I, the Necromancer, will crush the gods!

Chapter 628 The Trial Begins, Skills Sealed

Faced with enemies rushing in from all directions, Jiang Chen decisively activated the "Gathering Power" skill brought by the character "者".

"Power Convergence: Gathers the power of the designated summoned creature, inherits all of the summoned creature's skills, and fuses some of the summoned creature's attributes. Duration: 5 minutes, Cooldown: 60 minutes."

Jiang Chen's mind flashed through the description of the Gathering Power skill.

"Five minutes isn't enough!"

There are too many enemies; 5 minutes is simply not enough time to kill them all.

He subconsciously checked his attributes and couldn't help but frown.

"Jiang Chen" "Level: 74"

Strength: 1000000

Agility: 1000000

"Spirit: 1000000"

Constitution: 1000000

"Skills: Berserk Slaughter, Elemental Riot, Soul Shot, Legion Enhancement, Legion Healing, Dispel, Charge, Group Defense, Saving Throw"

The four-dimensional attributes, with only 100 million for each attribute, are pitifully few.

Even without using the "Gathering Power" skill, my base Strength attribute is already 43, plus the 50 bonus from the Monarch's Scepter.

The combined strength and agility attributes already reach 93.

Its physical attributes reached 103 million.

Needless to say, the highest spirit attribute is already over 200 million, including the Monarch's Scepter.

Now that the Focus skill is used, the four-dimensional attributes are averaged, with each attribute only having 100 million.

It's even weaker than when not using "Gathering Power".

Jiang Chen felt like he had wasted his time using this skill.

Fortunately, he inherited skills from the skeleton, the headless horseman, and the lich general.

There is still a big difference between having skills and not having skills.

Jiang Chen first used the Legion Enhancement skill from the Lich General.

"Legion Enhancement (Level 7): All attributes increased by 70%, attack speed increased by 70%, casting speed increased by 70%, physical defense increased by 70%, elemental defense increased by 70%, control resistance increased by 70%."

All attributes were increased by 70%, reaching 170 million. The attack speed increase of 70% was particularly noticeable.

Jiang Chen felt his whole body filled with power and became light.

The enemy was now nearby. "It's starting!"

Filled with excitement, Jiang Chen let out a low shout, activated his skill, and charged towards the enemy.

Skill: Charge!

With the charge skill, the speed is as fast as lightning, 3000 meters per second, a speed that Jiang Chen has never experienced before.

The storage space was also sealed, making it impossible to retrieve the weapon.

If you don't have a weapon, then use your fists.

But it doesn't matter. Jiang Chen saw that the enemy had weapons in their hands: swords, spears, shields, bows, and so on. He could choose whatever he wanted.

The enemy appeared as a dark shadow, like thick smoke, with no discernible shape.

It seemed somewhat humanoid, yet constantly shifting shape. Especially when Jiang Chen approached with a gust of wind, the dark figure swayed violently from side to side.

Each dark figure was over five meters tall, far exceeding Jiang Chen's size.

Jiang Chen charged forward with his attack skill, crashing heavily into the dark figure before unleashing a punch.

With a deafening roar, the dark figure exploded on the spot.

The charge attack skill will deal five times the user's own strength attribute damage, which is quite powerful.

The shadowy figure caught Jiang Chen's two-handed greatsword before it even hit the ground.

Jiang Chen possessed immense strength; he effortlessly wielded the giant sword, which weighed over several thousand kilograms, with a single hand.

Just as Jiang Chen was blasting away one of the shadowy figures, the others pounced on him, unleashing a barrage of weapons.

The greatsword swept across, weapons clashing. Jiang Chen felt a jolt; his opponent's strength was not much less than his own. Without using any skills, their strengths were evenly matched, with Jiang Chen having a slight advantage.

Arrows flew in swiftly, and the archers had already launched an attack on Jiang Chen.

At this moment, Jiang Chen felt a force enter his body, but it was too late to sense what it was.

He dodged the arrow to the side, but more arrows came flying in, so Jiang Chen could only keep dodging.

The arrow was extremely accurate, seemingly locking onto Jiang Chen.

Jiang Chen dodged while fighting the shadowy figure.

He discovered that the shadowy figure not only possessed attack power nearly equal to his own, but also had unparalleled combat skills, not much inferior to his own.

If you don't use your skills, you really can't do anything about them.

