Chapter 229: Crimson Light Shooting Into The Sky; The Crimson Menace


    Apanied by a ng, the Bone Armor glowed brilliantly, blocking the dagger.


    Lin Moyu raised his hand, and red light shone in his palm.


    Skill: Slow Curse!


    Under the curse''s effect, the attacker was revealed instantly. It was a Dragonkind Assassin.


    The two nearby Skeletal Warriors, their soul fire aze, lunged forward with their des, but the nimble Dragonkind Assassin quickly retreated, evading their assault.


    The Dragonkind Assassin, naturally resistant to curses, wasn''t much affected by the Slow Curse.


    Skill: Bone Fangs!


    Lin Moyu pointed with his finger, and pale-white light exploded, followed by a torrent of 1,200 Bone Fangs.


    The Dragonkind Assassin, caught too close, was pierced by the Bone Fangs in a sh and sent flying backward, screaming in agony.While the Dragonkind Assassin was still in midair, the light from a Heal skill was already upon it.


    Looking up, Lin Moyu saw a party of Dragonkind ss users flying toward him at top speed.


    "Kill him!"


    The dozen Dragonkind ss users, surging with murderous intent, attacked him without hesitation.


    Crimson light rose from Lin Moyu''s body and shot into the sky, lingering there. Lin Moyu knew this light wouldst for a full 10 days.


    Bai Yiyuan had exined to him the rules of the Primordial Rune: acquiring the rune would trigger crimson light visible from thousands of kilometers away.


    Everyone in the Immemorial Battlefield that saw the crimson light would know that he had obtained the Primordial Rune and woulde to seize it. The only way to seize the Primordial Rune was by killing its holder, causing it to drop again.


    With the crimson light as guide, it would not be difficult to find the holder. During the period of 10 days, the holder would be a public enemy, having to face arge number of foes.


    After the 10 days were up and the crimson light had disappeared, only then would the holderpletely own the Primordial Rune.


    It wasn''t easy for any ss user to survive 10 days with a target painted on their back. Back in the day, even Bai Yiyuan had struggled quite a bit. And now it was Lin Moyu''s turn.


    "In that case, I''ll kill however manye at me!" Lin Moyu''s heart grew cold. He looked at the Dragonkind ss users rushing toward him, and a surge of murderous intent rose within him.


    The Dragonkind ss users were already close at hand. Lin Moyu could see the greed and ferocity in their eyes. In their eyes, the level 30 Lin Moyu was as insignificant as a pebble by the road.


    The undead legions that had been retrieved not long ago were released all at once. The skeletons instantly filled the entire field, surrounding the Dragonkind ss users.


    The Lich Generals raised their staves and applied status buffs. In an instant, white light shot forth, enhancing the skeletons.


    The Skeletal Warriors swung their des, while the Skeletal Mages unleashed a barrage of skills.


    The countenance of the Dragonkind ss users changed drastically, the sudden turn of events throwing them into a disarray.


    "Defense!" The leading Knight bellowed and activated the Mass Protection skill, forming a shield that blocked the first wave of attacks.


    At the same time, Lin Moyu had cast Detection on them.


    The leading Dragonkind Knight was level 50, a full 20 levels higher than Lin Moyu, and Dragonkind ss users were inherently stronger than human ss users of the same level.


    But in front of Lin Moyu, this seemingly powerful party of Dragonkind ss users was nothing. After all, no matter how strong they were, they were no match for the Soul Devour Insect King. Even the Soul Devour Insect King sumbed to the undead legions, let alone them.


    The massive assault of the skeletons left them stunned. Moments ago, there was only one person, with two skeletons by his side. Where did all these skeletonse from?


    These Dragonkind ss users hadn''t witnessed the previous battle. They only arrived as the secret realm disappeared, when Lin Moyu obtained the Primordial Rune, and instinctively assumed that Lin Moyu was just lucky.


    They were blinded by the allure of the Primordial Rune. And even though the ambush failed, and the Dragonkind Assassin was seriously injured, it still wasn''t enough to bring them rity. Since that was the case, the oue was already decided.


    On the Ancient Battlefield, losing yourposure often resulted in death.


    The Skeletal Mages unleashed their second wave of attacks, while the Skeletal Warriors unleashed their skill at the same time, and the Knight''s Mass Protection shattered like ss.


    Skill: Damage Curse!


    Despite the Dragonkind''s innate resistance to curses, the Damage Curse, amplified by Lin Moyu''s talent, still raised the damage by 100%.


    The instant the Mass Protection was broken, the Dragonkind Knight instinctively activated Extreme Defense. At the same time, the Dragonkind Knight roared furiously, radiating brilliant light from all over his body. The light enveloped his party and drew the magic attacks toward him.


    Skill: Drawing Fire!


    Drawing Fire was a level 50 Knight high-level skill that could redirect the enemy''s ranged attacks to the Knight.


    The Dragonkind Knight then followed up with another skill, and faint light appeared above the heads of the surrounding skeletons,pelling them to target him.


    Skill: Group Taunt!


    In less than one second, the Dragonkind Knight released three skills in a row. He acted as a tank and attracted the majority of the firepower.


    In Lin Moyu''s eyes, the Dragonkind Knight was indeed an excellent, qualified Knight. With Extreme Defense activated, it made the Dragonkind Knight an imprable fortress, hardly taking any damage from the 1,000 Skeletal Mages.


    Nevertheless, the powerful assault significantly shortened the duration of Extreme Defense. However, despite the Dragonkind Knight putting in a lot of effort to buy time for his party, it was all to no avail.


