Necromancer: A New Era

The drums of war rumbled, and on the stage, a small skeleton wielded a bone sword, fighting fiercely with a burly lion warrior. Every flash of the sword was accompanied by the sound of bones and muscles colliding fiercely, echoing in this arena filled with a murderous atmosphere.

The little skeleton's movements were swift and fierce, and the bone sword in its hand seemed to have life, drawing a series of eerie tracks as it swung. However, facing the lion warrior who had burst into power, the little skeleton gradually showed signs of weakness. Every time the lion warrior swung his sword, it was like a crushing force, as if to chop all obstacles into dust.

Finally, in a fierce battle, the little skeleton was chopped away by the lion warrior's explosive horizontal slash. Its body drew a long arc in the air and finally fell heavily at Tang Yue's feet. The audience exclaimed, they thought the battle was about to end.

However, what was unexpected was that the little skeleton stood up quickly the moment it landed, and took a defensive posture. Although there were a lot of cracks on its body bones, this tenacious fighting spirit moved everyone present.

Tang Yue's eyes narrowed as he saw the indomitable spirit and perseverance of the little skeleton. Without hesitation, he immediately waved his staff and summoned thousands of skeleton warriors to buy time for the little skeleton to recover. Then, he used the Blessing of the Dead, and a large amount of pure death energy wrapped around the little skeleton, slowly repairing the scars on its body.

The lion warrior wanted to pursue the victory and defeat the little skeleton in one fell swoop. But a large number of skeleton soldiers suddenly appeared and blocked his way. He roared angrily and swung the sword in his hand more violently. For a moment, the sword energy was crisscrossed and killed the approaching skeleton soldiers one by one.

The audience was shocked as they watched this scene. They had never seen such a fierce battle before. Both sides fought back and forth, neither giving in, as if they would not stop until the other side was completely destroyed. This level of battle was far beyond their imagination.

With Tang Yue's help, the little skeleton's injuries were recovering at a speed visible to the naked eye. The cracks on its bones were gradually healing under the nourishment of the dead energy, and its strength was returning bit by bit. It looked at Tang Yue in a humane way, as if expressing its inner gratitude.

The next moment, the little skeleton suddenly burst out with a powerful momentum and rushed towards the lion warrior again. A black smoke surged from its body, which was the pure dark essence given to it by Ephisad. With the blessing of this essence, the little skeleton's strength was greatly improved, and it seemed to have turned into an indestructible war machine.

Tang Yue felt the changes in the little skeleton, and a look of surprise appeared on his face. He felt the familiar breath, which was the power of Ephisade. He couldn't help but think in his heart: "Did this little guy actually receive Ephisade's teachings? It's really unexpected."

The lion warrior had just finished cleaning up a group of crazy skeleton warriors when he saw the special skeleton he had repelled rushing back again. A hint of surprise flashed in his eyes, but more of it was anger and fighting spirit. He roared, his muscles bulging exaggeratedly in anger, and wielded his greatsword to meet the attack of the small skeleton.

"Boom~boom~boom~"

Every collision between the two sides caused a huge roar, as if the entire ring was going to be destroyed. Fortunately, the ring was blessed with a barrier, so it could withstand this powerful force. But even so, the barrier also emitted waves under the fierce battle between the two sides, like a balloon that could burst at any time.

The audience was completely stunned by the battle. They had never seen such a fierce duel. Mu Xi covered her mouth in surprise. She couldn't believe it. This was far beyond her imagination. She couldn't help but worry about her ranking. But when she thought of the possible consequences, she immediately gritted her teeth and plucked up her courage: "Don't give up, Mu Xi, you can do it!"

On the battlefield, the dust gradually dissipated, revealing the figures of both sides. The lion warrior was surprised to find that the skeleton was as strong as him. He couldn't believe it for a moment, but his naturally belligerent character made him even more excited. It had been a long time since he had encountered such a hearty battle, and today he could finally have a good fight.

So, he rushed towards the little skeleton with all his strength, no longer using any skills, but colliding with the little skeleton with the purest strength. The little skeleton was not to be outdone, waving the bone sword to meet it. The battle between the two sides once again entered a white-hot stage, and the scene became very tragic.

Tang Yue stood quietly at the edge of the battlefield, his deep eyes gleaming with brilliance, watching the brave figure of the little skeleton. He couldn't help but feel a wave of emotion in his heart. Who would have thought that this little skeleton that he had summoned unintentionally could grow to such a level now, and with the strength of only 8th level, he could fight against the Saint-level lion warrior.

The battle has entered a white-hot stage. The little skeleton wields the bone sword, and every slash carries a fierce momentum. The dark power in its body is fully stimulated at this moment, making it almost a tireless fighting machine. Although the lion warriors are powerful, they can't help but feel a little stretched under the almost crazy offensive of the little skeleton.

However, Tang Yue knew that such a battle could not be dragged on for too long. Although the little skeleton performed well, the gap in strength was still obvious. The longer it dragged on, the more disadvantageous it would be for them. He took a deep breath and made a decision in his heart.

Tang Yue waved the staff in his hand gently, and the awkward spell slowly came out of his mouth. This was the "Blessing of the Dead", a powerful spell that could greatly increase the combat effectiveness of undead creatures in a short period of time. As the spell was completed, a mysterious force descended on the little skeleton, causing its momentum to soar again.

