Chapter 50
The Second Stage, Increased Difficulty

Lin Mo Yu’s heart trembled. The skeletal warriors formed a shield-shaped defensive line, like a stack of blocks, firmly protecting Lin Mo Yu.

Fireballs like meteorites slammed into the skeletal warriors, exploding into a spectacular display of sparks.

Lin Mo Yu knew his weakness very well.

His physique was too weak. If he were to take a powerful attack, a massive amount of damage would transfer to the skeletal warriors.

This would result in severe damage to the skeletal warriors.

However, the outcome would be entirely different if the skeletal warriors were to take the hit for him.

With their powerful physique and extremely high defense, the skeletal warriors could almost ignore such insignificant damage.

Standing behind the skeletal warriors, Lin Mo Yu’s gaze fell upon the approaching beastman army.

A group of Felin beastman mages waved their staffs, unleashing a rain of fire.

A large number of Felin beastman warriors charged towards him, wielding their weapons.

These creatures appeared silently, without any warning.

A curve formed at the corner of Lin Mo Yu’s lips.

No matter how they appeared, as long as they weren’t waiting for their respawn.

The mage monsters continued to release their skills, a relentless rain of fire filling the sky.

To ensure his safety, Lin Mo Yu deployed 10 skeletons to form a shield, blocking the mages' attacks.

At the same time, he sent out another 10 skeletons to engage the beastman warriors.

“Skill!”

With a mental command, the skeletal warriors’ hands glowed red.

Berserk Strike!

With the skeletal warriors' astounding strength stat of 5000, the skill doubled their attack power.

The Felin beastman warriors were instantly killed.

Lin Mo Yu’s palm glowed.

A deafening roar echoed.

The corpses exploded and the blast spread wildly.

The Felin beastman warriors fell like wheat before a scythe.

In mere seconds, over a hundred Felin beastman warriors were dead.

The 10 skeletal warriors charged towards the Felin beastman mages like lightning.

Their 5000 agility points granted them incredible speed.

The huge attribute gap made the skeletal warriors appear as mere phantoms in Lin Mo Yu’s eyes.

In the blink of an eye, the skeletal warriors had crossed dozens of meters and stood before the Felin beastman mages.

With a flick of their blades, they killed one mage after another with each swing.

The mages’ physique was weaker than the warriors, making them perfect targets for the skeletal warriors' one-hit kills.

The rain of fire vanished, and everything returned to a peaceful state.

While things were peaceful for Lin Mo Yu, the several examiners in the Trial Tower's control room remained wide-eyed.

Lin Mo Yu’s score paused for only a dozen seconds before shooting up like a rocket again.

14605 points, in less than 10 seconds, his score increased by 6000 points.

This meant another 120 monsters had been killed by Lin Mo Yu.

These two incidents had already explained everything.

“This guy has a group attack skill.”

“This class is insane. His single-target skills are already broken, and his group attack skills are just as broken.”

“It’s not just the skills, his summons are powerful too.”

“I think this class has already surpassed legendary. It can rival those few top-tier classes.”

“We can’t say that for sure yet. After all, he’s still at a low level. We need to see how he does later on.”

Being strong at a low level doesn’t necessarily mean you’ll remain strong at a high level.

Being weak at a low level doesn’t necessarily mean you’ll be weak at a high level either.

Some classes are simply mediocre until they obtain a certain Divine Skill, at which point they become irreplaceable.

There’s a class that seems useless in everyday life.

But once war breaks out, it becomes a god-like existence.

All its skills are legion-level group skills.

The existence of this class in a legion would double the entire legion’s combat strength.

Lin Mo Yu was unaware of the examiners’ thoughts.

At this moment, he heard a deafening roar.

The entire earth trembled several times, as if an earthquake had struck.

The corpses disappeared with the tremors, as if swallowed by the earth.

Invisible gas emanated from the earth, the air became more bloody, even carrying a stench of corpses.

It made one want to vomit.

The sky became even darker and more oppressive.

The air was so heavy that it felt impossible to breathe.

“Second stage.”

Lin Mo Yu gazed at the sky.

He seemed to be well adapted to this aura, feeling no aversion towards it.

Perhaps it was related to his class.

The aura of death didn’t make him feel uncomfortable.

He only disliked the increasingly pungent odor.

The earth tremors gradually subsided. Lin Mo Yu ordered the skeletal warriors to surround him and stay vigilant.

A few seconds later, footsteps echoed.

“They’re coming!”

Lin Mo Yu said to himself.

Suddenly, a large number of monsters appeared from all directions.

They emerged from all sides, forming small teams of five monsters each.

【Felin Beastman Warrior】

【Level: 16】

【Felin Beastman Archer】

【Level: 16】

Each team had a 3:2 ratio, 3 warriors and 2 archers.

Both the warriors and archers were level 16.

At least 40 teams were scattered around him.

From a distance, Lin Mo Yu looked like he was surrounded by a sea of monsters.

After entering the second stage, not only had the monsters’ levels increased by one, their numbers had also doubled.

Lin Mo Yu was not worried about this.

To him, level 16 monsters were nothing.

Even without Corpse Explosion, just 20 skeletal warriors could kill all these creatures in time.

He was contemplating another issue.

“Based on this difficulty, it’s going to be hard for other classes to get past the second stage.”

“Even if they can, it will take them a lot of time.”

The first stage’s difficulty didn’t seem very high in Lin Mo Yu’s eyes.

As long as they put in some effort, most class users could pass it.

The second stage was much harder. Just a level increase and a doubling of the monster count, those two changes alone were enough to increase the difficulty several times.

Adding to that, archers had appeared. Archers are known as the nemesis of mages.

This change would make most mage-type class users turn tail and run.
