I Save The World In A Doomsday Text Game

Chapter 401-2: Starrealm Leap, Carpet Search by the Undead Army (2)

The star magic called Starrealm Leap not only allowed him to teleport to any location within his field of vision, it also gave him a free town portal.

Moreover, if he used the skill at the right moment, he could even sidestep incoming damage from enemies. It was truly a rare life-saving divine skill.

Truly, anything that came from the Divine Book of Favor was guaranteed to be a top-quality product.

[When the Servant of Knowledge sees the page stop on the spell scroll recording Starrealm Leap, he cannot help showing a hint of a smile.]

[He sighs and says that it seems the one chosen by the true Lord will never have bad luck. To be so favored by divine grace is only natural.]

[As he speaks, he waves a hand and countless pure white characters surge into existence out of thin air. The dense characters cluster together, bearing an ancient sheepskin scroll into being.]

[The Servant of Knowledge places the ancient scroll into your hands…]

[You have obtained Ancient Scroll Recording Star Magic (mythic+ grade item).]

Grinning from ear to ear, Lin Xun opened his Inventory and looked at the newly acquired skill scroll.

However, he quickly discovered that among his many Shells, only one could meet the learning requirements for this skill.The Shells Desire Primordial Fire Child of Evil, Purgatory Angel, and Desire-Bearing Greedy Wolf Star Lord had no mana and could not cast the skill even if they learned it.

And the Direct Vision President Shell, due to its Shell rank being too low, would cause the mythic+ grade skill to fall to legendary grade if it tried to learn it by force.

Only the Corrupted Calamity Lich happened to be able to learn Starrealm Leap without causing the skill’s grade to drop.

Lin Xun thought it over for a long time, then still shook his head. He did not have the Calamity Lich learn this god-tier skill.

The lich’s direct combat strength was quite poor. It did not personally fight. All of the fighting was done by its minions.

He did not need the lich to appear on the field at all. He only had to use Bee Queen Visage to summon undead to fight.

Starrealm Leap allowed teleport blinks to pull away distance and was far more suitable for a traditional mage who fought on the front lines.

“I need to move the plan to find a high-level powerhouse Mage Shell up the schedule.”

If there was one thing the World of Omniscience did not lack, it was mages. You could basically say that so long as it was a human, their base class template was a mage.

But to learn a mythic+ grade skill without causing the skill’s grade to drop, he at least needed a mythic grade mage Shell.

Of course, Lin Xun’s goal was far more than just that.

[When the Servant of Knowledge sees you put away the grace reward, he slowly says that it is time for you to set out again and continue your journey.]

[The doubts that puzzle you, the hidden secrets behind this world, will all be answered as you travel in the days to come.]

[The great Omniscient True Knowledge will always grant you guidance…]

[The Servant of Knowledge smiles as he bids you farewell. He waves a hand and a beam of white light envelops your entire body…]

[The old voice echoes within the temple…]

[One chosen by the true Lord, the authority you currently possess concerns the fleshly body. But remember this well. Any authority has only one path of advancement… and that is strengthening the soul.]

[Teleporting…]

[…]

[…]

[Teleportation successful.]

Lin Xun paused in surprise.

Although the Servant of Knowledge had not directly told him the method for usurping authority, the reminder he left him before he left the temple was equivalent to giving him a small sweet date.

To use an analogy, it was like asking your boss for a raise and getting shot down without a second thought.

Afterward, afraid you might throw down your work and resign on the spot, the boss gave you a few hundred yuan as a bonus by way of compensation and painted a rosy picture, saying that as long as you worked hard, the day for promotion and a raise would surely come.

[The powerful wandering soul awakens amid endless fog…]

[You open your eyes and look around. Through the shroud of mist, you can vaguely see scattered remnants of the Refined Copper Carriage not far away.]

[This is the place where you previously fought Knowledge-Seeking Direct Vision Branch Association Grand Scholar, but at this moment, both the Grand Scholar and his carriage are gone without a trace.]

[In the endless fog, it seems as if you are the only one left in the whole world…]

[Will you stay where you are and wait for the Grand Scholar to come pick you up, or will you advance deeper into the fog, heading toward the Polar Star Society temporary stronghold in the direction marked on the Route Map?]

Lin Xun waited in place for a long time but did not see the Grand Scholar appear. He had no idea where that guy had run off to.

Without a Refined Copper Carriage that could navigate, he could only choose to set out on foot.

[You move your feet and, following the guidance of the Route Map, head deeper into the endless fog…]

[…]

[Your field of vision contains only dense white mist. Very soon you lose your sense of direction within the fog and no longer know where you are.]

[Blindly wandering will only take you farther and farther from the Polar Star Society temporary stronghold. You know that continuing to explore is meaningless.]

[Do you wish to kill yourself to return to the Resting Page?]

Lin Xun frowned and could not help recalling the embarrassing situation in Chapter Four where he had blundered through the fog and lost his way until he was forced to commit suicide in the end.

He was no longer a nobody from Wu County. After a moment of thought, he came up with a method to explore the fog.

[A tall, thin, gloomy figure appears behind you. Gray-white deathly aura coils around his staff. He raises the short staff high and chants an obscure, profound spell…]

[As he chants, pale skeletal arms thrust out from the ground, and the dead who have been buried for many years respond to the Corrupted Calamity Lich’s call and return to the human realm from the underworld.]

This was the Corrupted Calamity Lich’s Shell skill, Necromantic Servant. Although the skill was legendary+ grade, its might was rather feeble. All it summoned were weak, low-level undead.

One of the few advantages of the skill was that it consumed little mana and could summon an extremely large number of undead.

Given the Corrupted Calamity Lich’s current strength, it could already summon over five hundred low-level undead at once. These little skeletons were so weak they could not even provide Bloodshed Points. All they could do was use mob tactics to gang up on other small monsters.

The main combat power of Necromantic Servant did not lie in the little skeletons but in the proper undead summons with whom contracts had been formed.

It was just that even Amos’s earthbone dragon was pathetic enough that Lin Xun had no interest in it.

[Under your command, the five hundred plus Skeleton Warriors scatter in all directions and vanish into the fog.]

[You can sense the location and survival status of every Skeleton Warrior. As soon as they discover anything unusual, they will return here to report to you…]

Lin Xun did not know how far this place was from the Polar Star Society temporary stronghold, but so long as there was any explorable location nearby, it could not escape the carpet search of five hundred little skeletons.

Who said you could not lick the map just because the fog of war had not lifted?

This time, he was going to lick the map completely clean.
