Necromancer: A New Era

The battle arena of the Imperial Capital Academy was bustling with people today. Four level 5 mages stood at the four corners, casting a magic circle and building a temporary defensive barrier to protect everything in the arena.

On the huge platform, the sixth-rank knight Dio of the Alliance Empire had already arrived. He was quietly wiping the giant sword in his hand, as if injecting fighting spirit into his weapon. His partner, a huge earth dragon, lay beside him, occasionally swinging his thick tail, stirring up gusts of wind.

The stands were packed with people, and the audience was talking about it, looking forward to the next duel. Ariel came to the fighting field early in the morning, waiting for that person to appear with her friends. However, as time went by, Ming Yin did not come, which made Ariel a little anxious.

"Isn't that the genius in the Mage Tower scared?" someone whispered.

"After all, his opponent is a Level 6 knight, and he has such a powerful pet." Another person echoed.

"Don't talk nonsense, I believe in the genius of our academy. So what if he's at level 6? He can still beat his opponents!" someone retorted.

Just as everyone was talking, a noise came from afar. A young man holding a cat slowly walked over. He had a stern face and was wearing a tight black suit, which made him look very handsome. His deep blue eyes seemed to be able to see into people's hearts. He was Ming Yin, the genius wizard that everyone had been waiting for for a long time.

Ming Yin threw the cat down, and it instantly grew larger, returning to its three-meter size. He leaped up and rode on it steadily. It was a fifth-level purple crystal demon lion, mighty and domineering, causing everyone to marvel.

The Amethyst Demon Lion jumped into the middle of the field and confronted Dio and his Earth Dragon. At this moment, the whole field was silent, and everyone was waiting for the start of this exciting duel.

The 5th-level mage who was the referee floated in and asked both sides whether they wanted to change the rules of the life-and-death battle. Ming Yin shook his head calmly, and Dio replied coldly: "No change!"

Following the mage's command, the surrounding barriers rose up, and the battle was about to begin. Dio jumped lightly and rode on the earth dragon, which immediately roared loudly. As the fighting spirit ignited, the entire fighting field was filled with a tense and exciting atmosphere. Ming Yin sat quietly on the back of the purple crystal magic lion, with a firm light flashing in his deep eyes, as if he was ready to meet the challenge.

Ming Yin came alone today, without his inseparable undead companion Aaron. He did this to test his progress in magic cultivation over the past year.

In the silence, Ming Yin chanted an ancient spell softly. With a wave of his arm, a mysterious magic circle slowly lit up on the ground. Then, a group of skeleton warriors crawled out of the magic circle, and the weapons in their hands flashed a chilling cold light.

"Hiss, he...he actually mastered the magic of necromancy!" someone exclaimed.

"He didn't show this skill yesterday?" another person asked in surprise.

"With this kind of power, can these low-level skeletons really be useful against a level 6 knight?" the third person asked doubtfully.

In the stands far away, sisters Anna and Lina were wearing black robes and watching quietly. They were practitioners of light magic and had an instinctive aversion to necromancy. However, Anna found that there was no evil in Ming Yin's necromancy, but instead revealed a pure dark power.

A hint of coldness flashed in Lina's eyes. She firmly believed that aliens like Ming Yin must be purified.

At this moment, Dio's eyes narrowed. He saw that Ming Yin's skeleton army was not strong. With a contemptuous smile, he charged without hesitation, swinging his sword, and the sword energy was crisscrossed, and several skeletons were instantly smashed to pieces.

Ming Yin was not panicked at all. He waved his staff and more skeleton warriors emerged from the magic circle. At the same time, he cast a vision deprivation magic to restrict Dio's attack. The purple crystal demon lion also roared loudly, so fast that only an afterimage was left. It leaped and jumped, causing the earth dragon to roar.

Seeing this, Dio knew he couldn't delay any longer. A faint light flashed in his hand, and the greatsword disappeared, replaced by a three-meter-long knight's spear. As the fighting spirit covered the spear body, it looked domineering. The earth dragon also let out a deafening roar, shook off the skeletons on its body, and flicked its tail, turning several skeletons into powder.

