Chapter 432: She Shouldn't Be a Knight, She Should Be a Gravekeeper

The Abyss Blade Demon and Abyss Sword Demon, trapped in the Skeletal Prison, watched helplessly as the Skeleton Berserkers' axes came down on them. 

They were not mere monsters; they were demons, capable of thinking, struggling, and feeling fear.

Fear rose in their eyes.

"Who is this? Why can't I move?"

Questions filled their minds, but there was no time to think.

If they continued to ponder, they would lose their lives.

The red glow on the Skeleton Berserkers' axes signaled a life-threatening danger.

With a series of loud bangs, the Abyss Blade Demon's arms exploded one by one.

Each explosion caused its body to tremble involuntarily, bringing immense pain.

The arms were not just weapons; after level 60, they served another purpose: life preservation.

When the arms exploded, a powerful force surged from its body.

After four arms exploded in succession, the Skeletal Prison shattered, and it regained its freedom.

At this moment, the Skeleton Berserkers' axes also arrived.

[Frenzied Strike (Level 2): Deals 600% of the user's strength as damage to the target. Cooldown: 10 minutes.]

The attributes of a level 50 Skeleton Berserker were incredibly strong.

With the talent enhancement, its strength attribute reached 252,000.

Adding the 50% enhancement from the Lich General, the strength attribute approached 380,000.

With a 600% increase from the skill, this strike was almost a guaranteed kill for the Abyss Blade Demon.

Sensing death, the Abyss Blade Demon raised its remaining arms, transforming them into large blades to block the attack.

The arms broke upon impact, and demon blood spurted like a fountain.

With a scream, it quickly fled into the sky, not daring to look back.

In its eyes, this level 50 individual was terrifying.

As for the Abyss Sword Demon, also trapped, the Abyss Blade Demon didn't care about it at all, adhering to the principle of "better you than me."

In the Abyss, the strong prey on the weak, and there are no friends.

As it flew away, it heard a scream and knew the Abyss Sword Demon was dead.

Terrified, it didn't dare to look back and kept flying.

Bang!

It felt like it hit a wall and was sent crashing back.

Looking up, it saw Lin Moyu standing in front of it, also wearing Skeletal Armor.

In its panic, the Abyss Blade Demon didn't realize it was cursed, slowing its speed significantly.

Now, it could only move at tens of meters per second.

Compared to Lin Moyu's 600 meters per second, it was no match.

In an instant, Lin Moyu caught up.

"You can't escape!"

Ten Skeleton Mages and ten Skeleton Archers appeared beside Lin Moyu.

At level 50, it was time to test the combat power of the Skeleton Mages and Archers.

The Skeleton Berserkers had already proven their strength by quickly killing the Abyss Sword Demon.

In the terrified eyes of the Abyss Blade Demon, elements exploded, and arrows pierced its body.

Already heavily injured, it screamed and fell from the sky.

Mid-fall, the second round of attacks arrived.

The skeletons didn't stop attacking just because it was falling.

During the fall, it endured three rounds of attacks from the Archers and two rounds of elemental explosions from the Mages.

By the time it hit the ground, it was dead.

In an instant, Lin Moyu had killed two demons. He then summoned a full undead army of 900 and charged at the boss.

[Core Stone Beast (Boss-level Monster)]

[Level: 60]

[Strength: 120,000]

[Agility: 40,000]

[Mental: 40,000]

[Constitution: 120,000]

[Skills: Full Power Strike, Earthquake]

[Traits: 40% Elemental Damage Reduction, 50% Physical Damage Reduction]

The boss was just an ordinary boss-level monster with a total attribute of 320,000, even lower than a level 55 Red Moon Demon.

Monsters above level 60 had significantly higher attributes, but this boss was just at level 60.

Facing such an ordinary boss, deploying a full undead army was giving it too much face.

Lin Moyu didn't even bother to watch the outcome and landed beside Mu Xianxian, "I saved you again. Last time was also in the core area."

Mu Xianxian, still immersed in joy, smiled when she heard Lin Moyu's words, "Thank you."

