Necromancer: A New Era

Under the cover of the cloak, Tang Yue's figure was looming, as if blending into the surrounding air. He walked slowly on the road of a small town very close to the Yugoslav Empire. This time, he chose to walk, wanting to get closer to the pulse of the land, feel the breath of every inch of the land, and explore ways to break through his cultivation. He still needed to cultivate his mind to break through the holy realm.

This town is surrounded by mountains. The natives here are mainly dwarves. Although they are short in stature, they have amazing strength and are good at forging and mining. The dwarves are straightforward and enthusiastic, which makes this town, although small in size, full of human touch and the flavor of life.

Tang Yue strolled along the streets of the town, his eyes wandering around, curiously looking at everything around him. On both sides of the street, the shops opened by the dwarves were like treasure chests, displaying a wide variety of exquisite weapons, sturdy armor, and those rare minerals and precious gems that shone with an alluring light.

After walking for a long time, Tang Yue saw a small teahouse. He pushed open the door and a fresh scent of tea hit him. He found a corner seat, ordered a cup of fragrant tea, and quietly listened to the noise and stories in the teahouse.

"Have you heard?" A dwarf man asked mysteriously, "Recently, a huge beast appeared in the southern forest."

"Giant beast?" Another person laughed disapprovingly, "There are many giant beasts in the forest, what's so strange about it."

"This time it's different!" The dwarf man was anxious. "This giant beast is inlaid with a huge gem that exudes the breath of soul! And its body is also covered with various natural alloy ores, each piece is sparkling, it's like a moving treasure!"

"What? Soul Gem?!" There was an uproar in the teahouse. Everyone's eyes lit up, and the light of greed and desire flashed in their eyes.

Tang Yue's heart was moved. In addition to traveling, the more important purpose of his trip was to find treasures that could enhance his strength. The soul gem on this mysterious beast was undoubtedly the treasure he had always dreamed of.

He put down the teacup in his hand, stood up and left the teahouse. He decided to go to the Adventurer's Guild to find out more about this mysterious beast.

The Adventurer's Guild is a gathering place for adventurers, gathering warriors and explorers from all over the world. Some of them come here to find treasures, some come here to hunt monsters, and some come here to explore unknown areas. The guild is bustling with people, full of adventure and passion.

Tang Yue walked to the counter and took out some gold coins to buy a detailed document about the southern forest. This document recorded the various monsters in the forest and their habits and weaknesses, and also included some rumors and clues about the mysterious giant beast.

He read the information carefully and gradually came up with a preliminary plan in his mind. He decided to go deep into the forest to look for the trace of the mysterious beast. Although he knew it would be an adventure full of unknowns and dangers, he was willing to give it a try for the sake of the shining soul gem.

However, when he went deeper into the forest, he found that the monsters here were more ferocious and cunning than described in the information. He had to move forward cautiously and fell into an irretrievable situation.

In the depths of the forest, Tang Yue walked through the winding paths for days like an explorer. Finally, in the depths of the dense forest, he found a trace of hidden traces. They were some huge footprints and the towering ancient trees destroyed by some huge force. They were like clues, guiding Tang Yue to explore deeper.

He followed these traces, passed through layers of fog, and finally came to a mysterious valley hidden in the embrace of mountains. Here, he was surprised to find the legendary beast. It was as tall as a mountain, and its body was inlaid with glittering gems, as if it was a masterpiece of nature. In its eyes, there was a fierce light, and the blood-red eyes stared at Tang Yue, the intruder.

During this period, it killed countless invaders like this, but these greedy creatures kept attacking it, making it mentally exhausted and furious.

Tang Yue stared at the huge beast, and a chill surged in his heart. He knew that it would be no easy task to take the gem from the beast. However, he did not back down, but instead ignited an even more ardent fighting spirit. He took a deep breath, calmed himself down, and prepared to face this unprecedented challenge.

After thinking about the battle plan, Tang Yue suddenly felt a faint light flash in his hand, and a gem containing powerful spiritual power suddenly appeared in his palm. This gem was a treasure made by the elves. For Tang Yue, it was like a powerful assistant in battle. Although it was extremely precious, at this moment, he did not hesitate to activate it.