Under Dio's command, the earth dragon returned to its original size, transforming into a giant beast over ten meters tall. Ming Yin raised his eyes, and the purple crystal demon lion under him also roared and returned to its original size. Although it was slightly smaller, its momentum was not weaker at all.

Ming Yin jumped away from the Purple Crystal Demon Lion. As he left, the Purple Crystal Demon Lion seemed to regain its wildness, roaring loudly and rushing towards the Earth Dragon. Dio also jumped off the Earth Dragon, which was just what he wanted. He was originally worried about not being able to touch Ming Yin, and now Ming Yin's behavior was simply courting death for him. He burst out at full speed and rushed towards Ming Yin, intending to kill him with one blow.

However, Ming Yin raised his lips slightly and chanted a spell softly. Countless bone hands suddenly appeared on the ground and tightly grasped Dio's feet. Dio struggled hard, but found that there were more and more bone hands, as if he was trapped in a quagmire.

At this moment, the Amethyst Demon Lion took the opportunity to pounce, and its sharp claws fiercely grabbed the Earth Dragon. The Earth Dragon roared in pain and turned to fight the Amethyst Demon Lion. Ming Yin took the opportunity to concentrate on controlling the Skeleton Army to besiege Dio. Dio blocked left and right, and every time he was about to break out of the siege, a visual deprivation magic would hit and disrupt his rhythm.

At this moment, the staff in Ming Yin's hand suddenly shone with a strange light. A purple flame shot towards Dio like an arrow, and the climax of the battle came. The purple flame was about to hit Dio, but he shouted loudly, and his whole body of fighting spirit burst out, and he forcibly shattered the flame. But this attack also caused him some minor injuries, and a trace of blood flowed from the corner of his mouth.

Ming Yin frowned slightly. He didn't expect Dio to be able to break his Dark Flame Technique so easily. He decided to change his strategy and waved his hand to let the Skeleton Army hold Dio back while he quietly approached the Earth Dragon.

The battle between the Earth Dragon and the Amethyst Demon Lion became more and more intense, and both sides were covered with wounds. Ming Yin saw the opportunity and released a vision deprivation to assist the Amethyst Demon Lion. The Earth Dragon paused and its rhythm was disrupted. The Amethyst Demon Lion took the opportunity to use its innate ability and sprayed out a powerful amethyst breath towards the Earth Dragon. However, the Earth Dragon instinctively sensed the danger and a yellowish-brown energy appeared around its body, and the amethyst breath was easily blocked.

Dio sensed the Earth Dragon's passiveness and leaped into the air, ready to deal a fatal blow to Ming Yin. However, Ming Yin was well prepared. He waved his magic wand lightly, and three huge fireballs modified by the Dark Flame Technique shot towards Dio in a triangular shape, trapping Dio in them.

Dio shouted loudly, swung the knight's spear in his hand, broke through the fireball and rushed towards Ming Yin. He was worthy of being a level 6 magic. Such a powerful magic could not cause any substantial harm to him.

Dio in mid-air fell like a meteor, with unrivaled might. At the critical moment, the Amethyst Demon Lion flew forward to resist, but before he could release his defense, Dio's attack had already arrived. With a loud bang, the Amethyst Demon Lion was severely injured. The long spear wrapped in fighting spirit easily broke through the defense with great force and pierced into the body of the Amethyst Demon Lion. At the same time, with inertia, the body of the Amethyst Demon Lion was quickly hit by the huge force and flew backwards, hitting the defensive barrier heavily. As expected of a 6th-level knight, he severely injured the 5th-level Amethyst Demon Lion with just one blow. At the same time, the huge force generated by the collision knocked Ming Yin to the ground. Dio suddenly pointed his spear, and a long spear phantom formed by fighting spirit rushed over, nailing Ming Yin to the ground fiercely. The long spear phantom pierced through his lower abdomen, bringing up a large amount of blood. Looking at the embarrassed Ming Yin, he grinned: "You are really weak at the 4th level! What other means do you have?"

