Five Skeleton Warriors were simultaneously enveloped by a skill, forcing them to switch targets and Charge toward the knight.

After being possessed, the knight did not retreat but advanced instead, launching a Charge skill toward the skeletons.

With a loud bang, the knight was knocked back.

The Skeleton Warriors also collectively paused for a moment before continuing their Charge.

A look of shock appeared on Nanako's face. "Mr. Lin's skeletons are truly formidable; even a knight possessed by the Giant Strength God was knocked back."

As she spoke, a light flickered on her middle finger. Skill: Possession Enhancement!

The aura on the knight strengthened once more, as if various status buffs had been applied.

Fully enhanced, the knight roared repeatedly and launched another fierce attack against the Skeleton Warriors.

He actually held off five Skeleton Warriors all by himself. Although he appeared to be struggling and was constantly retreating, he had indeed blocked them.

Such a skill was truly unprecedented. The Shrine Maiden profession of Sakura Country was very mysterious, and very few people had ever seen it.

No one understood Nanako's various skills. Seeing them now, the profession felt even more mysterious and eerie.

The gods she summoned were certainly not true gods. They were more like some kind of summoned beast, similar to the Shikigami of an Onmyoji.

Shikigami could fight independently and possessed various abilities.

As for what Nanako summoned, it could exist independently or merge with a Professional, greatly enhancing their strength.

This profession was very unique and powerful. There were many top-tier Professionals present, and upon seeing Nanako's class skills, they couldn't help but feel impressed.

If such skills were used on those top-tier Professionals, wouldn't it make them even stronger? Some people were already considering finding Nanako afterward to exchange ideas.

The knight blocked the Skeleton Warriors; under the Taunt skill, the Skeleton Warriors attacked the knight frantically, ignoring Nanako.

Nanako giggled, "It seems Mr. Lin's summoned creatures aren't very obedient."

Lin Moyu smiled slightly. Not obedient? That was just because he hadn't given them commands.

With a thought, the Skeleton Warriors currently surrounding the knight immediately shifted targets and lunged toward Nanako.

No matter how the knight used his Taunt skill, the Skeleton Warriors ignored him.

Nanako's expression changed drastically; she truly regretted provoking Lin Moyu.

She shouted sharply again, "God Possession."

The snake-bodied 'god' summoned first quickly merged into the mage's body. The mage, who had been keeping their head down the whole time, suddenly lifted their head, red light flashing in their eyes.

A ring of fire erupted in response, knocking all the Skeleton Warriors away. It was a Repulsion Fire Ring, but its power was greater than a standard Repulsion Fire Ring, clearly amplified.

Nanako used a skill again. A spider-like 'god' appeared above her head. Skill: God Possession!

Amidst her sharp shout, this spider god merged into the other mage's body. This mage's eyes glowed red as they raised their staff high. Gentle breezes blew out.

Skill: Wind Shackles. Shackles appeared one after another on the Skeleton Warriors, controlling them and preventing them from moving forward.

Everything happened in the blink of an eye. In the span of a moment, all five Skeleton Warriors had been controlled.

Nanako breathed a sigh of relief and giggled, "Mr. Lin, elemental attacks are ineffective, and the Skeleton Warriors are controlled. Do you have any other tricks?" "If not, then you have lost."

As she spoke, the knight was already charging toward Lin Moyu. In everyone's eyes, Lin Moyu was just a Summoner.

If a powerful knight were to Charge right in front of him, there would be no way out. Even if Lin Moyu still had three Skeleton Warriors he hadn't summoned yet, so what if he did? They would just be controlled and unable to play any role at all.

Many people felt that this time, Lin Moyu was truly finished. A victorious smile already hung on Nanako's face.

Suddenly, the arena was flooded with red light. Nanako's smile froze on her face.

Chapter 180: Underhanded Tricks, Not Worthy of the Stage

Lin Moyu's palm emitted a dazzling red glow. Skill: Slow Curse.

Whether it was Nanako, the knight, or even the mage and Archer in front of her, a red shackle appeared above all their heads.

With a full 40-fold speed reduction, the knight immediately began performing in slow motion.

Lin Moyu elegantly and naturally bypassed the knight and walked toward Nanako. The knight tried hard to turn his head; he wanted to turn around, but his speed was too slow.

By the time he finished turning, Lin Moyu had already walked over ten meters away. He couldn't catch up at all.

Nanako's smile froze on her face. It wasn't that she wanted it to be frozen, but she couldn't retract it.

Her attributes were not as strong as a Boss. Her original Agility was only a few hundred points. Now that she was cursed, she was truly slower than a turtle.

Her smile remained frozen, unable to be retracted. Facing the approaching Lin Moyu, no matter how anxious she felt inside, she simply couldn't make any reaction.

"What happened!" "What's wrong with Nanako?" "A Curse, this is a Curse. Their speed has been reduced, reduced by many times."

"Lin Moyu's profession is a Necromancer. Besides being able to summon, he is also a mage." "A mage who can use Curses—a terrifying profession!"

Another corner of the iceberg of Lin Moyu's class skills had been revealed. The Skeleton Warriors and Skeleton Mages were already powerful enough; if combined with Curse skills… it was simply terrifying.

Nanako's eyes were filled with anxiety. Facing the approaching Lin Moyu, she wanted to make the mage activate a skill and use Repulsion Fire Ring to knock Lin Moyu away.

However, her skills were very special and required hand seals. With her current speed being so slow, it would probably take more than a minute just to complete a set of hand seals.

If she couldn't perform hand seals, she couldn't use her skills, and she couldn't command the mages. The two mages possessed by 'gods' stood like puppets, motionless.

Not only were the mages motionless, but the Archer also kept their head bowed and eyes closed, showing no movement from beginning to end. People also discovered this anomaly.

"So these are all Nanako's puppets." "No wonder I felt something was off earlier; these people didn't look like normal people no matter how you looked at them."

"They aren't living people at all, but dead Professionals turned into puppets using special methods." "Hmph, underhanded tricks, not worthy of the stage."

"Sakura Country is just a small country after all, they can only come up with such shameful gadgets." There were many insightful people in the audience who immediately saw through the essence of Nanako's profession.

In reality, it was just using so-called 'gods' to control puppets. It was essentially a type of Summoner and didn't have much mystery to it.

Lin Moyu had already walked up to Nanako. Facing the terrified Nanako, he showed disdain. A Skeleton Warrior appeared in front of Nanako. Skill: Berserk Strike!

Red light flashed violently, and Nanako vanished from the arena, appearing directly below it. She had been eliminated.

The best way to deal with a Summoner is to eliminate the Summoner themselves. Lin Moyu knew this principle as well.

Then, the Skeleton Warriors were merciless, slashing them down one by one. Without Nanako's command and being slowed, these puppets had no power to resist. They were eliminated one after another.

The Archer puppet didn't even have a chance to make a move from start to finish. Nanako could only watch helplessly, unable to do anything. The look in her eyes as she gazed at Lin Moyu was filled with both hatred and fear.

If only she had brought a Healer, it wouldn't have ended like this. A Healer's Purification skill could remove Curses. But who could have imagined that Lin Moyu would actually be able to use Curse skills?

Another corner of the iceberg of the Necromancer had been revealed. Summoning and Curses, two major skill branches. People speculated one after another whether Lin Moyu might still have other hidden skills.

Lin Moyu won this match again. The second match was between a professional team from the Eagle Country and the team from the Shenxia Empire's Zhendan Academy.