As Tang Yue injected his spiritual power, the gem seemed to be activated, releasing a great spiritual force. With the help of the divine staff, he skillfully controlled these powers in his hands and began to draw mysterious summoning arrays in the air. These arrays were like nets in the sky, gradually spreading out in the valley.

As the chanting of the spell echoed in the valley, a chilly wind suddenly rose, and countless mutant skeleton warriors poured out of the magic circle like a tide. They stood densely around the entire valley, like an army of undead led by the god of death.

At Tang Yue's command, these mutant skeletons rushed towards the giant beast like they were injected with life. They fought a thrilling battle with the giant beast, and each attack hit the giant beast's indestructible body fiercely, making a crisp and shocking sound.

The behemoth roared and waved its huge claws to try to disperse the endless stream of skeleton warriors. However, with the blessing of Tang Yue's spiritual power, these skeletons seemed to have gained immortality. No matter how the behemoth attacked, they could quickly recover and continue to fight.

Tang Yue stood at the edge of the battlefield, holding the staff tightly in his hand, and continuously provided magic support to the skeleton warriors. He watched the fierce battle with a sharp gaze, looking for the flaws and weaknesses of the giant beast.

As time went by, the beast gradually showed signs of fatigue under the siege of countless skeleton warriors. Its movements became slow and clumsy, and every swing seemed to exhaust all its strength.

In the dark night, Tang Yue's eyes were like bright stars, and he keenly captured this opportunity. The giant beast in front of him, although its body was as tall as a mountain, had already shown signs of fatigue after experiencing a series of fierce battles with the skeleton warriors.

Tang Yue knew that this was the critical moment for him to turn the tide of the battle. He took a deep breath and concentrated all his mental power into a dazzling beam of light. The beam of light jumped and spun in his hand, as if it contained the power to destroy the world. With a low shout, the beam of light suddenly shot towards the giant beast.

This beam of light was like a meteor that cut through the night, carrying the dual power of destruction and rebirth, and it went straight to the weakness of the beast. This was exactly the eighth-level dark magic that Tang Yue had just learned - the Dark Meteor. It drew an elegant arc in the air, and then hit the chest of the beast fiercely.

The beast was already covered in wounds and its movements had become sluggish under the siege of the skeleton warriors. It watched the magic attack flashing with dark light coming at it, but it was powerless to dodge and could only bear the heavy blow.

"Roar!!!" Amid the beast's earth-shattering roar, the extremely dark meteor exploded. Under the huge impact force, a large amount of debris flew out of the beast's body in an instant, and it fell heavily to the ground like a mountain hit by a giant hammer.

Tang Yue saw that his attack was effective, and a sly light flashed in his eyes. He quickly controlled a large number of skeleton warriors to surround it. These warriors summoned by dark magic faithfully carried out their master's orders and continuously attacked the limbs of the beast. Under their siege, the limbs of the beast were quickly removed and turned into huge pieces of ore scattered all over the ground.

The battle ended more smoothly than expected, and Tang Yue couldn't help but feel secretly happy. He slowly walked forward and looked at the huge head of the beast. The big eyes that were as big as a giant door glared at him, as if expressing unyielding and anger.

However, to Tang Yue's surprise, the giant beast actually spoke: "Human! You win, please let me go!" Its voice was low and powerful, revealing a majesty that could not be ignored.

Tang Yue looked at the big guy with a hint of surprise in his eyes. He didn't expect that this seemingly savage beast actually possessed extraordinary intelligence. He became interested and asked, "Do you know human language?"

The giant beast nodded: "We, the Elemental Clan, have existed on this continent for tens of thousands of years. We know everything about you humans."

Tang Yue became even more curious: "You have wisdom, why have you fallen to this point?" Logically speaking, with the wisdom this guy has shown now, he should not have ended up like this and be hunted down by various bounties.

A complicated light flashed in the giant beast's eyes: "This is a bit complicated. Would you like to take the time to listen to my story?"

Tang Yue nodded: "I have plenty of time, and I am very willing to listen to your story!" He sat cross-legged, pretending to be all ears. For him, understanding the various stories and legends on this mysterious continent is also a way to learn and grow. And his intuition tells him that the story of this giant beast may not be simple.

"More than ten thousand years ago..."