Ming Yin looked at the severely injured Amethyst Demon Lion with cold eyes. He said coldly: "There is a saying in my hometown that villains die because they talk too much!" After saying that, he cast a summoning spell without hesitation, and a hexagram magic circle was constructed, and the demon figure appeared.

Although Dio didn't understand what Mingyin meant, he could feel the tremendous pressure brought to him by the devil's power. The earth dragon was also roaring uneasily. He had to kill Mingyin before the devil appeared, so he thrust forward with a spear.

After the devil appeared, he was about to salute when he felt Dio suddenly rushing towards him. The devil waved his hand, and several flames from hell formed from the void, condensing into a huge flaming hand, which hit Dio. With a scream, Dio was swatted away like a fly, and the ground dragon next to him trembled and dared not attack.

The demon came to Ming Yin and bowed, "Master, are you injured?"

"It's okay, let's deal with him first!" After saying that, a stream of flesh and blood energy condensed from the void and flew into the abdomen, and the huge penetrating wound slowly healed. I was still a little too arrogant. The terrifying power of the 6th-level knight could not be compensated by skills. Thinking of this, Ming Yin sighed secretly! I almost fell.

After receiving the order, the demon teleported to the vicinity of the earth dragon and threw a punch without waiting for its reaction. The fist with terrifying power hit its head heavily, and at the same time added a flame. The earth dragon wailed, and then the flames fell, wrapping its whole body and burning it. At this moment, Dio had already stood up and looked at the demon. Although he was prepared, he still suffered a loss.

Dio thought to himself, "There's something strange about his summoning speed. Why is it so fast?"

Without hesitation, a glimmer of light flashed in his hand, and a scroll appeared. With the infusion of a trace of spiritual power, the scroll opened, and a magic array was constructed in the void. An alchemical puppet appeared, which was a huge 7th-level fire element puppet. Then another scroll was taken out, releasing space fluctuations, and the entire fighting field was sealed off.

At this moment, Ming Yin had recovered a little. The demon was preparing to finish off the earth dragon when a huge fire spell came. The demon sensed the danger and subconsciously tried to teleport, but it failed. He had no choice but to take it head-on. His innate flame condensed and the next moment he was enveloped by flames.

Seeing that the demon was being held back, Dio thought it was a good opportunity to kill Ming Yin. He condensed his fighting spirit into the tip of his gun, and with a burst of energy, he rushed forward.

Seeing this, Ming Yin deprived Dio of his vision, and then rolled over to distance himself. At this time, the Amethyst Demon Lion's innate breath hit Dio's chest. Because it was too sudden, Dio, who was hit by a huge force, screamed and flew backwards. Ming Yin fired two ice spears and summoned the Dark Flame at the same time. Dio's soul was burned and he was in great pain. He never expected that the seemingly low-level spells would cause him to suffer such a big loss.

Ming Yin would not give Dio any chance. The fear spell combined with the second breath of the Amethyst Demon Lion hit Dio directly. After several blows, Dio's fighting spirit was visibly weakened.

Dio was shocked. He had never expected that a 4th-level necromancer could display such a variety of spells. The casting of those spells was smooth and natural, and the connection between the techniques was just right, which made Dio passive in the confrontation.

Dio knew that if he did not take action, he would face a crisis of life and death. So he resolutely decided to go all out and use all his strength to resist the fierce breath of the Amethyst Demon Lion.

On the battlefield not far away, the demons were fighting fiercely with the fire elemental puppets. Due to the inherent strength of the demon race, the fire elemental puppets fought hard but were still at a disadvantage.

Ming Yin witnessed Dio's astonishing burst of power and couldn't help but sigh in his heart, the gap in strength was too big, is this the power of the sixth level?

However, he was not distracted by this, and his movements were still swift and precise. In order to buy time, he summoned his bone hand to delay the battle, and at the same time mobilized the power of his innate necromancy book to forcibly release his newly mastered 5th-level necromancy magic - bone spear. Then, the necromancy book flashed out, and Ming Yin chanted a low spell, as if the door to the underworld was slowly opened. A pure dark force gradually condensed in front of him, and finally turned into a huge white bone spear with black gas. The tip of the bone spear flashed with a chilling light, demonstrating its extraordinary power.

