Chapter 60: The Unparalleled Power of the Necrotic Realm! Commanding the Plague!
Page (1/3)
Such a summonable creature with growth potential—Lin Yi could tell just by thinking about it that once raised, it would be extraordinarily powerful beyond measure.
Across the entire Blue Star, items capable of growth were treasured immensely.
There was also a crucial factor: the timing of acquiring such growth-type skills or summons was extremely important.
If one obtained such an item only after reaching a high rank, it would feel bland to use and wasteful to discard, because a great deal of time would still be needed to nurture it from a low level.
Although Lin Yi’s combat power was currently explosive, he had only just reached the second rank in his profession.
Obtaining this summon now meant it could grow alongside him.
After a brief moment of contemplation and without much hesitation, Lin Yi spent another 500,000 skill points through microtransactions.
Then he selected “evolve.”
[ Ding! Congratulations! Consuming 500,000 skill points and 1,000,000 Daxia coins, your skill “Summon: Plague Overlord” has evolved into a new skill: “Command Plague, Necromancer Overlord!” ]
In the blink of an eye, Lin Yi’s account balance of over seven million Daxia coins was reduced to just over one million.
Money, oh money, truly impossible to resist spending!
Determined to claim the top scorer nationwide this time, Lin Yi vowed to wring every last bit of benefit from the nation.
Without a moment’s mourning for the lost wealth, Lin Yi planned to test the necromancer skill.
Because all the skill descriptions simply stated they summoned certain creatures to fight for him.
He had no idea about the actual strength, level, or abilities of these summons.
Under the influence of his seventh-rank passive skill “Divine Grace Chanting,” all skills below level five were instant cast, and with his current ample mana, Lin Yi waved his hand, and before him appeared three undead skeletal creatures of varying sizes, each differently equipped and classed.
Without the help of omniscient vision, Lin Yi could still check the stats of these three skeleton monsters.
[ Skeleton Soldier ]
[ Health: 1000 ]
[ Mana: None ]
[ Attack: 120 ]
[ Defense: 100 ]
[ Magic Resistance: 100 ]
[ Skills: None ]
[ Note: Lowest-tier grunts of the Plague Legion within the Necromancer realm. ]
——————————
[ Skeleton Warrior ]
[ Health: 3000 ]
[ Mana: None ]
[ Attack: 300 ]
[ Defense: 300 ]
[ Magic Resistance: 150 ]

[ Skills: Greatsword Slash ]
[ Note: The most common warrior within the Plague Legion. ]
——————————
[ Necromancer Mage ]
[ Health: 5000 ]
[ Mana: 10,000 ]
[ Attack: 800 ]
[ Defense: 200 ]
[ Magic Resistance: 500 ]
[ Skills: Cursed Arrow Rain, Soulfire Blaze, Banshee Wail ]
[ Note: Elite-level mage unit, masters various ranged magical attacks. ]
These three summons represented the first to third levels of necromancer summons.
Of course, the strongest was the skeleton mage.
Among its skills was one that could mentally intimidate enemy targets: Banshee Wail.
In Lin Yi’s view, besides the health bars hovering above these summons, there was a countdown bar steadily decreasing.
The fastest to diminish was the skeleton soldier’s.
After three minutes, when the countdown bar above the skeleton soldier reached zero, it crumbled into a pile of bones, and the blue ghost fire in its eye sockets dissipated completely.
So, these summons had a limited deployment time.
Once time expired, they would perish.
Lin Yi’s mind stirred.
The eighth-rank necromancer skill he had just obtained, similar to the Supreme Ascension, was a composite skill.
Besides actively summoning the Necromancer Overlord, it came with a passive effect: a summoning space of ten thousand cubic meters.
What would happen if he placed these summons into that space?
Without hesitation, Lin Yi summoned several low-level skeleton soldiers again, then transferred them along with the skeleton warriors and necromancer mages—whose countdown bars were already halfway gone—into the summoning space.
In the next moment, the skeleton monsters before Lin Yi vanished.
Simultaneously, a pathway appeared within Lin Yi’s consciousness.
Following this path, Lin Yi entered his exclusive necromancer summoning space purely in astral form.
Though ten thousand cubic meters wasn’t particularly large, one could see its entirety at a glance.
It was more than enough to house four or five skeleton monsters.
Sure enough, upon entering this space, Lin Yi noticed the countdown bars above these monsters not only stopped decreasing but quickly refilled!
After several tens of seconds, all three types of skeleton summons had their summoning time fully restored.
Lin Yi focused his thoughts.
In the next moment, the four or five skeleton monsters transferred back from the necromancer space into the real world.
Lin Yi’s eyes lit up.
Damn, this passive skill was incredible!
Extremely practical!

Lin Yi realized the true value of this necromancer space.
It allowed him to store an entire skeleton army within it!
When needed, there was no need to spend mana to summon new skeletons.
He could simply transfer them out from this space!
After testing this space’s function, Lin Yi sank his consciousness back into the necromancer space, eager to see if he could directly summon an undead legion within it.
This time, he summoned not low-level skeletons, but a sixth-rank necromancer summon: the Skeletal Dragon!
The mana cost and chanting time for a sixth-rank summon were much greater, but it seemed faster to chant in astral form within this necromancer space.
After a few seconds,
A necromantic magic circle emanating eerie black mist appeared upon the ground.
Then, a dragon’s claw, with only a few patches of flesh clinging to its snow-white bones, suddenly burst through the ice beneath this space!
Boom!
The dragon’s claw stomped on the ice, causing the entire space to tremble violently.
In the next moment, the massive skeletal dragon’s body emerged from the ice!
A terrifying skeletal dragon burned with cold soul flames appeared before Lin Yi’s astral form!
Its entire body was heavily decayed, with white dragon bones visible everywhere.
Its dragon wings were riddled with holes.
Lin Yi worried whether it could still fly in such a state.
Seemingly sensing his thoughts,
The skeletal dragon lifted its head and howled into the sky.
In the next moment, it spread its dragon wings.
The entire dragon took flight.
Lin Yi nodded.
Hmm, scientifically impossible, but this was magic.
Once the dragon took to the air, Lin Yi realized just how enormous it was.
From head to tail, it was estimated to be over forty meters long.
Its wingspan was nearly fifty meters.
At the same time, the dragon’s stats appeared before Lin Yi’s eyes.