"Show some real gratitude," Lin Moyu said bluntly, "I need to go to the core area center. Will you accompany me?"

Mu Xianxian agreed without hesitation, "Sure, no problem."

Lin Moyu asked, "This time it might be dangerous. Aren't you afraid of dying?"

Mu Xianxian shook her head, "No, with you here, I won't die."

Lin Moyu chuckled, unsure if she was truly unafraid or just had too much faith in him.

[Killed Core Stone Beast, Experience +1,800,000]

[Obtained Core Sword]

[Obtained Core Sword through Collection Skill]

[Core Sword (Knight Exclusive): Platinum-grade weapon, All Attributes +2800, Knight Class Attack Skills +80%]

Both pieces of equipment were mediocre. Lin Moyu glanced at them and stored them away.

His standards had risen, and such items no longer interested him.

Mu Xianxian's eyes sparkled, "You've become so powerful."

She was still as pure as a blank sheet of paper, her emotions written all over her face.

She spoke her mind with sincerity.

Lin Moyu didn't bother with modesty, "Not bad. Do you need to rest?"

Mu Xianxian shook her head, "No need, I can rest while walking."

Her attributes leaned towards a warrior, with strong stamina and quick recovery.

Although she was slightly injured and exhausted, she had recovered significantly in just a few minutes.

As long as she didn't continue fighting, she would soon be fully recovered.

Lin Moyu decided not to fly. The core area wasn't suitable for flying.

This time, entering the core area was much easier than before.

Lin Moyu used only one undead army to clear the way, ignoring everything else.

Ordinary monsters in the core area couldn't stop the undead army.

Half a day later, Mu Xianxian was fully recovered.

She diligently performed her duties.

Fireworks from her Collection Skill lit up the core area.

"You don't have to do this. These ordinary monsters don't drop anything valuable."

Lin Moyu didn't care about the materials dropped by ordinary monsters.

After all, they were just level 60+ ordinary monsters, dropping at most some platinum-grade materials.

Mu Xianxian shook her head, "Every little bit counts. Sister Yeyu said we'll need a lot of money in the future."

"At level 60, we need to buy many intermediate skill scrolls. At levels 70 and 80, we need advanced skill scrolls."

"Otherwise, I can't awaken my skills."

Hearing this, Lin Moyu realized that Mu Xianxian's profession was also unique.

As a Collection Master, it was a niche profession with no corresponding mentor even at the Summer Capital Academy.

Like him, she relied on skill scrolls.

At level 70, without a profession upgrade, she would need advanced skill scrolls for level 70 skills.

Advanced skill scrolls cost 100 million each, a hefty price.

And it wasn't just one or two scrolls; it could be dozens or hundreds.

Lin Moyu asked, "Don't you resent them?"

"Them?" Mu Xianxian didn't understand at first, then realized who Lin Moyu meant.

She shook her head, "No, why would I resent them?"

"Jialan Yeyu had a chance to draw the Abyss Demons away, and as a knight, she had a better chance of survival than you."

"She might have planted a soul mark and could be resurrected if she died."

Lin Moyu thought for a moment and shared his thoughts.

Mu Xianxian shook her head vigorously, "It's different. Sister Yeyu is more capable of leading the team out of here."

"And I also have a soul mark. I can be resurrected if I die."

Lin Moyu was surprised to learn that Mu Xianxian also had a soul mark.

Planting a soul mark required significant resources, not something everyone could enjoy.

Only the most outstanding members of major families received soul marks.

Mu Xianxian explained, "I've been with Sister Yeyu since childhood. She helped me plant the soul mark."

Lin Moyu understood.

Mu Xianxian was not only pure but also kind-hearted.

She was a good girl.

Lin Moyu suddenly thought of a possibility, "Do you think they'll erect a tombstone for you?"

Mu Xianxian answered without hesitation, "Of course, Sister Yeyu will definitely do that."

Lin Moyu thought, Jialan Yeyu might have a penchant for erecting tombstones.

She shouldn't be a knight; she should be a gravekeeper.

Roar!

A giant boss appeared ahead, interrupting their conversation.