Dio suddenly felt a chill on his back, as if he was being stared at by the god of death. He had no time to think, and quickly raised his lance, determined to fight Ming Yin with all his might, and must put him to death.

He took a deep breath, and all his strength surged into the lance, which immediately emitted a blazing heat. He locked onto Ming Yin's figure, and then suddenly threw the lance with all his strength.

At the same time, Ming Yin also completed the spell in his hand, and a bone spear emitting a dark aura shot out. The bone spear and the lance crossed each other in the air, and then each drew an arc and shot towards the other. Under this huge impact, the two were knocked back at the same time.

Dio groaned in pain, gushing out large mouthfuls of blood. The bone spear pierced through his chest and abdomen with great force, leaving a wound as big as a bowl, blood dripping, and a dark aura lingering around him, with wisps of black smoke.

Ming Yin was also severely injured, his right shoulder disappeared without a trace, and the wound spread all the way to his waist. This horrific injury made the audience in the surrounding stands gasp, and Ariel couldn't help but exclaimed.

Despite the unbearable pain, Ming Yin still resisted the urge to faint and quickly mobilized the blood and flesh energy in his gifted magic book to repair his wounds. Fortunately, he prepared enough energy in advance, otherwise he would not be able to escape today.

In the end, Dio was defeated. He, a dignified rank 6 knight, was defeated by a rank 4 boy who was only in his teens.

He took out an ancient scroll from his space ring and chanted a spell in the language of the demons. The scroll slowly unfolded, releasing a powerful magic power.

The principal in the stands suddenly realized something and exclaimed, "Oh no! That boy is a spy from the demon clan!"

This scroll was a gift that Dio received from his ancestors during a sacrifice. It contained an eighth-level Hellfire spell, which was enough to instantly kill any existence below the eighth level.

The demon noticed the scroll Dio took out and the demon language he was reciting, and instantly understood the power of the scroll. It knew that if its master died, it would also face destruction. Thinking of this, it desperately broke free and rushed towards Ming Yin, blocking Ming Yin in front of him just before the divine art descended.

The magic instantly hit the demon, followed by the fire element. After the magic power dissipated, the demon fell to the ground dying. At this time, a huge fist of the fire element puppet hit the demon's head heavily, and the demon, who had lost his power, was killed instantly.

When the Fire Element Puppet's fist smashed towards Ming Yin, the Amethyst Demon Lion stepped forward and bit the Fire Element Puppet's arm, successfully blocking the fatal blow for Ming Yin. However, just as the Fire Element Puppet was about to kill the Amethyst Demon Lion, it suddenly stopped moving, and then turned into a ball of fiery red energy and dissipated into the air.

Dio eventually lost his ability to hold on, and his spiritual power dissipated, causing the puppet to lose its power and dissipate. The battle ended with Dio's death.

The principal, who had already rushed to the sidelines, secretly breathed a sigh of relief. At his command, the barrier dissipated. He flew in front of Ming Yin, and at this time, Hekris also flew down. He couldn't help but frowned when he saw Ming Yin's wound. This kid was really too desperate.

With the arrival of several high-level priests, they jointly cast high-level healing magic. With the help of flesh and blood energy, Ming Yin's body gradually recovered.

The students watching outside the field were discussing the battle enthusiastically. They cheered for this wonderful duel, which satisfied all their fantasies about battle. The mysterious necromancy, the duel between high-level knights and magicians, the clever combination of various spells to defeat the strong with the weak, and the full-force collision between high-level demons and puppets all opened their eyes.

Ariel also rushed down at this moment, and asked the priest about Ming Yin's condition with concern. However, Ming Yin had fainted at this moment. Fortunately, the death of the demon did not bring him any backlash damage, otherwise the consequences would be disastrous.

After the treatment, Hercules picked up Mingyin and left the battlefield. Someone else was responsible for handling the rest of the matter, including the devil spell Dio used at the end, which also needed to be properly resolved. As the crowd gradually dispersed, this thrilling battle came to a successful conclusion.
