Skills with no cooldown? I become the Undead Scourge! - Chapter 78

Although the four guild leaders had spread out.

They were still communicating with each other via communicator.

“Isn’t Lu Ran taking too big a risk by only summoning one Ancient Golem?” Yu Cangqiong, the most worried, asked in the team comms.

“I’ve checked them out. Among these dozen or so, the highest level is 51, the lowest is 43. They’re nothing special. Lu Ran still has the Netherworld and the Ancient Golems in the Gourd. No need to worry,” Liu Xinxin said.

As she spoke, a faint, glowing green light shimmered in her eyes.

This was the unique detection talent skill of the Elf race.

Under her detection skill, the levels of those dozen-plus men were laid bare.

Back at the scene.

The group watched as the four guild leaders moved away, forming a perimeter, leaving only one mage behind.

They were somewhat confused about the situation.

Just then.

One of the Onmyoji suddenly spoke up: “A level 26 Necromancer? What’s going on here?”

It seemed this Onmyoji also had a detection-type skill.

Unlike other classes, although Onmyoji is a specific profession, their skills vary drastically depending on the Shikigami they control.

One Onmyoji might be a close-quarters tank, another a ranged caster, and yet another an ambush assassin—there was no single standard.

“A level 26 Necromancer? What does that mean? Do those four guild leaders have a grudge against this Necromancer? Using us to kill him?” someone wondered.

“Never mind that, just kill him! While the four leaders are separated, let’s break through with all our might!” another shouted.

It seemed, in their eyes.

This level 26 Necromancer could be dealt with effortlessly.

What they were really considering was how to break out; they completely disregarded Lu Ran.

It wasn’t out of contempt or deliberate slight, but a level 26 Necromancer truly wasn’t worth their attention.

Right now, survival and breaking out were paramount.

Even though the secret infiltration had failed, their own lives were still very important.

No sooner said than done.

One of them abruptly raised his hand, flinging a talisman straight at Lu Ran.

Lu Ran frowned. To avoid any unexpected setbacks, he casually summoned a few more Ancient Golems to act as meat shields.

The talisman transformed into black smoke that exploded, leaving Lu Ran covered in dust and grime.

One Ancient Golem fell on the spot.

But the dozen or so Onmyoji suddenly snapped back to reality.

Staring blankly at the seven or eight additional Ancient Golems now before them.

“Are these the Necromancer’s Ancient Golems? How… how did so many pop out all at once?”

“How did this kid do that?”

“Wait, why was my attack ineffective? This guy isn’t taking any damage!”

“Something’s weird. Let’s all attack together and kill him first!”

…

Sensing something was amiss.

They didn’t have time to overthink it, deciding to just crush him immediately.

Just a level 26 Necromancer—no matter how strange, what could he possibly do?

As they spoke.

The dozen-plus men began hurling their skills at Lu Ran.

“Damn it, aren’t you Onmyoji? Where are your Shikigami?” Lu Ran was somewhat exasperated.

No choice.

He kept summoning more Ancient Golems, and started tossing out Skeleton Soldiers too, gathering a dense crowd in front of him.

Sometimes, you have to push them a bit, or they’ll never take you seriously.

And as for those skills hitting Lu Ran, as you’d expect, the damage was all absorbed by the surrounding Ancient Golems and Skeleton Soldiers.

Lu Ran remained completely unharmed!

The talisman attacks, though, really annoyed Lu Ran.

“Pfft!” Lu Ran spat out the ashes from the mana-burned talisman residue in his mouth and cursed, “So damn annoying! You have Shikigami but don’t use them, just throwing damn talismans!”

Without further hesitation.

A horde of Skeleton Soldiers charged towards the group of Onmyoji.
The sight made their faces turn pale with alarm.

The guy on the outermost edge couldn’t hold back any longer, letting out a loud roar.

Boom!
A pot-bellied, stout, and short Shikigami appeared in front of him.

The Shikigami had reddish skin all over, with a long tongue lolling out.

It also wore a hat that looked somewhat comical.

“Aka-Shita, Monster type, skilled at controlling lightning,” Liu Xinxin immediately transmitted the info to Lu Ran via the team comms.

“Monster type, so that means Dark-type, right?” Lu Ran muttered.

Then, with a thought.

The group of Skeleton Soldiers preparing to rush in for Corpse Explosion immediately halted.

Lu Ran looked at the Aka-Shita. Sure enough!
A golden prompt appeared above the Aka-Shita’s head: Can Be Controlled!

Lu Ran’s eyes lit up!

Meanwhile, the dozen-plus men, faced with the dense crowd of Skeleton Soldiers and Ancient Golems, felt their scalps tingle!

“What the hell is this? So many summons!”

“This Necromancer is weird!”

“Doesn’t he have skill cooldowns? How can he summon like this?”

“Watch out for the Skeleton Soldiers’ Corpse Explosion! Even though his level is low, there are way too many skeletons!”

“Don’t hold back, everyone! Join forces to crush this kid, then break out!”

…

Following someone’s loud shout.

Immediately after.

Numerous Shikigami began popping up densely.

Each of the dozen-plus Onmyoji had one out.

Unlike the Summoner class, where the skills are identical and differences lie in preferred combat styles and synergy with handy summons.

The Shikigami summoned by Onmyoji were bizarre and wildly varied—a real mixed bag!
Some had butterfly wings.

Some had heads pointy like a broom.

Others were semi-transparent.

There were those holding lanterns, others carrying shovels, and even one with a paper umbrella on its head.

“Lantern Ghost, Green Imp, Lantern Boy, Tomb Raiding Brat, Paper Umbrella Monster… Except for one Koi Spirit whose quality is slightly better, the rest are all low-tier Shikigami, and all are Monster type. Lu Ran, can you control them?” Liu Xinxin had only glanced briefly before asking Lu Ran via the team comms immediately.

The other three guild leaders couldn’t help but look at Liu Xinxin in surprise.

They knew Liu Xinxin, despite her seemingly shy and introverted personality, was very meticulous and especially adept with data.

But they never expected she’d even have such comprehensive knowledge of the Japanese Shikigami, including some obscure, low-tier ones!

Lu Ran scanned them quickly.

He saw a golden prompt above every Shikigami’s head: Can Be Controlled!

A slight smile touched his lips.

He said, “Yes.”

At the same moment.

The dozen-plus men, having summoned their Shikigami, immediately launched their attacks on Lu Ran. Most directly commanded their Shikigami to pounce towards him.

The ranged Shikigami prepared to unleash their skills.

But the next second, Lu Ran’s gaze swept over them, and with a thought.

All the Shikigami instantly abandoned their attacks, standing still one by one.

“My Shikigami is out of control!”

“Dammit, mine too! I can’t communicate with it!”

“My skills aren’t working either!”

“This is too strange, too strange!”

…

But the real strangeness was yet to come!

The dozen-plus Shikigami suddenly turned around in unison, glaring fiercely at the group of Onmyoji who were originally their masters.

Under that gaze, every single Onmyoji felt their hair stand on end!
