I, the Necromancer, will crush the gods!

Chapter 50 One wave subsides only for another to rise, the second phase

The sudden meteorite startled Jiang Chen, who immediately ordered his skeleton warriors to form a sturdy shield formation, tightly surrounding him.

At that very moment, a fireball, like a meteorite, struck the skeleton warrior, igniting a spectacular display of sparks that filled the sky.

Jiang Chen was well aware of his weakness; his physique was quite fragile. If he were to withstand a powerful attack, it would cause him a great deal of damage, which would then be transferred to his skeleton warriors, posing a serious threat to them.

However, if we change our perspective and let these skeleton warriors take the bullets for us, the outcome will be different.

No one knew the skeleton warrior's four-dimensional attributes better than Jiang Chen. Its extremely high defense meant that such damage could be completely ignored.

Therefore, he chose to let the skeleton warriors shield him from the attack, placing himself in a relatively safe position.

The skeleton warriors stood firm like a fortress, withstanding the bombardment of fireballs that resembled meteors. Although the sky was filled with dazzling flames, they remained unshaken.

Jiang Chen understood that his power did not come from his own physique, but from the skeleton warriors he summoned.

Skeleton warriors possess powerful physiques and defensive capabilities, making them virtually immune to this level of damage.

Fire rained down, but Jiang Chen remained calm and composed. He commanded ten skeleton warriors to use their shields to block the enemy mages' attacks.

At the same time, he summoned another ten skeleton warriors to deal with the charging orc warriors.

"Use the skill!" Jiang Chen commanded in his mind, and red light immediately shone in the hands of the skeleton warriors. Berserk Power!

Standing under the protection of the skeleton warriors, Jiang Chen could also see the orcish group in front of him.

Among the group were a group of orc mages wielding withered wands; the meteor shower they had just unleashed was their doing.

And at the urging of these orc mages, a large group of Filin orc warriors also charged forward, brandishing their weapons and yelling wildly.

Skeleton warriors have a strength attribute of up to 5000, and with the added bonuses from their skills, their attack power instantly doubles.

The Felin orc warriors were instantly killed, unable to withstand such a powerful attack.

Jiang Chen also discovered that these monsters seemed to have no respawn time; they suddenly appeared in droves.

This isn't good news for others, but it's great news for Jiang Chen. It means he's about to get a lot of points!

The Philin orc mage was still casting a rain of fire, with fire raining down from the sky, while Jiang Chen remained unharmed, protected by the skeleton warriors.

Jiang Chen's palm also emitted light, followed by a loud bang. The shockwave from the exploding corpses spread instantly, and the Felin orc warriors fell like ears of wheat. Within seconds, almost all of the hundreds of Felin orc warriors who had charged forward were killed.

Ten skeleton warriors charged toward the Felin orc mage with lightning speed; their 5000 points of agility made them incredibly fast.

In the blink of an eye, the skeleton warrior was in front of the Philim orc mage, and with each swift strike, a Philim orc mage would die.

The fire rain was extinguished by the skeleton warriors' attack, and everything returned to calm.

The examiners, watching the leaderboard in the Trial Tower control room, stared wide-eyed at the scoreboard in disbelief.

Jiang Chen's score paused briefly during the intense battle, then skyrocketed like a rocket, increasing from 4105 points to 14605 points, meaning he had defeated 120 monsters.

"This guy has area-of-effect attacks." The examiners exchanged opinions, marveling at the sight.

"This profession is too overpowered. The single-target skills are already abnormally strong, and the area-of-effect skills are just as impressive," one examiner remarked.

"Not only that, his summoned creatures are also incredibly powerful," another examiner remarked.

"But we can't jump to conclusions yet, after all, his level is still very low, and we need to see how he performs in the future," a cautious examiner offered a conservative opinion.

Some professions perform poorly at lower levels but shine at higher levels, and vice versa. Although Jiang Chen's profession is powerful at lower levels, the examiners understand that the higher the level, the more severe the challenges will be.

Being strong at a low level does not mean you will be strong at a high level.

Just because something doesn't work at a low level doesn't mean it won't work at a high level.

Some professions are never that great until you acquire a certain amazing skill, and then you become irreplaceable.

There is a profession that is not very useful in daily life.

But once war breaks out, they become like gods.

All of his skills are group skills that affect an entire army.

The presence of such a professional in a legion can double the combat power of the entire legion.

Suddenly, the ground shook and made a loud rumbling sound.

The entire earth seemed to be trembling, as if an earthquake had occurred.

The corpse vanished with the tremor, as if swallowed by the earth. An invisible gas surged from the ground, making the air thicker, filled with the stench of blood and even the unbearable stench of decay.

The sky grew even darker, the atmosphere became oppressive, and it felt suffocating.

"The second phase has begun." Jiang Chen gazed at the sky, seemingly quite accustomed to the aura of death, showing no aversion whatsoever.

Perhaps it's related to his profession.

The presence of death did not make him feel uncomfortable.

He disliked the increasingly strong stench, however.

As the earthquake gradually subsided, Jiang Chen ordered his skeleton warriors to surround him, remaining vigilant about their surroundings.

A few seconds later, footsteps were heard.

"coming!"

Jiang Chen thought to himself. Suddenly, a large number of monsters appeared all around them.

The monsters appeared from all directions, forming small teams of five monsters each.

"Filin Orc Warriors"

"Level: 16"

"Filin Orc Archer"

"Level: 16"

Each squad has a 3+2 ratio, with 3 fighters and 2 archers.

Both the fighter and the archer are level 16.

At least 40 teams are scattered around.

From a distance, Jiang Chen looked as if he were surrounded by it.

Upon entering the second phase, not only did the monsters' level increase by one, but their numbers also doubled.

Jiang Chen wasn't worried about this. To him, it was just a level 16 monster.

Even without using the corpse explosion technique, just 20 skeleton warriors could easily kill all of these guys in a short time.

He was thinking about another problem at that moment.

"Given this level of difficulty, it would be very difficult for other professions to pass the second stage."

"Even if we manage to get through, it will take a lot of time."

The difficulty of the first stage was not considered high by Jiang Chen.

With a little effort, most professionals can get through it.

The second stage is much more difficult. Just by increasing the level by 1 and doubling the number of monsters, these two changes are enough to increase the difficulty several times over.

With the addition of archers, who are known as the nemesis of mages.

This change will deter most mage-type professions.

Historically, how many people have actually passed the fifth round of testing...?
