Chapter 10: Solo Dungeon Run, Astonishing Strength!

"Our equipment is too poor! The damage we're dealing isn't even enough to draw the monster's aggro!"

"What are we going to do?"

Just as the three girls in the back were stamping their feet in anxiety and Tianxuan Zongheng at the front was becoming increasingly overwhelmed by the siege of three Moon Demons, the situation took a turn.

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!

From all directions, dozens of three-meter-high shadow vortices erupted simultaneously!

This sudden spectacle caused the group of "opportunists" approaching from behind to stop in their tracks in haste.

The assassin Moon Demon Old Three exclaimed in shock, "Damn! What is going on? How did so many monsters spawn at once?"

The warrior Moon Demon Old Two’s expression turned fierce. "No! The monsters are spawning from the ground. This isn't a normal spawn pattern!"

"Then what is it?"

While they stood there in wonder and doubt, out of those shadow vortices stepped Necromancer Warriors clad in heavy dark-metal armor, their eyes glowing with a cyan, ghostly light, exuding a dark aura reminiscent of hell's messengers.

Lu Ming had summoned all sixty of his Necromancer Warriors.

At the same time, he planted his longsword into the ground.

Whoosh!

A dark red super-array with a radius of 500 yards bloomed outward from under Lu Ming’s feet, instantly covering the entire battlefield and dyeing the ground a deep, dark red.

The effects of War Stomp were cast upon all the Necromancer Warriors.

Lu Ming stared quietly at the few Moon Demons ahead.

"Kill."

With a flick of his will, the next second, dozens of Necromancer Warriors swarmed forward like a tidal wave, instantly engulfing the three Moon Demons.

-235!
-235!
-235!
-235!
...

In an instant, the three Moon Demons were hacked to death by a flurry of blades.

The battlefield fell into a sudden silence.

The three girls were stunned. Just as they were staring in shock at the incredibly lethal Necromancer Warriors, wondering where they had come from, the party notifications chimed.

[Ding! Your teammate Youming killed a Level 6 Moon Demon. You received a 30% participation reward, EXP +6!]
[Ding! Your teammate Youming killed a Level 6 Moon Demon. You received a 30% participation reward, EXP +6!]
[Ding! Your teammate Youming killed a Level 6 Moon Demon. You received a 30% participation reward, EXP +6!]

At that moment, they finally realized what had happened.

They cast looks of disbelief at Lu Ming. Meanwhile, the opportunists in the back were so terrified by the scene that they began to question reality.

"Holy crap! How is he able to have so many summons at only Level 6?"

"How is the damage of his summons so high? It’s higher than the grass growing on my grave!"

"What the hell is this? It’s terrifying!"

Shocked, cold sweat broke out on their foreheads, and their hands trembled. They felt incredibly lucky that they hadn't made a move yet—the consequences would have been unthinkable!

"Run!"
"Run, quickly!"
"Get out of here!"

Fearing that if they stayed for even a moment longer, Lu Ming’s Necromancer Warriors would charge over and cut them down, the group—having only just entered the dungeon—scrambled to open the exit portal and fled in a panic.

Back on Lu Ming’s side, according to the party mechanics of *Sky Abyss*, when five players are in a party, the player who lands the killing blow receives 100% of the rewards, while the other four receive a 30% baseline share. Thus, Lu Ming received the full amount, totaling 60 EXP.

The rest of his party members were now breathing heavily. The army of Necromancer Warriors that had claimed the battlefield in an instant exuded a powerful, awe-inspiring aura.

"Those Necromancer Warriors... were they all summoned by that Array Master guy?"

"But isn't his class an Array Master? How can he use summoning spells?"

"It must be the effect of an account talent, right? I've seen many such summoning talents online!"

"Oh my god! Did you see the damage those Necromancer Warriors dealt? It’s terrifying!"

"This Array Master is amazing!"

The girls whispered among themselves, their eyes filled with admiration for Lu Ming. Only Tianxuan Zongheng, standing in the front, seemed to have anticipated Lu Ming’s strength, remaining relatively calm as he looked at the powerful warriors surrounding them.

Level 6 monsters were slightly more valuable. Through the corpses of the three Moon Demons, the Necromancer Warriors picked up a total of 7 copper coins for Lu Ming. Lu Ming began refining the corpses while ordering his warriors to continue the hunt.

Before long, the number of Moon Demons harvested by the Necromancer Warriors reached ten.

The three girls in the party had their mouths agape, completely questioning their understanding of the game.

"Big Brother Youming’s summons are just too strong!"

To the average player, this was difficult to comprehend. Even those well-versed in the details of *Sky Abyss* knew that a Level 6 Array Master’s offensive reinforcement array could, at best, provide teammates with a bonus of twenty or thirty points of damage.

They could never have imagined that, under the ten-fold enhancement of the [Comprehensive Amplification] talent, Lu Ming’s Level 6 War Stomp provided a bonus equal to 100% of his own attack power plus 200—a staggering 242 points!

What kind of concept was this? Under normal circumstances, a Level 10, second-tier player in full Black Iron gear would barely reach 100+ attack power.

Yet, the Necromancer Warriors’ attack power had reached a shocking 255 points! With only 20 points of armor, how could the Moon Demons possibly withstand their attacks?

As the number of Moon Demon kills reached ten, the first tier of the dungeon quest was completed, automatically upgrading to the second tier, which required killing 30 Moon Demons. The rewards for the second tier were also increased: from 100 EXP and 8 copper coins to 200 EXP and 15 copper coins!

The probability of obtaining gear remained negligible.

By now, Tianxuan Zongheng had recovered his health with a potion and rejoined the battle alongside the three girls. They were astonished to find that the bonus they received from Lu Ming’s War Stomp was remarkably high!

*Biubiu!*

The archer, "Little Lazy Cat," locked onto a Moon Demon that had just spawned on the right. She fired two consecutive arrows, dealing two numbers that she could hardly believe:

-251!
-251!

"Oh my god!"

Little Lazy Cat’s eyes widened, her mouth forming an "O" shape. "Why is my damage so high?"

Nearby, the mage, "Loves Strawberry Bears," quickly tested it on a Moon Demon. She found that a single Fireball spell dealt a whopping 339 damage, instantly one-shotting the full-health Level 6 Moon Demon!

The priest, "Milky Pudding," found that a single heal provided a staggering 400+ health recovery, instantly topping everyone off!

"Wow! My panel attack power is 281!"
"I have over 270 attack power, oh my god!"

At this moment, they finally realized that the truly formidable one wasn't just the Necromancer Warriors—it was Lu Ming, the Array Master himself! The reinforcement effects of the arrays he released were ridiculously powerful.

The girls felt fortunate to have joined this "big shot's" party.

"With such an amazing big brother leading us, this dungeon run is in the bag!"

Under Lu Ming’s mental control, the sixty Necromancer Warriors with 255 attack power swept everything before them. In no time at all, they cleared out the Moon Demons spawning on the outskirts of the Moon Demon Temple.

Following that, they pushed through the city gates and stormed into the temple interior. As they entered, they began to encounter higher-level Moon Demons (Level 7-8). Although these monsters were stronger, they still couldn't withstand the damage from the Necromancer Warriors.

Not a single Moon Demon could survive more than two hits from the warriors. If one did, it only took a third!