The little skeleton felt the blessing of this power, and the scarlet light in its eyes became more blazing. It let out a low roar, wielding the bone sword and launching a new round of fierce attacks on the lion warriors. At this moment, it seemed to have surpassed its own limits and became an unrivaled existence on the battlefield.

The lion warrior looked solemn. He could feel the increasingly powerful aura of the little skeleton. He did not dare to be careless and responded to every attack with all his strength. However, even if he tried his best, he still could not completely resist the surging attack of the little skeleton.

Seeing this, Tang Yue nodded secretly in his heart. He knew that the effect of "Blessing of the Dead" had begun to show. However, he was not satisfied with this. He wanted not only to suppress his opponent, but to defeat him completely.

So, he waved his staff again and began to chant another more powerful spell - the Dark Flame Spell. This was a spell that could burn the soul, and its power was so great that it was enough to terrify any living being.

As the spell was chanted, a breath from the depths of the underworld spread throughout the field. This breath was cold and strange, as if it could devour all life. Under Tang Yue's control, this breath slowly flew towards the little skeleton, and the next moment it exploded into countless purple flames, entwining the little skeleton's bone sword.

The little skeleton subconsciously raised the bone sword, and saw the sword covered with purple flames, burning fiercely. These flames were different from ordinary fires, they seemed to be able to directly burn the soul, making the little skeleton feel a little bit of piercing pain. However, this pain did not make the little skeleton retreat, but instead stimulated its fighting spirit.

It brandished the bone sword wrapped in purple flames and charged at the lion warriors again. This time the attack was more fierce and more crazy. Each blow seemed to be able to tear the space apart, making the lion warriors feel unprecedented pressure.

The lion warrior was in a state of disgrace at this moment, with more and more scars on his body, and every collision with the little skeleton made him feel a sharp pain. He was filled with horror and unwillingness, he could not imagine that he would be forced to this point by an 8th-level skeleton soldier.

However, what frightened him even more was the bone sword wrapped in purple flames in the little skeleton's hand. The sword seemed to be cursed, and every time he was touched by it, he would feel the pain of his soul being burned. This pain went deep into his bones and directly into his heart, making it almost unbearable for him.

After several fierce battles, the two finally pulled away from each other. The bone sword in the little skeleton's hand had a lot of cracks, but it still stood there steadily, and its breath was not reduced but increased. The lion warrior was already hunched over, kneeling on one knee, holding the sword and gasping for breath, obviously he had been seriously injured.

At this moment, the lion warrior's body suddenly trembled, he seemed to be happy, excited, and even laughed out loud. Although he looked extremely embarrassed at the moment, his laughter seemed extremely strange and harsh.

“Hehehe…Hahahahahahahaha!!!” He laughed crazily, “You were able to push me to this point, I really admire you! But, the game ends here! Next, I will let you see my true power!”

After saying this, the lion warrior's aura suddenly surged, and a more powerful force gushed out of his body and rushed straight into the sky. Obviously, he had not shown his full strength before, and now he planned to use all his strength to end this battle.

However, facing the reaction of the lion warrior, purple fire danced in the hollow eye sockets of the little skeleton. It felt the change of the lion warrior, but was not afraid. The long-term high-intensity battle made its dark origin, which was about to be refined, merge with it at this moment. The next moment, its aura surged more than a hundred times, and the dark origin completely merged with it. It was delighted by this power. Tang Yue looked at the amazing scene in front of him, and his heart moved, "Holy Land!"

Feeling the change in the strength in its body, it looked at the lion warrior excitedly. Then, the bone sword in its hand ignited with a blazing purple flame again, and it rushed towards the lion warrior.

The two collided instantly, and the energy overflowed for a moment, and the surrounding space was slightly distorted. The little skeleton's swordsmanship was sharp, and each strike carried the power of a sure kill; the lion warrior's power was violent, and each strike was like a mountain crushing an egg.

In the fierce battle, the little skeleton suddenly changed its moves, abandoning its defense and fighting for its life. The bone sword pierced the lion warrior's heart, the blow was as fast as lightning and extremely cruel.

The lion warrior was horrified. He didn't expect the little skeleton to be so determined. He tried his best to avoid the attack, but it was too late.

Puff! The bone sword pierced the lion warrior's chest, and the purple flame spread along the wound, engulfing him in an instant.

The lion warrior let out a shrill roar. He was unwilling to die just like that. His strong vitality allowed him to make a final struggle.

But the little skeleton would not give him a chance, it kicked the lion warrior in the stomach and kicked him away. The lion warrior fell heavily to the ground and there was no movement anymore.

The little skeleton walked to the body of the lion warrior and pulled out the bone sword. The purple flame gradually extinguished, revealing the original appearance of the sword - it was covered with cracks.

The little skeleton looked at the bone sword in his hand, then threw it to the ground. He turned and left, leaving a mess behind.

At this time, the referee appeared in the field with a dull expression and shouted: "Tang Yue wins!"

Tang Yue looked around, not caring about the expressions of the audience around him. He waved his hand, and a space gate appeared, taking the little skeleton into it. He slowly walked down the stage, leaving the audience around him, bursting into earth-shaking shouts of surprise.

In the distant City of Hope, Efizzard opened his eyes and said, "Did you absorb it? You have a great talent!" But then he thought that it was the work of the master, so it was not so special. Then he closed his eyes and continued to digest the soul power of the demigod-level gods.
