Skills with no cooldown? I become the Undead Scourge! - Chapter 97

This was destined to be an extraordinary day.

The mysterious Necromancer prodigy from Longxia had suppressed Nanami, claimed the top spot, and ignited heated discussions worldwide!
Of course.

For most other countries, it was merely a spectacle to watch.

Only for Sakura, a tiny island nation itself, which had finally managed to secure a global number one ranking.

Only to have it snatched away before it could even warm up, thoroughly humiliated by Longxia.

And the kicker was, it wasn’t even Yu Cangqing who had reclaimed the top spot.

If Yu Cangqing had been the one to surpass her again, it wouldn’t have sparked such a massive topic of discussion.

The one who suppressed Nanami was a conventional class Necromancer, under level 53 no less!
That was the biggest explosive point!

In all dungeon halls across Sakura, the atmosphere was oppressive, shrouded in gloom.

While in Longxia, the entire nation celebrated!

Half an hour later.

Nanami’s figure appeared in the Endless Tower’s teleportation array.

Several attendants, seeing her emerge, immediately rushed forward.

At the same time.

They looked up at the global ranking board for the Endless Tower.

Only to find the ranking list completely unchanged. Nanami’s clear floor was still the 62nd!
Still ranked below that Necromancer!

This meant Nanami had failed!

She hadn’t died on the 63rd floor of the Endless Tower, but after the half-hour time limit, she had been forcibly ejected!
Nanami’s face at this moment was extremely unpleasant.

Breathing heavily, it was clear the recent battle had been anything but easy.

Nanami instinctively glanced at the rankings.

Of course, she knew she hadn’t cleared it; the ranking wouldn’t change.

But it was just a reflexive action.

And this glance made the ranking seem even more glaring.

Then, Nanami turned, intending to try again.

“Guild Leader, you… you’re going to continue? Isn’t it too dangerous?” an attendant worriedly asked.

“Even at my worst, I’m not so poor as to die on the 63rd floor. In the last battle, I was careless in some areas. I can improve. There’s a chance, there must be a chance!” Nanami seemed to be explaining, yet also muttering to herself.

Having said that.

She hesitated no longer, her figure disappearing into the Endless Tower’s teleportation array.

On the other side.

Lu Ran and the others were in the Misty Barrier Valley, with Wei Yingying again responsible for maintaining the barrier at the valley entrance, forbidding anyone from approaching.

Lu Ran’s experience points soared, getting closer and closer to level 30.

Wei Yingying watched intently the entire time. This miraculous, almost divine way of grinding monsters was endlessly fascinating.

At that moment.

Ding~
Wei Yingying’s communicator received a message.

She casually opened it to look.

“Gu Sorceress, several of our Gu Masters who were out have suddenly lost contact. Their communicators have gone offline. Suspected deceased.”

Huh?
Wei Yingying was taken aback.

As a Gu Sorceress, she had to be concerned about the safety of the Gu Masters under her management.

She immediately replied: “When did this happen? Was any message sent back?”

The other party replied: “Just now. No messages were received. Currently, it’s only that their communicators are offline. It’s uncertain if they are in stealth mode or deceased.”

Wei Yingying’s brow furrowed tightly.

That was true, but who on earth would just idle around with their communicator in stealth mode?
A communicator going offline most often meant the other party was already dead!

Wei Yingying continued asking: “What are the specific details?”

The reply came: “Six people in total, all Gu Masters from the Miao branch. They reported in this morning and then went out to collect specific poisonous insects. Just now, someone noticed their communicators collectively went offline, so the news was immediately reported to you.”

Wei Yingying’s expression visibly darkened further.
Because although most Gu Masters from the Miao branch weren’t high-level, their outings were usually for simple tasks.

Collecting specific poisonous insects for Gu refinement was normal. The task areas were often very safe, with no high-level wild monsters present.

For a collective death without even a message being sent back was simply impossible!

Unless there was some means, or a high-combat professional instantly suppressed and killed them all, preventing them from sending any messages!

Moreover, this wasn’t something a single high-combat professional could easily achieve.

Of course, this was just Wei Yingying’s speculation.

In the Southern Frontier, aside from people from the Miao Village, outsiders rarely appeared. Those high-level professionals had little reason to idly venture deep into the Southern Frontier.

“Location? Where is the task area?” Wei Yingying asked.

“Collection Point Sixteen, near the border,” came the reply.

“Send someone to investigate,” Wei Yingying said after a moment’s thought.

Meanwhile, in Sakura.

Nanami emerged from her second attempt.

This time, Nanami was even more disheveled.

Of course, the ranking still hadn’t changed at all.

Once again, she failed within the half-hour limit!
“Two pieces of equipment are damaged. Where are the prepared repair materials? Fix them immediately!” Nanami directly ordered her attendants.

Then she muttered to herself: “Mistakes, still mistakes! Mistakes that shouldn’t have happened!”

After the equipment was repaired, she entered again.

But the result was the same: forcibly ejected after half an hour.

Then came the fourth, fifth, sixth attempts…

Nanami didn’t even stop for lunch.

At 2 PM, the ninth attempt.

Twenty-nine minutes after Nanami entered the 63rd floor of the Endless Tower.

As Nanami emerged from the dungeon.

The global ranking for the Endless Tower refreshed and changed once more.

Nanami’s floor count became 63!
She had successfully pulled the Necromancer down again, reclaiming the number one spot for herself.

Upon emerging.

Nanami excitedly stared at the global ranking panel, her eyes bloodshot.

“It’s back, it’s back! The top spot is ultimately mine, mine!” Nanami laughed excitedly.

The attendants around her finally let their hanging hearts settle.

But one attendant, lacking tact, spoke up beside her: “Guild Leader, what if that Necromancer goes and clears the 63rd floor again tonight? This time you used twenty-nine minutes. If you attempt the 64th floor, there’s almost no chance of clearing…”

Before finishing, feeling Nanami’s icy, piercing gaze, she immediately didn’t dare continue, shutting her mouth.

Nanami’s earlier excitement vanished without a trace in an instant.

Yes.

Although she had regained first place, it had been extremely difficult.

Attempting the 64th floor held almost no possibility of success; it was very dangerous!

If that Necromancer continued to push floors and could clear them, then Nanami truly would have no recourse!
“It’s not that easy to clear. If I struggled, he definitely didn’t have it easy either! This is a game of strategy. Who is stronger and who is weaker is not yet decided!” Nanami said through gritted teeth.

Little did she imagine.

The perilous 63rd floor, which was so treacherous for her, was as simple as drinking water for Lu Ran!
And on the other side.

Inside the Misty Barrier Valley.

Lu Ran had deliberately accelerated his monster-grinding pace today. Together with Wei Yingying, they had used maps to precisely determine the valley’s boundaries, shape, etc., allowing his skills to cover a larger area and yield more experience!

Not long after Nanami cleared the 63rd floor.

Lu Ran finally received the wonderful prompt:
[Level successfully increased to 30!]
