I, the Necromancer, will crush the gods!

Chapter 201 The Key to Vulcan, The Flower of Vulcan

The entire palace seemed to awaken in an instant, and a large number of Vulcan Palace guards poured out.

Their goal was the same: to head straight for Jiang Chen's skeleton warriors.

Jiang Chen was still standing at the palace gate when he saw this and immediately ordered the skeleton warriors to retreat.

Engaging these guards would certainly put you in danger of being controlled and then surrounded.

Jiang Chen's immunity to control-type skills is quite weak, which is one of his major weaknesses.

A new skeleton warrior suddenly appeared, grabbed the remaining guard corpse, and then carried it on his shoulder.

In dungeons, monster corpses will disappear within a short time, and their vitality will rapidly decrease over time.

Only about a minute had passed since Jiang Chen dealt with the two guards at the gate, but he could sense that most of the life force in the corpse had disappeared.

In a little while, the body will completely disappear.

The skeleton warriors quickly returned, followed by a large number of pursuers.

Jiang Chen ordered: "Throw it!"

Guided by his will, the skeleton warriors beside him immediately threw the guard's corpse away.

Jiang Chen used the skill: Corpse Explosion!

The corpse flew over the skeleton warrior's head and exploded in mid-air!

The shockwave from the explosion swept through the entire palace, causing it to tremble.

Jiang Chen's pupils contracted, because not a single palace guard had been killed in the explosion. The corpses had existed for too long, and their vitality had been greatly weakened.

Even after being enhanced by skills after detonation, it still cannot completely kill these palace guards; it can only leave them half-dead.

After being attacked, the palace guards all focused their attention on Jiang Chen, charging at him one after another.

Jiang Chen reacted quickly, activating his skill: Slow Curse!

Red chains appeared above the heads of all the palace guards, and their running speed immediately slowed down.

Jiang Chen locked onto the nearest palace guard and then unleashed his skill: Soul Burn!

Meanwhile, the skeleton mages unleashed a barrage of fire attacks.

Lightning flashed and thunder roared, the wind howled, and ice arrows rained down from the sky.

Soul burning causes severe damage directly.

Amidst screams, the palace guard fell to the ground, still in a forward-rushing posture.

boom!

The sound of explosions echoed through the palace once again.

The palace guards who had just died, their bodies fresh and full of life.

The explosion immediately cleared out the pursuers.

A long string of information popped up.

Each palace guard provides 136 million experience points.

This wave of training has significantly increased my experience level.

My experience level is now 97%, and I only need 3% more to level up.

Jiang Chen remained standing outside the palace, which was now empty.

The alarm was still sounding, but no new guards were rushing over.

The skeleton warriors braved the flames and ran into the palace, continuing to play their final role.

As they ran, a skeleton warrior fell.

It has completed its mission and reached its end.

After falling, the bones on his body quickly turned into powder and disappeared without a trace with a gust of hot wind.

Jiang Chen sighed inwardly, thinking that the skeleton warriors were the most loyal and perfect warriors.

Unafraid of pain, indifferent to death, never retreating.

It will faithfully execute and complete any command.

The first hall you pass through in the palace is a garden.

There are artificial hills, flowing water, and a pond inside.

It was unlike any garden Jiang Chen had ever seen.

The artificial mountain here is the Flaming Mountain, and flowing with scorching lava.

The entire garden radiated a scorching heat, far exceeding that of the palace. A wave of heat, carrying intense fire element, washed over them, activating the skeletal armor.

These heat waves are aggressive and terrifying.

"what is this?"

The firelight was blinding, and Jiang Chen instinctively squinted.

Through a crack in his vision, Jiang Chen saw a flower.

A beautiful little flower, as clear and lustrous as a gemstone, blooms brilliantly in the flames.

It blooms and sways in the center of the magma, breathtakingly beautiful.

The appearance of such a wondrous flower under these circumstances must be extraordinary.

Two more skeleton warriors fell, turning into dust.

Of the 16 skeleton warriors initially summoned, 4 have already died.

The remaining 12 won't last much longer either.

Jiang Chen let them try to pick the flowers. But when the skeleton warriors approached the lava, the lava churned violently, and the temperature instantly increased several times over.

The skeleton warriors fell one after another.

The last few barely made contact with the lava, when suddenly a giant fiery hand emerged from the lava and slammed heavily onto the skeleton warrior.

The skeleton warrior was already on the verge of death, his bones riddled with cracks.

