Chapter 245
The leading knight let out a roar.
Its Group Protection skill was activated, forming a shield that blocked the first wave of attacks.
A Detection Spell had already landed on it first.
The leading Dragon race knight was Level 50.
It was a full 20 levels higher than Lin Moyu, and the innate advantages of Dragon race Professionals made them a level above human Professionals of the same tier.
Although it seemed strong, it was nothing in front of Lin Moyu.
No matter how strong such a team was, they couldn't be stronger than the Soul-Eater Insect King.
Even the Soul-Eater Insect King was only fit to be slaughtered before the Undead Legion, let alone them.
The skeletons' Landslide-and-tsunami-like attacks completely dazed them.
There was clearly only one person, with only two skeletons by his side.
How did so many skeletons suddenly appear?
The Dragon race Professionals had not witnessed the previous great battle at all.
They had only arrived when the secret realm disappeared and Lin Moyu obtained the Primordial Rune.
They instinctively thought Lin Moyu was just lucky.
Then, they were blinded by their greed for the Primordial Rune.
Even the failed sneak attack, which resulted in them being instantly heavily wounded by Lin Moyu, failed to make them realize the truth.
Since that was the case, their end was already decided.
In the Ancient Battlefield, once you lose your composure, the outcome is often death.
The Skeleton Mages' second round of attacks arrived, and the Skeleton Warriors unleashed their skills at the same time.
Like shattering glass, the knight's Group Protection was instantly shattered.
Skill: Damage Curse!
Even though the Dragon race had an innate advantage in Curse resistance, the Damage Curse, amplified by his talent, could still increase damage by over 100%.
The moment the Group Protection was broken, the knight instinctively activated Ultimate Defense.
At the same time, it let out a roar, its entire body radiating a brilliant glow.
The light enveloped the entire team, and all spell attacks flew toward it.
Skill: Firepower Attraction!
A high-level skill of a Level 50 knight, which could attract all enemy ranged attacks to itself.
Then, it continued to cast skills.
Skill: Group Taunt!
A faint light rose above the heads of the hundreds of surrounding skeletons. Affected by the skill, the skeletons collectively targeted the Dragon race knight.
In less than a second, it had cast three skills in rapid succession.
The Dragon race knight used itself as a meat shield, drawing the vast majority of the firepower.
Watching this, Lin Moyu had to admit that it was indeed an excellent and qualified knight.
With Ultimate Defense activated, its defense was outrageously strong.
Even the concentrated fire of a thousand Skeleton Mages landing on it could only deal minor damage.
However, under such a powerful offensive, the duration of Ultimate Defense was drastically shortened.
It worked very hard, disregarding its own life.
To buy time for its teammates.
Unfortunately, it was useless.
The Skeleton Warriors could indeed be affected by skills, but they could also switch targets under new orders.
Sure enough, the Lich General quickly issued a new command.
The Skeleton Warriors shifted their targets again, resuming their attacks on the other Dragon race Professionals and ignoring the knight.
A mage in the Dragon race team slammed their staff into the ground.
Skill: Landslide!
The ground exploded.
The ground, which was already scarred from explosions, collapsed once more.
The Skeleton Warriors lost their footing and fell down one after another.
This bought them some time.
"Go!"
The Dragon race knight roared, attempting to break out of the encirclement.
By now, they had snapped out of it, realizing it was impossible to snatch the Primordial Rune from Lin Moyu.
Now, they only wished to escape and save their lives.
The sky suddenly darkened as a large number of Skeleton Warriors leaped into the air, raining down from above.
Even more Skeleton Warriors jumped over from all directions.
The Skeleton Warriors' agility attribute was as high as 50,000, and with status buffs, they were even faster than them.
With a buzz,
Lin Moyu switched the Damage Curse to a Slow Curse.
The Dragon race Professionals slowed down.
Escape? Not a chance.
Under the Curse, the assassin found it difficult to escape using stealth.
Even if they entered stealth, the Curse indicator above their heads would still remain.
They still couldn't escape the skeletons' attacks.
There were a total of three mages in their team.
They unleashed their skills one after another.
A rain of fire poured down from the sky.
A large number of tornadoes appeared all around.
The ice storm seemed ready to freeze heaven and earth.
The Dragon race Professionals fought back desperately.
Unfortunately, against the Undead Legion, which could heal and remove crowd control, it was completely futile.
The twelve-man Dragon race Professional team consisted of one knight, one Support, two Healers, one assassin, four warriors, and three mages.
It was a fairly standard combat-mage team.
At this moment, the warriors and the knight surrounded the mages and the Support, struggling to fend off the skeletons' attacks.
The Support kept healing them.
The assassin tried to break out several times, but not only did they fail, they also got injured.
The outcome of the battle was decided from the very beginning.
However, Lin Moyu did not want to waste too much time.
He also joined the fray.
Locking onto the assassin.
Soul Fire blazed in his palm.
With a buzz, the Curse shifted again.
Once again, it changed from the Slow Curse to the Damage Curse.
The sudden change in speed caught the Dragon race Professionals off guard.
At the same time, the Dragon race assassin let out an earth-shattering scream.
The excruciating pain of the Soul Fire was unbearable.
The Support quickly cast a heal.
Lin Moyu cast Soul Fire continuously.
The assassin screamed incessantly.
One Support had no choice but to keep healing it; otherwise, the assassin wouldn't last five seconds before being killed by Lin Moyu.
Used for single-target kills, Soul Fire was incredibly powerful.
Lin Moyu firmly tied down one Healer.
The pressure on the other Healer suddenly surged.
The Dragon race knight's Firepower Attraction skill finally ended.
The Skeleton Mages focused their fire to burst down a single target, and their target was the assassin.
The assassin, who was already on the verge of death from the torment, was suddenly hit by the concentrated fire and instantly found release.
Skill: Corpse Explosion!
Boom!
The explosion was deafening.
The powerful wind scraped against their scales like knives.
Except for the knight and the four warriors, everyone in the team was instantly killed.
"What happened?!"
"How did they all die?!"
The knight and the warriors hadn't even realized what had happened.
Their teammates were already all dead.
Then, the sound of explosions rang out again.
One after another.
After four consecutive explosions, the four warriors were also dead.
Only the knight was left.
The Ultimate Defense on the knight had completely collapsed; it was heavily wounded all over, with only its last breath remaining.
A red light flashed before its eyes.
A Skeleton Warrior landed the finishing blow.
Filled with resentment, it collapsed and died.
Lin Moyu's gaze was calm, as if he had done something completely insignificant.
The entire battle lasted less than a minute from start to finish.
Compared to a battle with a world-class boss, it was a world of difference.
The military badge glowed with a pure white light once again.
The sixth and seventh stars appeared one after another.
Killing 12 high-level Dragon race Professionals increased his military merits by 12,000.
With his total military merits reaching exactly 70,000, Lin Moyu naturally became a seven-star second lieutenant.
The Skeleton Warriors quickly stripped them of their equipment, then vanished.
Only two Skeleton Warriors remained by Lin Moyu's side.