    Although the Skeletal Warriors were susceptible to skills, but if given new orders, they could shift targets. The Lich Generals quickly issued new orders, causing the Skeletal Warriors to change targets and attack the other Dragonkind ss users again, ignoring the Dragonkind Knight.


    A Dragonkind Mage mmed his stave into the ground.


    Skill: Landslide!


    The ground, ravaged by the battle, burst apart, causing the Skeletal Warriors to fall down, buying the Dragonkind ss users some time.


    "Run!" The Dragonkind Knight roared, spearheading an attempt to break through the encirclement.


    The Dragonkind ss users had finallye to their senses, realizing that it was impossible to snatch the Primordial Rune from Lin Moyu. Their only hope now was to run and escape with their lives.


    The sky darkened abruptly as a massive number of Skeletal Warriors leaped into the air, lunging at the Dragonkind ss users from all directions.


    The Skeletal Warriors, with their agility attribute of 50,000 and the status buffs, were far faster than the Dragonkind ss users.


    Along with a droning sound, Lin Moyu switched the Damage Curse for the Slow Curse, significantly reducing the speed of the Dragonkind ss users, making escape impossible.


    Under the effect of the curse, the Dragonkind Assassin couldn''t escape using Stealth. Even when it entered the stealth state, the curse pattern on its head remained, making it an easy target for the skeletons.


    The three Mages of the Dragonkind party unleashed a barrage of magic spells, and a rain of fire poured down, whirlwinds materialized around, and an icy storm threatened to freeze the world.


    The Dragonkind ss suers fought back with all their might, but against the undead legions that could heal and dispel control, their efforts were in vain.


    The Dragonkind ss user partyposed of one Knight, one support, two Healers, one Assassin, four Warriors, and three Mages—was a fairly standard Warrior-Mage party.


    The Warriors and Knight formed a circle around the Mages and supports, desperately defending them from the onught of skeletons, while the supports healed them continuously. The Assassin made repeated attempts to break through the encirclement, only to fail and sustain injuries instead.


    The battle''s oue was set in stone from the start. But Lin Moyu, not wanting to waste too much time, joined the fray and locked onto the Assassin.


    He raised his hand, and Soul ze ignited in his palm. Along with a droning sound, the curse was switched once more, changing back from the Slow Curse to the Damage Curse. The sudden change in speed caught the Dragonkind ss users off guard.


    At the same time, the Dragonkind Assassin let out ear-piercing screams, unable to bear Soul ze''s excruciating path. The support rushed to heal the Assassin. However, Lin Moyu cast Soul ze relentlessly.


    Consequently, a support was forced to focus solely on healing the Assassin. Otherwise, under Lin Moyu''s relentless assault, the Assassin would perish within five seconds.


    Soul ze was incredibly effective for attacking a single target. Lin Moyu effectively pinned down one of the Healers, putting immense pressure on the remaining one.


    The Dragonkind Knight''s Drawing Fire skill finally ended, and the Skeletal Mages focused their firepower on the Dragonkind Assassin, who was already in dire straights. The sudden burst of concentrated fire ended the Assassin''s misery in an instant.


    Skill: Corpse Explosion!


    Boom!


    The ensuing explosion was deafening, sending shock waves through the air, which felt like des against the scales.


    Apart from the Knight and four Warriors, the rest of the party was wiped out in an instant.


    "What happened?!"


    "They''re all dead?!"


    The remaining Knight and Warriors were still reeling from the shock, unable toprehend what happened. The rest of their party was wiped out.


    Another explosion ensued, followed by another and another. Four explosions rose in a row, iming the lives of the four Warriors, leaving only the Knight still alive.


    The Knight''s Extreme Defense had crumbled, leaving him severely injured and on the brink of death. Then, red light illuminated his vision, and a Skeletal Warrior delivered him the final blow. The Knight copsed to the ground, a shade of unwillingness on his face.


    Lin Moyu watched with indifferent eyes, as if it were a trivial matter.


    The entire battlested no more than a minute. Compared to the fight with the world rank boss, it was a breeze.


    The military badge released pure white light, and the sixth and seventh stars emerged one after another. Killing 12 high-level Dragonkind ss users increased Lin Moyu''s military merit by 12,000, bringing his total to 70,000 and promoting him to a seven-star lieutenant.


    The Skeletal Warriors quickly stripped the equipment from their fallen enemies before disappearing. Once again, only two Skeletal Warriors remained around Lin Moyu.


    A level 30 human Necromancer, apanied by two level 30 Skeletal Warriors, they looked weak and harmless. Any random monster on the Immemorial Battlefield could easily kill them.


    With the skeletons in tow, Lin Moyu left the devastated area.


    At this time, crimson light rose into the sky from him, illuminating the sky with a crimson hue. Lin Moyu was like a giant beacon, shining brightly wherever he went and visible from thousands of kilometers away.


    Shortly after he set out, footsteps could be heard approaching.


    "Junior!"


    A voice called out, and a group of people came running toward him.


    Lin Moyu stopped and looked over, noticing that the neers were dressed in a uniform, bearing the emblems of the emblems of Xiajing Academy''s Chuangshi Institute. Lin Moyu himself was also wearing the Xiajing Academy''s clothing, identifying them as fellow students...


    Despite this, Lin Moyu didn''t lower his guard.


    Bai Yiyuan had warned him that on the Immemorial Battlefield, no one could be fully trusted, including those of the same race and academy. You had to be on high alert at all times.


    On the Immemorial Battlefield, Lin Moyu couldn''t trust anyone else.