Now, with a single slap from the giant fiery hand, the remaining skeletons all fell apart and died.

The giant hand that rose from the lava dispersed the skeleton warrior's hand and then slammed down towards Jiang Chen.

Jiang Chen quickly retreated to dodge.

The skeleton mage launched an attack as Jiang Chen retreated to dodge.

A freezing downpour! A tornado! A thunderbolt!

The three elemental spells landed on the giant hand. *Sizzle!*

White smoke billowed from the giant hand.

The giant hand felt the pain and quickly withdrew.

Jiang Chen was taken aback.

run away?

This is the first time I've ever seen a monster that can run away.

The next second, the magma churned violently and shot into the sky.

Bang bang bang!

Jiang Chen heard a heartbeat.

A heart made of flames appeared on the flower.

My heart is pounding, making a deep, resonant sound.

The magma that shot into the sky transformed into a lava giant ten meters tall.

And that flower was clearly visible inside its body.

The flower was planted in its heart, rising and falling with each heartbeat. The giant roared, and the lava churned even more violently.

Pillars of fire shot into the sky, and fire rained down throughout the garden.

Most of the magma merged into the giant's body, making the giant even stronger.

"Vulcan Palace Gardener (Hell-level Boss)"

"Level: 36"

Strength: 20000

Agility: 10000

"Spirit: 10000"

Constitution: 20000

"Skill: None"

Trait: Immune to fire elemental attacks

With both Strength and Constitution reaching 2, he's almost on par with a skeleton warrior. All attributes combined total a staggering 60000 points!

Although it has no special skills, its basic attacks alone are enough to give people a headache.

If they were outside, Jiang Chen naturally wouldn't have anything to fear.

Just push them over with the skeleton warriors.

But you can't do that here, otherwise you'll have to endure the elemental attacks from the dungeon for no reason.

However, without summoning a large number of skeletons, it would probably take quite a while to defeat the boss monster in front of you.

The skeleton mage is taking continuous fire damage and won't last much longer.

Jiang Chen's heart stirred, and he summoned nine skeleton warriors.

Including the one that just threw the corpse, there are exactly 10.

Ten skeleton warriors quickly ran back to the palace and dragged out the bodies of the palace guards who had just died. The palace gardener had already launched an attack on Jiang Chen.

The giant hand slammed down.

Jiang Chen neither dodged nor avoided it, but instead cast a slowing curse to slow down its movements.

At the same time, his hands were burning with soul energy, causing damage to the gardener.

Soul Burn deals significant damage, not much worse than the Skeleton Mage's skills.

The pain, in particular, left an indelible mark on its memory.

Its entire attention was focused on Jiang Chen, and it kept attacking him.

The skeletal armor gleamed, blocking all attacks.

After all, it's the boss of the Hell dungeon, and its health is incredibly high.

It would take a considerable amount of time for just 20 skeleton mages and Jiang Chen to kill it.

A short while later, the skeletons returned, dragging corpses with them. Each skeleton was dragging two corpses, a total of twenty.

Although these guards' corpses had been dead for a while and their vitality had been greatly reduced, it was still better than nothing.

Twenty corpses were thrown towards the palace gardeners.

Skill: Corpse Explosion!

The body was detonated in mid-air.

Lava splashed out, revealing gaps in the rocks.

The gardener clearly suffered great harm.

Explosions continued one after another.

Jiang Chen did not hold back his mental energy at all, continuously unleashing skills.

As long as a necromancer has enough mental energy, their skills have no cooldown time.

So far, Jiang Chen has not found any skills that require a cooldown.

The explosions continued, and the skeleton warrior, after throwing the corpses, did not stop, rushing towards the gardener like lightning.

Compared to the ten-meter-tall palace gardener, the skeleton warrior appeared so small.

The skeleton warrior swung his greatsword, and a flash of red light appeared, a color even more vivid than flames.

Skill: Berserker Power!

The palace gardener immediately screamed in agony.

Corpses explode, souls burn, the skeleton mage's spell attacks, plus the skeleton warrior's skills.

This combination dealt it a fatal blow.

The battle lasted only five minutes from start to finish.

"Defeat the gardener in the Vulcan Palace, experience +2160000"

"Obtain the Vulcan Key"

"Obtain the Flower of Fire"

"Vulcan Key: The key to unlock the true Vulcan Temple" "Vulcan Flower: Using the Vulcan Flower can awaken the Vulcan"

boom!

After the gardener died, the lava boiled again.

molten lava surged in from all directions, threatening to engulf the garden...
