Necromancer Lords are Weak? Watch Me Recruit Fallen Deities! – Chapter 19

Ch 19: Lin Hongyu’s Despair

Now that the idea of transforming Mage Apprentices into Necromancers could be realized,

Shen Chi made up his mind and walked to the Mage Tower again.

“Continue!”

Recruiting a Tier 3 【Mage Apprentice】 costs 990 Spirit Crystals.

He currently had 28,863 Spirit Crystals.

Directly recruit 20 Mage Apprentices!

『You have successfully recruited 20 【Mage Apprentices】, consuming 19,800 Spirit Crystals!』

With some Spirit Crystals left, he had to save them in case they were needed later.

“Swish, swish, swish!”

On the empty ground in front of him, a thick light suddenly lit up and then fell.

20 Mage Apprentices appeared neatly in front of Shen Chi!

Shen Chi went straight forward:

“Undead Rebirth!”

Another large patch of green light emerged, enveloping the top of the Mage team.

A moment later.

『Your 20 【Mage Apprentices】 have successfully transformed into Tier 3 【Necromancers】!』

All the Mage Apprentices’ flesh rotted, leaving only eerie skeletons.

Success!

Now, his troop types were no longer just pure physical professions.

He also had magical units!

Shen Chi checked the Mage team.

The basic attributes were all very similar to the first Necromancer.

However, most of them only had two skills.

【Netherfire Ball】 was the most common.

A full 17 Necromancers possessed it.

【Ghoul Devour】, on the other hand, was only possessed by 5 Mages!

However, a new skill had appeared.

【Frost Mist Curse】

【Releases a cloud of frost mist. Enemies who enter the frost mist and stay for more than 12 seconds will be frozen. Enemies that are frozen will suffer impact and high burst damage and will shatter into countless fragments! Ineffective if the level difference is too large. Consumes Mental Energy: 8; Incantation: 10 seconds; Cooldown: 40 seconds】

Shen Chi’s eyes lit up.

Another clearing god skill.

If the range of this spell was large enough, it would be very effective against some simple-minded or slow-moving enemies.

Combined with impact damage or high burst damage, it could achieve a one-hit kill effect!

Even 【Ghoul Devour】 and 【Frost Mist Curse】 could cooperate with each other!

Using the explosive damage caused by 【Ghoul Devour】 to impact nearby enemies frozen into ice by the Frost Mist, the two combined would result in an extremely absurd clearing efficiency!

He was already looking forward to the Mage team shining in battle.

Shen Chi decided.

He would take the Mage team out to level up today!

However, before that, there was one more thing to do.

He had to go to the Ancient Battlefield today to recruit the remaining Pit-Bottom Skeletons.

◈◈◈

On an open highland in this area.

Stood a spire-topped tower.

Around the tower, there were charred corpses everywhere.

In front of the tower’s gate, a group of mages wearing robes and holding staffs stood neatly.

The leader was named Lin Hongyu.

He was another popular lord in this area besides Lu Feichen.

Having just finished the Novice Trial, he put away his spoils.

He only used 52 minutes for the first trial!

This result was definitely rare.

Lin Hongyu confidently believed that it should be so!

Having awakened the heaven-defying S-grade talent Blessing of the God of Magic and formed a team of Thunder Mages and Flame Mages.

A team of Tier 4 Mages from the start!

This made his confidence swell unprecedentedly.

With this configuration, he was aiming to take the first clear!

Before this.

He thought.

In this trial area, his only opponent was Lu Feichen, who also had an S-grade talent.

However, an unheard-of Shen Chi suddenly popped up.

Taking the first clear in less than half an hour!

And achieving results that he wouldn’t even dare to think about!

Lin Hongyu couldn’t believe it, but he also felt very uncomfortable.

He felt that the spotlight that should have belonged to him had been stolen.

However, on second thought.

He had triggered the Tier 2 trial difficulty.

Otherwise, he would definitely be able to complete the trial in less than half an hour!

He secretly thought that Shen Chi could not possibly be an S-grade talent.

S-grade talent holders must trigger the Tier 2 trial difficulty.

And with the monster configuration and scale of the Tier 2 difficulty increasing linearly, it was absolutely impossible for anyone to clear it in half an hour!

Even if there was, it was something that happened more than ten years ago, how could it happen around him?

He guessed that Shen Chi was just lucky enough to get the first clear in Tier 1 difficulty.

How could he compare to himself?

Comforting himself like this, Lin Hongyu felt much better.

In short, Lin Hongyu was unwilling to believe that anyone was stronger than him no matter what.

At this moment, he looked at his trial points, 12,487 points!

He cocked his mouth in satisfaction.

The points breaking ten thousand in the first round, it was estimated that anyone who saw it would be shocked for a while!

After all, most lords couldn’t get ten thousand points even after completing the seven-day trial.

He was about to click on the leaderboard to check his ranking.

He had a premonition that his score might be surpassed by Shen Chi.

Although he was Tier 2 difficulty, the points were doubled.

Shen Chi was only Tier 1 difficulty.

However, Shen Chi spent much less time, so the point coefficient was higher.

However, as long as the point difference wasn’t too large, Lin Hongyu could accept it.

It was just the first day’s first clear.

It didn’t explain anything.

The final trial total points were the key to competing for the Rookie King.

There were countless examples of those who took the first clear but eventually became mediocre.

Thinking like this, he clicked on the leaderboard.

Then, he saw…

【First place: Shen Chi; Points: 50256】

Lin Hongyu froze in place, as if struck by lightning, his face ashen!

◈◈◈

After the first round of trials, the chat channel quickly became lively.

Most of them were discussing the big shots on the leaderboard.

And Shen Chi was the absolute protagonist of the day!

A name that had no presence at all the day before!

Shen Chi’s 50,000 points undoubtedly shocked everyone.

Some of the lords in the top ranks, who were originally satisfied with their results, directly doubted their lives after seeing Shen Chi’s points.

Most of the lords with average results began to frantically praise Shen Chi!

『Damn! 50,000 points! Almost 40,000 points more than second place!』

『How did he do it, it’s too damn outrageous!』

『It’s just Tier 1 trial difficulty. I heard that the real big shots all triggered Tier 2 difficulty. Is this broken mechanism fair?』

『Wipe, is the brain upstairs okay, can Tier 1 trial difficulty get 50,000 points??』

『Can I apply to the system… The score is so fake, it’s impossible to think about it』

『Open it up, it must be opened up!』

『Fake your grandma’s hammer, can some of you sour grapes get out of here!』

『Laughing to death, some people think that others can’t do it if they can’t do it themselves? Open your dog eyes and look at the world』

『I declare that Shen Chi is the number one big shot in this area! Who agrees, who opposes』
