Skills with no cooldown? I become the Undead Scourge! - Chapter 94

Time passed minute by minute.

Nanami watched the utterly motionless global Endless Tower rankings.

While she felt a sense of relief, she was still worried the Necromancer might launch a sudden assault.

After all.

Based on his suppression in the Deathmatch Arena, even without knowing his exact strength, it was definitely nothing to scoff at!

Her maid beside her watched Nanami cautiously.

She said, “President, shall we continue watching? Quite some time has passed already.”

Nanami pondered and then shook her head.

“Let’s forget it. He might not be climbing tonight. I’m already very surprised he passed the 60th floor. Even if he can’t pass the 61st, I can understand. I’ve fought it myself; I know how difficult it is.”

After speaking.

She glanced down at the Eight-Eyed Raven Umbrella in her hand.

If she hadn’t paid a great price to obtain the Eight-Eyed Raven Umbrella, she couldn’t have reached the 62nd floor either.

And now.

That Necromancer was on the 60th floor, only two floors away from her!

With that, Nanami waved her hand. “Let’s go, we’ll head back…”

Before she could even finish her sentence.

The entire dungeon hall suddenly erupted in commotion.

“He’s here! He’s here! The Dragon Summer Necromancer is on the 61st floor!”

“Better late than never! Hail the Necromancer!”

“Dammit, that’s a Dragon Summer citizen, hail nothing, you idiot!”

“Only one floor away from Nanami now?”

“Oh my god, this Necromancer is aiming for the heavens!”

…

Nanami’s face slightly changed color. She snapped her head up to look at the ranking panel.

A single glance confirmed it.

That Necromancer was still in second place, but his floor count had refreshed to 61!
And now, ranked above him was Nanami on the 62nd floor!

Nanami took a deep breath, forcefully suppressing the restlessness and unease in her heart.

Her once absolute advantage had been rapidly eroded in such a short time, nipping at her heels!
“Damn it, he actually passed the 61st floor!” Nanami said through gritted teeth.

What frustrated Nanami the most was…

This Necromancer wasn’t attempting to climb the Endless Tower floors in the normal way.

Instead, it was one floor at a time, one in the morning, one in the evening, gradually closing in!

It was as if he was just habitually climbing one floor every morning and evening!
It didn’t seem at all like the result of a desperate, life-risking push!
Over the years.

Nanami had seen far too many big shots make a brief appearance on the global Endless Tower rankings only to die because they tried to climb higher!

But this Necromancer seemed more like he was playing around!
Yes, precisely like he was playing!
“Is he targeting me specifically?” Nanami murmured as if to herself.

All of this.

Started right after she suppressed Yu Cangqiong and surpassed him by two floors.

Then this Necromancer immediately popped up!
And now, even Yu Cangqiong hadn’t continued climbing, yet this Necromancer was step-by-step applying pressure!
To make matters worse, he had hidden all his information. Those question marks on the ranking list made Nanami’s heart palpitate with unease.

“It’s a shame we don’t know how long he took for the 61st floor, and how that compares to my time when I challenged it…” Nanami was curious.

But there was no way to know the result.

If she knew Lu Ran had only taken a few seconds to clear the 61st floor, one wonders what she would think.

“It’s fine. Once he passes the 62nd floor, we’ll know if his clear speed is faster than mine.” Nanami mused thoughtfully.

The maid beside her was startled.

She hurriedly asked, “President, you think he might pass the 62nd floor?”

Nanami glanced at the ranking.

She said calmly, “Based on the current situation, it’s very possible. I must prepare. No matter what, I cannot let him surpass me! He’s merely a Necromancer, a conventional class, a profession that has never appeared in the Endless Tower before!”

Being surpassed by a Necromancer would be an absolute disgrace!

Most crucially, this Necromancer was from Dragon Summer, and his level was still under 53!
After speaking.

Nanami turned and left resolutely, her face filled with determination, ready to face death if necessary!
The maid quickly followed behind.

It seemed Liu Xinxin’s strategy was very successful!

Nanami was now being forced into an awkward position.

The honor of being globally ranked first in the Endless Tower, which she had just obtained, would be stripped away once that Necromancer surpassed her!
No one would remember her brief time at the top.

Instead, they would remember that Sakura’s top Onmyōji was brutally suppressed by a Necromancer!

Meanwhile.

In the deserted dungeon hall of Jiuyou City, only the three guild leaders were present.

When Lu Ran came out.

He glanced at the ranking on the panel and said, “All done. Shall we go eat at the village now?”

Ye Hongyi nodded with satisfaction. “You probably haven’t tried the local cuisine here yet. Also, even the recipe formulas known by Life-skill Chefs in the Southern Border are very different from those in Blackfire City. Since Wei Yingying had it prepared, it’s bound to be excellent. We should all try it.”

With that, the group cheerfully headed out.

Liu Xinxin then asked, “Lu Ran, you’ll be able to pass the 62nd floor tomorrow morning. If Nanami doesn’t pass the 63rd floor tonight, your clear time for the 62nd will definitely be faster than hers. You can crush her beneath your feet tomorrow morning. Any plans after that?”

Plans?

Lu Ran was taken aback.

He thought for a moment and said, “No concrete plans for now. Should I continue with one floor in the morning and one in the evening?”

Liu Xinxin shook her head. “That method was just to pressure Nanami. If you surpass her and she hasn’t lost her mind recklessly seeking death, then there’s no need to continue like that. You can do as you please then.”

“Do as I please…” Lu Ran muttered.

“Yes. Even without using the Charged Blood Spear, you can climb floors normally now. You can attempt whichever floor you want. Even if you can’t pass it, you won’t die; you’ll just be ejected from the Endless Tower after holding out for half an hour,” Liu Xinxin explained.

The Charged Blood Spear was primarily for suppressing other players on the same floor.

But for normal climbing, the damage from the combination of Lu Ran’s Infinite Corpse Explosion and Bone Storm was more terrifying than any damage output from standard skill rotations!
And it required no concern for movement, combat rhythm, or any danger—just control the boss with Death’s Caress and unleash full power!
“Then I have an idea. Once I surpass Nanami, I’ll push the floor count so high they won’t catch up for a year! And there’s a huge wave of experience too!” Lu Ran said excitedly.

He had wanted to do this for a long time.

Now that Liu Xinxin mentioned it, Lu Ran immediately got excited.

“Haha… That sounds perfect. My little brother will be dominating one of the global leaderboards. Looking forward to you dominating all the global rankings,” Ye Hongyi said with a hearty laugh.

Lei Tai watched from the side, his face full of envy.

For him, an Earth Knight, reaching his current level was pretty much the limit.

But compared to Lu Ran, who was still in his twenties level-wise, the difference was like heaven and earth!
