Skills with no cooldown? I become the Undead Scourge! - Chapter 73

Early the next morning.

Nanami arrived at the Instance Hall, staring fixedly at the global rankings for the Endless Tower, lost in thought.

She had already prepared her full set of top-tier equipment.

She equipped the Eight-Eyed Umbrella.

Her condition was at its peak, yet she wasn’t rushing to enter the Endless Tower.

Instead, she stood there waiting.

Meanwhile.

After his morning meeting, Lu Ran came to the Instance Hall, intending to go straight to the Endless Tower.

But he was suddenly stopped by Lei Tai.

“Not yet!” Lei Tai shouted.

The other guild leaders looked at Lei Tai, puzzled.

“I just got news! A wild Boss teleportation array has appeared on Kunpeng Island! And it was just discovered!” Lei Tai said excitedly.

A wild Boss meant a massive amount of experience.

They had to make sure Lu Ran secured it!
The others’ eyes lit up, even Yu Qingcang, who had just been tagging along for fun these past few days, got excited.

Lu Ran had taken the last wild Boss, so Yu Qingcang missed it. Today was his chance!

“Xinxin, should I save my Blood Spear for the wild Boss?” Lu Ran asked, turning to Liu Xinxin.

“Yes, the Endless Tower isn’t urgent. You’re only three floors behind Nanami’s 61st floor anyway, no need to rush,” Liu Xinxin said with a smile.

She was also thrilled about the wild Boss news.

This one absolutely had to go to Lu Ran!

And the Blood Spear was the most reliable method.

“Also, regarding the Crystal Skull of Hades you obtained last time, we had a theory: the higher your finishing blow damage, the better the rewards. It’s hard to confirm and we lack solid data, but if it’s true, you might even get another top-tier equipment piece worthy of the rankings this time,” Liu Xinxin mused.

Once the decision was made, the group used the teleportation array to head straight to Liubo City, the main city on Kunpeng Island.

According to Lei Tai’s information, the wild Boss teleportation array was located about ten miles northeast of Liubo City.

Kunpeng Island was a place Lu Ran had never visited before.

It was located in the northeast of Longxia.

The climate here was noticeably colder and sharper than in Heilong City.

Although it was called Kunpeng Island, it was actually connected to the mainland by a land route, attached to the continent, not a true island.

This was also Lu Ran’s first time seeing the ocean.

His sense of novelty and excitement was palpable.

“What a great place,” Lu Ran remarked in admiration.

Gazing at the shimmering, rippling surface of the sea and the boundless horizon—it was a scene he never had the chance to witness during all his years in Heihuo City.

“Don’t just think it’s pretty. The Forbidden Sea is extremely dangerous,” Liu Xinxin gently reminded Lu Ran.

Before global datafication, it wasn’t called the Forbidden Sea.

The name changed because after global datafication, the marine life mutated into various leveled sea monsters.

Among them were some special Boss-level sea demons of extraordinarily enormous size. Coupled with the fact that most human professional, except for some special hidden classes related to water, found it difficult to fight effectively underwater.

This led to a massive mortality rate for professional venturing into the sea!

Ships sailing there would also be attacked by all sorts of sea monsters, resulting in destruction and death.

“So, after global datafication, except for activities in the shallow coastal areas, seafaring has basically been abandoned. That’s the origin of the name ‘Forbidden Sea’,” Liu Xinxin explained.

I see.

Lu Ran nodded, looking at the deep waters beneath the beautiful, shimmering surface.

Staring intently at it gave people a palpitation, a sense of dread.

Who knows what kind of terrifying things could emerge from the deep sea!
Thinking this, Lu Ran couldn’t help but shiver, his yearning for the ocean diminishing considerably.

“Let’s go. We’ll wait for the Boss on that hill ahead. Judging by the distance and direction, we should have a clear enough view of the wild Boss’s location,” Liu Xinxin said, glancing at the map in her hand and looking around.

Having never been here before, Liu Xinxin instantly identified the perfect spot just by looking at the map, comparing the surrounding mountain terrain, and the wild Boss’s coordinates.

At that very moment, on the other side of Kunpeng Island.

Two battered, dilapidated ships were quietly approaching.

While still a significant distance from the shore, over a dozen professional from the ships leaped into the sea.

One of them, treading water, held a spirit talisman and suddenly activated it.

Boom!
A mermaid with the appearance of a young girl, wearing a red dress with black hair and black pupils, appeared before them.

Shikigami, Carp Spirit!

After the Carp Spirit appeared, the other professional gathered around. The Carp Spirit then enveloped them in a large mass of water, swiftly carrying them through the sea, avoiding monsters in the coastal area, and heading towards the shore.

They were the group of Onmyoji dispatched by Nanami days ago to infiltrate Longxia and investigate the Necromancer.

However, from their initial team of sixty, only over a dozen remained.

In just a few days, although they crossed the Forbidden Sea quickly, the mortality rate had been equally high!

“We’re almost ashore. First, notify the President that we’ve arrived! Once we cross the border, cross-national communication will fail,” one of them said, as if remembering something, and signaled to the others.

Everyone stopped.

They opened their communicators in the seawater to transmit the message.

On the other side, Nanami had been standing before the global rankings for the Endless Tower for a long time.

It was already past 8:30 AM, over ten minutes late.

But the global rankings for the Endless Tower showed no change at all. It seemed the Necromancer hadn’t attempted any floors today!

Nanami felt relieved, but also a sense of apprehension.

If that Necromancer truly lacked the ability to progress further, how did he accomplish that feat in the Deathmatch Arena?
Someone capable of single-handedly defeating five Eagle Union guild leaders, wiping them all out, shouldn’t be unable to clear floor 59, right?

“If he won’t fight, I will! I must solidify my absolute lead in the Endless Tower!” Nanami gritted her teeth.

There was even a hint of petulance in her actions.

She didn’t even care about the Nation War anymore. Right now, in her eyes, this number one spot, representing the highest global honor in the Endless Tower, had to be defended!

She had worked so hard to surpass Yu Qingcang; she refused to be overtaken so easily and dramatically!

Moreover, the other party wasn’t even level 53 yet!

Thinking this.

Nanami took a deep breath and walked towards the Endless Tower teleportation array.

But just then, her communicator received a message.

Although Nanami disliked receiving messages via communicator, preferring direct reports, it seemed irrelevant now.

She glanced down at the message.

“Acceptable speed, though casualties are high. Remain, proceed with caution. Gathering intel on the Necromancer is the primary objective. Avoid unnecessary complications. Report to me immediately after obtaining information, once you leave the border area where cross-national communication is restricted,” Nanami replied.

Then, without further hesitation, she stepped into the Endless Tower teleportation array.

Selected floor 62. Entered!
