Skills with no cooldown? I become the Undead Scourge! - Chapter 80

No sooner had he spoken than he noticed the playful smiles playing on the lips of the four guild leaders, making him want to curl his toes in embarrassment.

He hurriedly added, “I mean, this Carp Spirit really does have high quality, right? Xinxin-jie mentioned it earlier. The other Shikigami are pretty trash, so no need to keep them.”

Ye Hongyi patted Lu Ran’s shoulder.

She said slyly, “No need to explain, little brother. You’re growing up, and it’s understandable to have certain… preferences. But this mermaid does seem a bit troublesome to bring along; she’s too eye-catching.”

As soon as she finished speaking,

the Carp Spirit seemed to understand their meaning.

Her face showed anxiety. Unable to speak, her hovering body slowly descended, and her fish tail actually transformed into a pair of delicate feet, now standing on the soft sand.

Looking at her now, this Shikigami was exactly like a human girl!

Lu Ran stared at the slender, delicate feet, swallowed hard, and praised: “Food-grade!”

The other guild leaders raised their eyebrows.

They said with a laugh, “The Carp Spirit can do that? Well, that solves the problem then. Keep the Carp Spirit, kill the others.”

After disposing of the remaining trash Shikigami,

Liu Xinxin glanced at the Carp Spirit standing obediently by Lu Ran’s side.

She said, “This Carp Spirit’s quality is quite good. The Bubble Shield can not only block a significant amount of damage for you but can also be used to trap enemy units. It’s a kind of insurance.”

As she said this,

Liu Xinxin seemed to remember something and continued, “But you can just play around with these Japanese things. What I’m really looking forward to now is you controlling Nanami’s Shikigami. That would be a huge boost for you.”

Hearing this,

Lu Ran asked in surprise, “Xinxin-jie, do you know what Nanami’s Shikigami are?”

At that moment, Ye Hongyi, standing nearby, spoke up with a strange expression: “It’s not really a secret. I’ve fought Nanami before. Back then, she only had one Shikigami, an S-class fox demon, Tamamo-no-Mae.”

And since it’s a demon, Lu Ran can control it without distinction!

“Fortunately, it’s not a deity. If you directly control Nanami’s most reliable Shikigami, she’d probably be furious enough to cough up blood,” Yu Cangqiong couldn’t help but interject.

Lu Ran, however, was puzzled.

He asked, “Her most reliable one? Does Nanami have other Shikigami? Can Onmyoji control multiple Shikigami?”

Liu Xinxin explained: “The Onmyoji profession is different from others. When an Onmyoji awakens their class, they have a talent rating. The higher the talent rating, the more powerful the Shikigami they can contract, and the more Shikigami they can control. But typically, most Onmyoji can only control one Shikigami.”

As for Nanami, her talent rating is very high in Japan.

It’s practically the highest level!
“She can control at least three! And these three would be progressively more powerful!” Liu Xinxin added.

This was news to Lu Ran.

After all, the daily class materials at the academy didn’t cover the Onmyoji profession.

“So now we just hope that Nanami’s Shikigami are all of the demon type, not the deity type,” Lu Ran analyzed.

“That’s the idea. But don’t worry, deity-type Shikigami aren’t common. Even the Yamata no Orochi from Japanese legends is a demon type,” Liu Xinxin said.

Afterwards, the group returned to Blackfire City.

They planned to continue running dungeons.

Yu Cangqiong took the communicators from the dead Onmyoji to study them back at base.

But when Lu Ran and the others returned to the dungeon hall,

they noticed the atmosphere was a bit off.

Everyone was staring at the global ranking panel for the Endless Tower.

Lu Ran and the others instinctively looked up.

They were surprised to see that Nanami was still ranked first, but her cleared floor count had changed to 62!
Nanami had actually been attempting the 62nd floor of the Endless Tower just now?
“It seems our plan is working. What happened in the duel arena has intensified Nanami’s competitive spirit,” Liu Xinxin said with a smile.

“It’s not just competitiveness. In fact, Nanami started paying attention to Lu Ran two days ago,” Yu Cangqiong chimed in.

The others instinctively looked at Yu Cangqiong.

He explained: “I briefly checked the communicators from those Onmyoji. One of them had direct contact with Nanami. It’s certain that those people crossing the Forbidden Sea was on Nanami’s orders, aiming to investigate information related to the Necromancer.”

At that moment,

the noise in the dungeon hall was incessant.

“That Japanese bitch climbed another floor?”

“Is she crazy? She’s already on the 62nd floor!”

“Guild Leader Yu from the Heavenly Path Alliance is only on floor 59. He hasn’t been able to clear floor 60 for months.”

“Floor 60 is a major hurdle; it’s not that easy.”

“This Nanami has some skills. But she’s already first. Why take such a risk?”

“Needless to say, just look at the third-ranked necromancer who has hidden his information, don’t you understand?”

“She’s feeling the heat, haha…”

…

Meanwhile, on the other side,

in Japan’s dungeon hall, the atmosphere was celebratory.

“An absolute lead! President Nanami holds first place firmly, suppressing the entire world!”

“So what if the Yankees have Black Dragon equipment? They still can’t gain an advantage in the Endless Tower!”

“Even Yu Cangqiong has been suppressed, and not just once!”

“This is three whole floors beyond Yu Cangqiong! And starting from the major hurdle of floor 60!”

“I wonder if that Necromancer will keep going? He’s already third.”

“Keep going my ass. That Necromancer has hit his limit. Otherwise, why hasn’t he tried yet? Does he not want to?”

“That Necromancer performed well in the duel arena, but it might be different in the Endless Tower, especially after floor 60.”

“Yeah, the HP and attack of the Endless Tower bosses are much scarier than those Yankee professionals!”

…

Amidst the clamor of the crowd,

Nanami, wearing a veil, squeezed her way out.

Several attendants were waiting for her outside.

Seeing Nanami emerge, the attendants immediately gathered around.

But at this moment, Nanami looked extremely exhausted.

She glanced back at the global Endless Tower rankings. Seeing her floor count refreshed and one higher, she breathed a heavy sigh of relief.

Looking further down, the Necromancer still hadn’t attempted any further floors. Maybe he won’t continue?
“Clear time this run: 26 minutes, almost at the limit. Two pieces of my equipment broke and need repair. Prepare the materials for me,” Nanami instructed her attendants.

Then, though weak, she left the dungeon hall with a satisfied look on her face.

Her goal for the day was achieved, and seeing the Necromancer’s floor count unchanged was satisfying.

But as soon as she returned to the Chinashi Shrine,

she immediately received bad news.

“The people we sent across the Forbidden Sea are all dead,” reported the subordinate, their face grim.
