The Necromancer in the Wizarding World

The day of the points competition finally arrived, and Matthews' first battle also arrived. He was extremely excited and came to the college competition hall early, looking forward to the upcoming competition.

After the staff verified his identity tag and registration information, Matthews was told that he still needed to wait for his opponent Sanchez to arrive.

He thought that if he arrived early, he could enter the arena first and experience the legendary fragment world carefully. However, the fact was beyond his expectation. He waited for nearly two hours before Sanchez finally arrived.

Just when Matthews was getting a little impatient, the broadcast in the arena hall suddenly sounded: "Third-class apprentices Matthews and Sanchez, please go to Arena No. 38." Hearing the broadcast, Matthews immediately cheered up and followed the staff to Arena No. 38.

Afterwards, the two were led by staff to a stone chamber. They were informed of some competition rules and precautions. The most important one was: once entering the arena, the fight would begin. If one party admitted defeat, the winner could no longer attack the other party, otherwise they would not only be judged as losing the game, but also be severely punished by the academy.

The floor of the stone chamber was engraved with complex and mysterious magic runes, which flickered with a faint light, and were obviously the magic array used to transport them into the fragment world. He took a deep breath, calmed his excitement, and stepped into the magic array.

A powerful energy wrapped Matthews tightly, and after a dizzy moment, Matthews found himself in a completely new space, "Is this the fragmented world?" He only felt that this was a larger independent arena, and there was no trace of the world at all.

After the two of them were teleported in, they were a hundred meters apart. Matthews immediately cast a layer of "Magic Barrier".

However, unexpectedly, Sanchez did not rush to launch an attack, but began a long speech: "Matthews, I know your name, a genius in potions, and you also practiced death magic. However, your combat experience is really poor. As a fellow death warrior, you should be well aware of the power of death magic. During the apprentice stage, we cannot exert the true power of the power of death, and the main attack effect of its magic only relies on the mental deterrence of the power of death. But when both sides have the power of death, this means of attack will hardly have any effect."

Sanchez's frank words made Matthews realize that today's fight might be futile for him because his mental strength and magic power were far inferior to his opponent's.

However, Matthews was not willing to let it end like this. After all, this was his first time fighting with someone, and he still hoped to give it a try.

So, Matthews expressed his wish to Sanchez: "To be honest, this is my first time to fight with others, so I would like to ask fellow witches to cooperate with me so that I can experience the fun of fighting."

Sanchez was amused by Matthews' words. He himself had a quirk - he always liked to chatter to the experimental corpses. But he found Matthews to be an interesting anomaly.

Sanchez decided to fulfill Matthews' wish. He told Matthews that he would release a "death stun" spell and let Matthews experience it for himself.

Hearing this, Matthews could hardly believe his ears. This was a battle of magic? You must be kidding! In this cruel wizarding world, a battle of magic was usually a matter of life and death, and the other party had revealed his witchcraft so easily and invited him to experience it.

Sanchez's spellcasting was very smooth, and his staff never had any magical fluctuations. Obviously, "Death Dizziness" was the opponent's innate witchcraft.

Matthews did not cast any additional defensive spells, and when the opponent's death stun hit the magic barrier he had set up, it triggered a series of magic fluctuations. However, Matthews himself did not feel much discomfort. He only felt that the breath of the power of death was a little heavy, and his head was slightly shaking, but he did not feel a strong sense of dizziness.

This forced Matthews to admit that Sanchez was right at the beginning. He was still too young, lacked experience in fighting, and was not even wise enough in choosing his opponent.

"How is it? I didn't lie to you. We are both on the side of death, and this is what apprenticeship is like. The witchcraft we master is basically the same, and our understanding of the power of death is only superficial. Therefore, the fight between us did not have any intense effect." Sanchez said.

Matthews felt a sense of frustration rising in his heart. This kind of fight was not even as exciting as the games on Earth, not to mention the thrilling close combat he had experienced before.

However, the wizard's mental power is so sharp that Sanchez can clearly feel Matthews's emotional fluctuations. He comforted him, "Don't be discouraged. Our witchcraft is indeed not very effective on apprentices who are also on the death side, but if it works on other side systems, it is still quite good."

Although Matthews felt disappointed, he thought it was quite interesting to meet a talkative Death Side wizard apprentice like Sanchez. Since fighting had lost its meaning and the other party was willing to communicate, he might as well seize the opportunity to have a deeper discussion with the other party, so that it would not be a waste of the battle points he had paid.

"I majored in necromancy. May I ask which branch you studied, fellow wizard?" Matthews asked curiously.

"I majored in the dead soul department." Sanchez answered without hesitation, "This is a more difficult branch than the dead soul department!"

Matthews was silent. The dead soul system was indeed more abstract. He couldn't help but become interested: "You should know that the dead soul system has a magical dead soul witch array that can help the dead soul wizard communicate with the dead soul plane. I wonder if the dead soul system has similar witchcraft?"

Sanchez shook his head. "The classic dead soul magic is dead soul summoning, which allows wizards to summon and cultivate their own exclusive fighting souls. As the wizard's strength grows, the soul will become more and more powerful. A truly powerful soul can even fight with wizards of the same level without losing."

Matthews was shocked. The power of the fighting spirits was beyond his imagination. If he could cultivate a group of such spirits, wouldn't the dead soul wizard be able to fight against a hundred at once?

He couldn't help but ask Sanchez: "I wonder if you have ever seen your teacher's fighting spirit? What does it look like?"

Sanchez seemed extremely excited, as if Matthews' question had hit the nail on the head. "Of course I have. My teacher's soul is an ancient giant, whose power is even stronger than that of a bloodline wizard of the same level. Moreover, I also tell you that my teacher's soul also has a natural ability that can release absolute protection, which can be said to be both offensive and defensive!"

Matthews was shocked: "What? Souls can also cast witchcraft?"

Sanchez was very satisfied with the other party's shock: "It's not witchcraft, it's a natural ability! It's a natural ability that the ancient giants have. So, my teacher has almost no rivals in the same level. Once the soul appears, even the formal bloodline wizards have to retreat!"

Matthews was speechless by the other party's exaggerated words. He couldn't help but want to joke: "So exaggerated? I wonder if your teacher will still accept disciples. You've made me feel a little overwhelmed."

Sanchez couldn't help laughing after hearing this. "I'm afraid you can't do that. The Dead Soul system requires calmness and concentration. It's hard for someone like you who is distracted and looking around to achieve anything."

Matthews was not angry, he was just joking with him. He felt that although Sanchez was a bit talkative, he was willing to communicate and share, which was rare.

So he suggested: "I have really benefited a lot from communicating with you. Why don't we exchange spiritual imprints so that we can continue to discuss witchcraft in the future."

Sanchez readily agreed to Matthews' suggestion, and he also found the other party very interesting, which is not common in the death side.

The bell in the arena rang, announcing that an hour had passed. The decision echoed throughout the space: "Challenge failed! The challenger's score is reduced by one, and the challenged's score is increased by one."

The two men then left the playing field. Sanchez easily won his first victory of this points race.
