37: Chapter 37 Resurrecting the Demon General!

"Wh-What is that?!"

Watching the various Death Soldier crawl out of the magic circles, Wei Xiaoxiao and Li Chenxu were shaken to their very cores.

They had thought that Lu Yin having thirty Death Soldier was already perverted enough.

They hadn't expected him to have been hiding his true strength all along.

"You!"

Ars looked at the dense swarm of Death Soldier surrounding him, his expression filled with panic.

In particular, a massive bone dragon among them gave him a great sense of crisis.

While escaping into the Abyssal Passage, he was unable to move, but he could still be attacked.

Ars had originally planned to tank two of Yarberna's attacks to successfully flee.

But now, he had lost his confidence.

"Don't think that having many summons can stop me! Low-tier summons can't possibly break through my defense!"

Ars remained stubborn; after all, his words held some truth.

Normally, even if Lu Yin's summons had a tenfold boost, there would still be an unbridgeable gap between them and him.

Hearing Ars's words, Lu Yin revealed a meaningful smile.

"Can't break through?"

In an instant, over a hundred skills transformed into a monstrous torrent, surging toward Ars.

Blood Pierce!

Dark Storm!

Death Corrosion!

Annihilation Beam!

...

Ars watched helplessly as the overwhelming torrent of skills surged toward him. He frantically channeled Abyssal Power, trying to accelerate his escape into the passage.

However, it was already too late.

Rumble!

Over a hundred skills bombarded Ars simultaneously, erupting in a deafening roar.

-15,432! -22,341! -18,975!

...

Dense damage numbers scrolled across the space above Ars's head like a waterfall. Although individual damage instances were nowhere near Yarberna's terrifying figures, the sheer volume was staggering.

"How is this possible... these low-tier summons..." Feeling his life force rapidly draining, Ars's voice was filled with utter horror.

"No! I am an Abyssal General! How could I lose to a Level 1 Professional!"

Ars roared frantically, the gem on his staff emitting a blinding red light as he attempted a final struggle.

But Yarberna would not give him any chance.

"Wrath of Protection!"

She leapt high into the air, the spikes on her giant hammer fully extending. Dark purple energy condensed to the extreme, resembling a small, pitch-black sun.

The giant hammer, carrying a world-destroying momentum, accurately struck Ars's position.

Boom!

Accompanied by a deafening sound, the entire temple seemed to tremble along with it.

-154,587!

Another terrifying seven-figure damage instance!

Ars let out a shrill scream as his body was smashed directly into the ground by the hammer, creating a deep pit.

Amidst the swirling dust, his health bar finally hit rock bottom.

"No! I won't!"

Ars struggled to lift his head, his crimson eyes staring fixedly at the slowly approaching Lu Yin.

Don't... don't think you can rest easy just because you killed me. Your information... has already been transmitted to the other Demon Generals by me."

"They... they will definitely avenge me!"

He hissed with his last bit of strength, his voice already broken and fragmented.

"Fine, I'll be waiting for them."

Lu Yin stood by the edge of the pit, looking down at the dying Abyssal General, that faint smile still hanging on the corner of his mouth.

The next second, the light in Ars's eyes quickly faded, and he finally lost all signs of life.

[Ding! You have killed Abyssal Demon General Ars. Experience points increased by 150,000!]

[Ding! Your level has increased to Level 14!]

[Death Space capacity increased. Current: 137/23!]

[Ding! Obtained loot: Calamity Staff, Calamity Armor, Shattered Abyssal Core, Demon General's Horn, Mental Storm Skill Book!]

[Ding! Obtained epic death soul x1!]

Looking at the system prompts, Lu Yin frowned slightly.

One hundred and fifty thousand experience points seemed like a lot, allowing him to jump four levels directly.

But in reality, killing monsters across too many levels actually results in an experience penalty.

If he had killed Ars at the same level, Lu Yin would surely have gained even more experience than this.

For instance, Wei Xiaoxiao and Li Chenxu nearby, although they hadn't dealt any damage to Ars...

...because they were in the same party as Lu Yin, they also received a massive amount of kill experience.

Golden light flashed repeatedly on their bodies as they both leveled up twice simultaneously.

Wei Xiaoxiao and Li Chenxu stood frozen in place, their bodies drenched in cold sweat as if they had just been fished out of water.

Their eyes were wide, their pupils reflecting the figure standing at the edge of the pit and the lifeless corpse of the Demon General.

"He... he really defeated an Abyssal Demon General..."

Wei Xiaoxiao's voice trembled so much she could barely form a complete sentence.

Li Chenxu swallowed hard, his Adam's apple bobbing up and down, unable to speak for a long time.

With Ars's death, the surrounding dark red light gradually faded away.

Lu Yin proceeded to check the rewards from killing the Demon General.

[Calamity Staff (Weapon)]

[Equipment Quality: Epic]

[Equipment Requirement: Lv7]

[Attack +300, Magic Attack +6,000]

[Strength +150, Constitution +2,000, Spirit +3,500]

[Effect: Source of Mana: Mana recovery speed increased by 3%. When mana is full, restores 0.1% of max HP per second.]

[Calamity Curse: Inflicts a curse on the target for 3 seconds. During this period, deals True Damage equal to 20% of Spirit per second. Cooldown: 30 minutes. Mana Cost: 1,000 points.]

[Calamity Armor (Armor)]

[Equipment Quality: Epic]

[Equipment Requirement: Lv7]

[Defense +1,000]

[Strength +350, Constitution +3,500]

[Effect: Source of Life: Life recovery speed increased by 3%.]

[Misfortune Feedback: When receiving a critical hit or control effect, immediately applies a Calamity Mark to the attacker. The mark lasts 15 seconds, reducing their Attack by 1% and Movement Speed by 15%.]

The grade and attributes of these two pieces of equipment were quite good. If listed at the Professional Association, they should fetch a very considerable price.

As for the Shattered Abyssal Core and the Demon General's Horn, they were forging materials.

Though valuable, if handed over to the military, they could be exchanged for a large amount of Merit.

Merit was an extremely precious thing in the military.

It could be used to exchange for many rare items in the military treasury that couldn't be bought on the market.

Professionals who chose to join the military usually valued this point.

As for that skill book, Lu Yin could actually learn it.

Mental Storm was an area-of-effect skill that could improve his own efficiency in clearing mobs.

Although he didn't need to lift a finger to clear dungeons, having an extra skill was always good preparation.

After pocketing all the loot, Lu Yin's gaze turned toward Ars's corpse in the pit.

"Rise..."

Lu Yin's voice was low and majestic, echoing in the empty temple as the epic death soul merged into the body.

The next second, Ars's corpse suddenly twitched violently.

His eyes, which had been dim and lightless, snapped open, soul fire burning with a ghostly blue light within the pupils.

He slowly stood up from the pit, the wounds on his body healing at a speed visible to the naked eye.

His skin turned grayish-white, emitting a dense aura of death.

[Ding! Successfully resurrected Soldier of Death: Abyssal Demon General Ars!]
