Necromancer: A New Era

The blood moon was in the sky, like a scarlet gem hanging in the night, emitting a creepy light. Under the moonlight, the entire castle was dyed with a strange red, as if it was trapped in an endless nightmare. In the shadows, everything became blurred, as if hiding countless secrets and dangers.

There was a kind of determination in Lagus's eyes, as if he had already accepted his fate. He knew that he was defeated at this moment, and it was also the moment for him to release his final strength.

Lagus began to concentrate, his soul burning in pain, as if he wanted to burn the fire of his life to the last moment. A faint light gradually appeared around him, which was the power of his soul being released, and the magic book seemed to respond to him, emitting a powerful light.

As the light grew stronger, the necromancer's body began to tremble. His skin became transparent, and his soul could be seen burning. His eyes flashed with a fiery light, as if to illuminate the whole world.

Finally, he used all his strength to gather all the burning soul power into a ball of energy. This energy shone with dazzling light and shot towards Dios with endless power. Under the impact of this powerful force, the surrounding air became distorted, as if it was about to be torn apart.

The undead Aaron held the shield in both hands and stood in front. When the energy collided with the big shield, a huge noise erupted.

“Bang~~~!!!”

The undead Aaron was hit by a huge force and suddenly slid backwards. He knelt on one knee and leaned sideways to hold the shield with all his strength. Seeing it withstood the impact of the energy, Lagus exploded. His soul gradually became blurred due to the full output. Lagus let out an unwilling and angry roar.

“Drink~ah!!!”

The energy exploded instantly, and suddenly, cracks appeared on the shield. Under the impact of energy, the cracks gradually enlarged, and finally the shield exploded into pieces. The energy hit the undead Aaron, and he flew backwards and hit the wall of the castle heavily. The huge body sank into the wall, and cracks spread out in all directions.

"Damn it!"

Feeling that the undead Aaron had suffered a great injury and the soul fire in his head was gradually dimming, Ming Yin hurriedly came forward, stretched out his hand and released the undead energy, trying to stabilize the dissipation of the soul fire.

As the injection continued, Ming Yin's face became paler and paler. Just when Ming Yin was about to give up, the dissipation trend stopped. Seeing that the soul fire was no longer dissipating, Ming Yin felt relieved. Just as he was about to get up, he felt dizzy and his body was shaking.

Chakaer rushed over, supported Mingyin steadily, and asked anxiously: "Sir! How are you?"

"It's okay, it just consumes a lot of energy."

As the energy was released, Lagus' body gradually became blurred, and the magic book seemed to have run out of magic power and fell to the ground, leaving only silence and emptiness.

Dios watched the changes in the field, marveling at the strength of the boy and his summons. At the same time, he came to Lagus with a lonely expression and said guiltily: "Lagus, this is all my fault. I promised my mother to take good care of you, but..."

"Shut up, you are not worthy of mentioning mother. It was your selfishness that killed her. Mother was seriously ill, and I went through so much trouble to get the water of life to save her, but you secretly took it away. Poor mother was still worried about you before she died. Let me forgive you!"

"No, Lagus, what you brought back was not the Water of Life. You were deceived. It was a scam by the rival Chamber of Commerce. In order to avoid being discovered by the rival Chamber of Commerce, I took away the fake Water of Life. Time was urgent and I didn't have time to inform you. I went to the Elf Forest in the south and spent a huge price to buy a bottle of real Water of Life. But when I came back, it was too late. All this is my fault. I should have come back earlier."

As he spoke, Dios knelt on the ground in pain.

"So your murder of my wife and children was also a hoax?"

"Well, I will tell you what happened back then. You ran away from home without listening to any explanation. I have been looking for you all these years. Because of your running away from home and your mother's death, it was a double blow. My father also passed away regretfully."

Hearing that his father passed away because of him, Lagus's face showed sadness.

"Ten years ago, our family business grew bigger and bigger, gradually replacing a lot of business shares of the largest chamber of commerce at that time, so they began to target us, but they were resolved one by one by my father and me. Finally, they turned their attention to my mother and the smart you. They first poisoned my mother at home, and then arranged for the necromancer to summon evil spirits to control your wife. At that time, you went to the imperial capital to study in advance and escaped. Your wife was controlled by the evil spirit and killed everyone in the castle, including your children. When I received the notice and rushed back, it was too late."

After hearing the truth of what happened, Lagus roared angrily: "What a vicious person! I hate him so much!"

"Over the years, I have been looking for you while taking revenge on the enemy Chamber of Commerce. Now they have been completely defeated and disintegrated by me. I have settled accounts with all those who participated in the incident. Unfortunately, after so many years, there is still no news about you."

Lagus looked at his brother kneeling on the ground, with gray hair on his temples. He had endured everything alone without any help. He had supported the family in the difficult situation where everyone was an enemy and helped him to get revenge. In an instant, sadness and guilt came over him.

"So that's how it is. I'm sorry, brother. I misunderstood you."

"Hearing Lagus' words, Dios felt relieved. No, you are not wrong. It is my fault that I did not take good care of you. Can you tell me about your experiences over the years?"

Lagus's soul became increasingly dim, and he slowly said, "That year, when I first arrived at the academy, I learned that my wife and children were killed by you. I wanted to come back to you to verify it in person. But I was bewitched by my good friend, and I believed his words, and attributed all my hatred to you, thinking that you were targeting me for the family property and wanted to kill me, so I went to the south and found a wizard. Under his guidance, I found this book of the dead in a tomb. At that time, my heart was filled with hatred, and in order to gain powerful strength, I signed a contract with the evil spirit and abandoned my body, parasitizing on this book of the dead, controlling the dead to come back for revenge."

Having said that, Lagus floated down from the sky, came to his brother, slowly knelt down, and said painfully: "I'm sorry, this is all my fault. Fortunately, this master is very powerful, so I didn't make a big mistake."

After that, he turned to Ming Yin and bowed deeply, "Thank you, thank you! Goodbye, brother, please forgive your ignorant brother." After that, in Dios's sad eyes, his last bit of strength also disappeared forever on this land.

After a long time, Dios came in front of Mingyin. Chakar wanted to stop him, but gave way at Mingyin's signal.

Dios bowed and said: "Thank you for everything you have done for us"

He waved his hand to signal the butler to bring the gold coins prepared in advance.

"Sir, please accept my small gift. If you need anything else, please let me know."

Ming Yin stood up, not paying attention to the gold coins, and came to the magic book and picked it up. Ming Yin held the magic book, thinking about something. He decided to take the magic book away and study the secrets in it. Perhaps, by studying this magic book, he could learn more magic knowledge and find out the secrets in the book.

"Forget about the gold coins. I'm not interested. Just consider this magic book as my reward."

"As you wish, it's yours now!"

Before leaving the castle, Ming Yin looked back at Dios. He knew that the pain in Dios' heart would take time to heal.

Ming Yin slowly left with the magic book. His figure gradually disappeared in the distance. What Ming Yin didn't know was that what happened tonight was written into a legendary story by the bard and passed down.