More and more shadowy figures surrounded him, leaving Jiang Chen less and less room to maneuver. Jiang Chen steeled his resolve and activated his skill.

Skill: Elemental Chaos!

The skill from the Skeleton Archmage didn't lock onto any target; instead, it indiscriminately attacked an area within a hundred meters around him.

The elements exploded, creating a dazzling array of colors, which was incredibly beautiful.

Jiang Chen wasn't sure if this skill could kill the opponent, but he went over to finish them off while the elemental damage was still exploding.

With a series of sword strikes, another shadowy figure was killed, and Jiang Chen now wielded another two-handed greatsword.

Holding a two-handed greatsword in each hand, Jiang Chen wielded it with incredible speed.

The elemental rampage was quite effective, severely damaging the enemy, and Jiang Chen also took the opportunity to kill several people.

Jiang Chen discovered that with each kill, a strange aura would enter his body.

This aura was extremely faint; one wouldn't have noticed it if their soul hadn't been sufficiently sharp.

However, Jiang Chen never had time to find the whereabouts of this aura, as more and more shadowy figures surrounded him.

Jiang Chen fought frantically amidst the shadowy figures, fighting to the point of madness.

He hadn't engaged in such close-quarters combat in a long time, and this time he fought with great enjoyment.

Jiang Chen really enjoyed close combat. He had joined the battle at close range many times, transforming into a knight and leading his undead army to fight the bosses head-on.

Jiang Chen felt that he might have the potential to be a soldier.

As time became unbalanced, Jiang Chen fought more and more smoothly, and gradually figured out the shadow's fighting style.

They discovered that their combat skills were very strong, almost perfect.

It can be rigid and inflexible, lacking flexibility.

Moreover, they are extremely fragile, and often only a single blow is needed to kill them. Thus, Jiang Chen began trading injury for life.

Without using any skills, one sacrifices a few minor, insignificant injuries to save the opponent's life.

At this point, the Legion's healing abilities played a crucial role, and some superficial wounds could be healed in just one treatment.

Even if the injury is slightly more serious, two or three treatments will be enough at most.

In this situation, Jiang Chen would use his skills whenever he had them, and trade his life for his own.

The shadowy figure was quickly cleared away.

The first wave of black figures that charged in numbered over a thousand, but Jiang Chen wiped them all out with a single blow.

Jiang Chen only stopped when there were no more dark figures in sight.

Five minutes had long passed, yet the "Gather Power" skill was still active.

Jiang Chen was surprised. He was certain that when he used the skill, it felt exactly the same as before.

The five-minute skill demonstration is genuine.

However, as the battle progressed, the duration of the skill seemed to keep increasing.

"It must be because the shadowy figure was killed; killing the shadowy figure increases the skill's duration."

"So, as long as I kill fast enough, the power-gathering skill can last indefinitely."

"And towards the end of the battle, I felt as if my strength had increased again, and the twin swords had become lighter."

Jiang Chen checked his attributes.

The attributes have indeed increased, with each attribute now reaching 204 million.

"An attribute of 204 million means that the base attribute has reached 120 million."

"There were about 2000 shadowy figures just now. Each one killed increases your attributes."

Jiang Chen understood that killing the shadowy figure could not only increase the duration of the "Gathering Power" skill, but also increase basic attributes.

Moreover, based on his experience, Jiang Chen guessed that there couldn't possibly be only one round of assessments.

There will definitely be a second and a third wave.

If the trials of the "Origin Realm" were that simple, the success rate wouldn't be so low.

Sure enough, before Jiang Chen could even catch his breath, a new enemy appeared not far away.

This time it's a group of knights, fire knights.

They were engulfed in intense flames, clad in heavy armor, and their mounts were also covered in airtight armor.

Jiang Chen could tell at a glance that the opponent was not afraid of fire and had extremely high defense, making it much more difficult to deal with than the shadow.

Flames streaked across the sky like streaks of light, and the Flame Knight had already charged in. Jiang Chen tensed up and couldn't help but shout, "Damn it!"

The skill the opponent used was the same charge skill he had just used.

They actually used their own skills against themselves.

The charge attack is so fast that it covers a distance of several thousand meters in the blink of an eye.

Without a second thought, Jiang Chen swung his twin swords and unleashed the skill: Elemental Chaos!

Centered on itself, it exploded within a radius of 100 meters!
