Chapter 1086: Chapter 1086

After understanding what was going on, Du You was no longer anxious. His strength had become quite impressive. From the information published by the academy, Du You chose a region to advance into.

This area was mapped out by the academy’s pioneers. Along this line, there were many fifth-tier Mother Nests, and it was rare to encounter a sixth tier. Du You planned to operate in the first half, avoiding those fifth-tier Mother Nests in the later stages.

At the same time, in the first half, it was basically impossible for him to encounter a sixth-tier Mother Nest. With his own cautiousness and continuous exploration, Du You believed he would certainly make a substantial gain.

Now he could say he was lacking everything, not only Crystal Coins but also equipment, and even other things. If he couldn’t make a good profit in this world, it would be difficult to have such an opportunity in the future. It was fortunate that the academy had many experts in the front blocking for him; as long as he didn’t court death, there wouldn’t be any danger.

Advancing on his journey, and having hunted down a few fourth-tier Mother Nests, Du You and the others finally found a new fifth-tier Mother Nest.

The Mother Nest was as large as a castle, almost the same as the previous one. A total of eight fifth-tier Undead Creatures were guarding around it. "Good, this is it, but we need to weaken it first."

Calculating quietly, Du You felt that with his current strength, he was evenly matched with that Mother Nest.

It had been a long time since Du You encountered a situation that required step-by-step calculations. Now that he faced one, he actually felt very good about it. He and Lin Yucha and Lin Yushi now had Spiritual Defense, allowing them to ignore the attacks from the Mother Nest.

But his Summoned Beasts couldn’t, as they did not have skills in spiritual defense. Facing such attacks, even if they wouldn’t feel pain, they could still be killed over time. And in this world, it was basically impossible to kill those fifth-tier Undead. Therefore, they had to use a powerful move to clear the area first.

"Come on, Xiaozi, let’s test your ’Sun Rain’." Du You summoned Xiaozi.

Xiaozi’s long horse face rolled its eyes before aiming forward. Its whole body burst with white light, which then concentrated on its silver-white horn, shining like a little sun.

The next moment, Xiaozi’s head reared, and the small sun instantly flew into the sky. Suddenly, a bright white light exploded, and countless white raindrops fell from the sky, enveloping the entire surrounding area.

Upon closer inspection, one could feel that the raindrops contained intense Light Elemental Power. However, it was not a mere condensation of the Light Element, but rather a burning flame, the ’Holy Flame.’

This power had a very obvious restraining force against darkness and evil.

Even Du You, a person with a Dark Attribute, felt a wave of oppression in such an environment.

"Well done," praised Du You, observing the light rain and feeling the vast Light Elemental Power. Beside him, Xiaozi stood proudly, a look of pride on its face, though it could not hide its exhaustion.

Waving his hand, Du You called Xiaozi back; without proper rest, it would not be able to recover its strength.

"What a pity, if only Xiaozi could learn skills. It’s not easy to find skills related to Light Attribute recovery of Magic Power, especially those that pets can learn," Du You shook his head.

Pets were different from Professionals; they couldn’t learn skills so easily, and Du You hadn’t yet found something that allowed pets to learn. As for Xiaozi, it was hard to say whether it counted as a pet.

The Sun Rain came quickly and left just as fast. When the Sun Rain dissipated, the scene before them had completely changed. At a glance, there wasn’t much left that could move in the visible area. All Undead below the fifth tier had turned to ash, not even leaving behind corpses. The eight fifth-tier Undead Creatures appeared weak, clearly having suffered heavy injuries.

The Undead Nest fared slightly better, but it also seemed to have its issues. Its thick barrier had been scorched, the interior blackened. If someone said it was unharmed, Du You wouldn’t believe it.

"Good, let’s go," said Du You, not summoning any other Summoned Beasts, and charged forward with the two sisters.

As expected, the Mother Nest began to unleash psychic attacks, but against the three individuals’ improved Spiritual Power and Spiritual Shield skills, such attacks had very little effect on them, causing no damage at all.

The eight fifth-tier Undead, already inferior in strength and now heavily injured, were suppressed under their onslaught. Still, it took several minutes for Du You and the sisters to eliminate them.

Without the weakening from Xiaozi’s powerful move, if they confronted these eight fifth-tier Undead Creatures head-on, they really wouldn’t have been able to resolve the situation quickly. Skills not fully integrated with the rules were less effective.

Du You could clearly feel that his skill power was much greater than that of his opponents, but he found it being negated by them. Often his skills required several times more Magic Power to counteract one instance of the opponent’s ability, which was very troubling.

"Finally resolved, now onto the second one," Du You looked towards the back.

A Mother Nest that only used Undead and simple psychic attacks was now roaring continuously, to no avail. The three of them took turns attacking, and after several rounds, finally destroyed the Mother Nest.

This battle gave Du You the exhilarating feeling he had missed for a long time; this was the essence of combat.

In the past, he either slaughtered and steamrolled his opponents or was steamrolled by much stronger adversaries. He couldn’t recall the last time he felt such a fiery battle.

"Let’s go, onto the next," Du You did not choose to submit his mission, choosing instead to accumulate more.

Similarly, as Du You and his companions fought, others gradually began to recognize their strength. When the academy’s people learned that Du You had reached the fifth tier, their expressions were quite a sight.

But Du You was accustomed to fighting alone, and even when he encountered people from other academies, he left directly, declining any invitations to team up. Why share with others what he could handle on his own? This eccentricity made Du You all the more noteworthy.

With Du You’s present strength, whether targeting the Mother Nest or the City of the Dead was very easy. However, when confronting the City of the Dead, Du You still needed to use the Dark Beetles for an initial attack. Facing those troublesome Undead Mages directly was somewhat challenging for him; it was best to weaken them first before cleaning up. Thɪs chapter is updated by 𝘯𝘰𝘷𝘦𝘭•𝓯𝓲𝓻𝓮•𝘯𝘦𝘵

Over the course of several days, Du You had already eliminated more than a dozen targets. "It’s good to have such enemies: no complete organization and no one to band together for revenge."
