Chapter 42: Chapter 42: All Are Equal Before Lu Ran
Lu Ran wasn’t unfamiliar, because in the Endless Tower, he had tried the Skeleton Storm.
Moreover, at this moment, the Skeleton Storm’s range wasn’t the basic thirty meters, but was extended by thirty-four meters due to the Vast Sea and Sky entry.
This was because Lu Ran unlocked the entry after passing the 17th floor.
Starting from unlocking, after every BOSS kill, the range increased by one meter.
By the 51st floor, the entry had added thirty-four meters to Lu Ran’s range.
So now, Lu Ran’s Skeleton Storm was sixty-four meters!
That was already an astonishing range!
Lu Ran stepped out of the safe zone.
The magic staff in his hand glowed, staring at the Elemental Fire Spirit and Molten Rock Giant not far away, he cast the Skeleton Storm.
Instantly, pale white bones appeared out of thin air, then were swept up by a gust, starting to ravage like a storm!
The bones, driven by the fierce wind, were like the sharp blades of a meat grinder; the health of the Elemental Fire Spirit and Molten Rock Giant started to drop, but not slowly.
Even though this was the top difficulty attributes of monsters beneath the abyss!
But Lu Ran’s magic attack power was quite high.
Behind him.
The three guild leaders looked at each other in bewilderment.
"This is undoubtedly Skeleton Storm, but... doesn’t something seem a bit off?"
"This range looks so much larger, doesn’t it?"
"The range of Skeleton Storm is thirty meters, the one Lu Ran casted is at least sixty meters."
"So, is this the entry’s effect?"
"The entry’s effect can’t be just doubling the skill coverage area, can it?"
...
The few speculated.
If it truly was just doubling the skill coverage area, while impressive, it seemed a bit underwhelming on Lu Ran.
The three continued watching.
After Lu Ran casted the Skeleton Storm, the Elemental Fire Spirit and Molten Rock Giant were attacked and immediately drew aggro, intending to rush over.
Lu Ran remained calm, casually threw out an Undead Touch.
Instantly, the Elemental Fire Spirit and Molten Rock Giant within range fell motionless.
Subsequently, Lu Ran calmly cast Skeleton Storm again and again, interspersing with Undead Touch to control the monsters.
He did not deploy any Skeleton Soldiers.
As he simply wished to test the effect of Skeleton Storm and the entry.
Even so, the continuously stacking Skeleton Storms were dense, nearly making the monsters invisible to the naked eye.
Only a few flickers of flames could be seen amidst the fiercely churning bones.
"The range of Undead Touch also increased, exceeding sixty meters." Liu Xinxin mused.
By this time, the health of the Elemental Fire Spirit and Molten Rock Giant finally ran out.
[The team killed Elemental Fire Spirit, gained 880 experience!]
[The team killed Molten Rock Giant, gained 1100 experience!]
[The team killed Elemental Fire Spirit, gained 880 experience!]
[The team killed Elemental Fire Spirit, gained 880 experience!]
[The team killed Molten Rock Giant, gained 1100 experience!]
...
As the kill notifications kept appearing, the experience was indeed abundant.
But Lu Ran was not stopping yet.
He walked forward, continuously casting Skeleton Storm and Undead Touch.
Within the skill coverage range, all the Elemental Fire Spirits and Molten Rock Giants could only stand still and take the hits.
But at this moment, the three guild leaders noticed something was wrong.
"Lu Ran’s Skeleton Storm, the range has increased!"
"The range of Undead Touch seems to have increased too!"
"What does that mean? Can Lu Ran control the skill coverage range?"
"First time seeing Lu Ran solo a dungeon, it’s just too mind-blowing!"
"This isn’t just dungeon crawling, it’s like taking a stroll in the park..."
...
The three kept watching, speculating.
Only Liu Xinxin seemed to have figured something out, watching the rampant Skeleton Storm in the distance.
And Lu Ran, seeing the skill activation range indeed increased, felt a sense of reassurance.
He was no longer interested in continuing to play.
He lifted his head, looked into the distance, and began randomly casting Skeleton Storm throughout the entire Land of Flames dungeon!
Also, Undead Touch!
Even though the skill coverage area hasn’t yet increased, the casting range could cover dozens of kilometers!
Lu Ran cast indiscriminately across the map.
As far as the eye could see, there were only Skeleton Storms!
The entire Land of Flames seemed submerged by skeletons, the gust whistling, all the monsters within had no escape, their health bars plummeting!
[The team killed Elemental Fire Spirit, gained 880 experience!]
[The team killed Molten Rock Giant, gained 1100 experience!]
[The team killed Elemental Fire Spirit, gained 880 experience!]
...
As Lu Ran’s Skeleton Storm swept through, more and more Elemental Fire Spirits and Molten Rock Giants started dying.
And the more monsters died, the more the range of Lu Ran’s Skeleton Storm grew.
This was a virtuous cycle.
Lu Ran’s Skeleton Storm range kept expanding, stacking on itself, causing the health bars of Elemental Fire Spirits and Molten Rock Giants to drop even quicker!
The faster the health bars dropped, the quicker they died, the larger Lu Ran’s skill range became.
Earlier, Liu Xinxin had mentioned, in the abyss difficulty of this Land of Flames, not counting the elites and BOSSs, just the regular Elemental Fire Spirits and Molten Rock Giants numbered 500!
When Lu Ran finishes decimating the ordinary monsters in the whole Land of Flames, the skill range could reach over five hundred meters!
A kilometer completion!
Behind, the three gradually began to understand the method.
Liu Xinxin stated, "It seems correct, do you remember Lu Ran had a Sea of All Rivers entry? It increases skill casting range, meaning the further the distance, the further it can be cast. The increase method is by killing one monster, increasing the casting range by one meter."
Lei Tai and Ye Hongyi nodded.
Looking up, at this time, Lu Ran’s Skeleton Storm range was already two to three times larger than initially!
At least two hundred meters!
"So, Lu Ran’s new entry should be that the skill’s own coverage range expands. So far, it also seems like the coverage range increases by one meter per monster killed," Liu Xinxin mused.
Although Lei Tai and Ye Hongyi had already guessed it by now.
But hearing this, they couldn’t help but gasp.
This was much more terrifying than the previous Sea of All Rivers!
Sea of All Rivers could cast skills ridiculously far, to unimaginable distances.
But the skills themselves had no actual change.
It required through No Cooldown to infinitely stack to enhance the effect.
But now, Lu Ran’s skill coverage range could actually increase!
This was fearsome!
"Imagine, when the national war commences, Lu Ran throws a Skeleton Storm covering hundreds of kilometers at the U.S.A.’s army, Lu Ran absolutely could do it. After all, his skill casting range reaches hundreds of kilometers just as easily," Liu Xinxin said.
Lei Tai and Ye Hongyi swallowed hard.
Ye Hongyi stated, "Not just that, he has No Cooldown, he can throw not just one Skeleton Storm! It’s infinitely stackable! And the same goes for Undead Touch!"
Lei Tai said in astonishment, "Gosh, I feel defeated. We three are the leaders of the three major guilds, yet before a level twenty-three Undead Mage, we’re completely at a loss?"
Ye Hongyi said with a wry smile, "It’s not just us, globally all Professionals would be bested before Lu Ran!"
Liu Xinxin took a deep breath.
And said, "Now, there’s no suspense left, on the day of the national war, other countries shouldn’t even think about carrying out combat plans or even moving!"
At that time, before Lu Ran, the Undead Mage, the rest of the world is equal!
