land of a Thousand Mountains becomes your playground!”

They chatted idly, eating and drinking their fill.

“Xinxin, tomorrow morning, before we run the dungeon, should I continue pushing the Endless Tower?” Lu Ran asked, looking at Liu Xinxin.

“Yes, the Blood Spear should be charged by now, right?” Liu Xinxin nodded.

“It charged right after I killed Mia,” Lu Ran confirmed.

For many, this night was a sleepless one.

Eagle Nation busily began preparing high-level combatants, forming assassination squads, ready to head for Dragon Country’s border!
At the Chinami Grand Shrine in Sakura Nation,

Nana Mei was unusually not in a meeting. Instead, she had secluded herself in her room.

She sat curled up on the tatami mat.

Her fair legs were curled up against her chest, her arms wrapped around her knees, and in the darkness, the eight-sided parasol lay in front of her delicate feet.

The matter between the Necromancer and Eagle Nation was over.

The Necromancer, representing Dragon Country, had violently suppressed Eagle Nation!

But her unseen struggle with that Necromancer wasn’t over yet.

“Tomorrow morning, he’ll probably continue climbing the floors, right…” Nana Mei murmured.

Her gaze gradually grew determined.

Possessing Sakura’s most powerful Shikigami, and more than one at that, gave her an absolute advantage in the Endless Tower!
She absolutely could not lose!
