Necromancer: A New Era

Chapter 41: First Battle of the Skeleton Sea in the Valley

In a dark hall, Tang Yue finished counting his fruitful results and walked towards the towering door in front of him with satisfaction. He gently opened the gifted magic book in his hand that contained deep dark magic power, and suddenly, an indescribable power surged out from the pages. A deep black hole slowly cracked in front of the door, as if leading to another unknown world. Tang Yue jumped in without hesitation and disappeared in the endless darkness.

When he stepped onto the solid ground again, a strong sense of crisis instantly enveloped his heart. He seemed to feel countless sharp eyes fixed on him, like a thorn in his back. Tang Yue had just regained his senses when he was horrified to find that a dense array of javelins were shooting at him. At this critical moment, a glimmer of light flashed in his hand, and an indestructible giant shield appeared out of thin air, protecting his body firmly. In just a moment, he was surrounded by javelins as thick as his arms, like a forest of spears.

Tang Yue looked up and saw that the surrounding hills were densely packed with orc warriors, their eyes were fierce and aggressive. In front of the orc warriors, a bear orc dressed as a general stood tall like a hill, holding a three-meter-long mace in his hand, exuding a suffocating pressure.

As the orc general waved his hand, all the orc warriors stopped their attack. The bear general slowly stood up, his three-meter-tall body casting a huge shadow in the sun. He walked towards Tang Yue with heavy steps, looking down at the tiny human from above. Tang Yue's heart sank, he realized that he might have been careless, but he still held the giant shield tightly in his hand, staring at the orc general who was approaching vigilantly.

When the orc general walked to within ten meters of Tang Yue, his loud voice exploded in Tang Yue's ears like thunder: "Human, you dare to break into our army camp and kill our priests. Today is the day you die!"

Tang Yue's eyes narrowed slightly. He was already surrounded, but he would never sit still and wait for death. He took a deep breath and responded loudly: "General of the Beast Tribe, the battle between the two tribes has already reached a life-and-death stage. Why bother to say more?" As he spoke, his staff appeared in his hand, and he began to think about how to escape.

The orc general snorted coldly, with a cruel light flashing in his eyes. "If that's the case, then put down your weapons and surrender obediently! Perhaps I can give you a quick death."

Before he finished speaking, the orc general suddenly raised the mace in his hand, and a strong airflow swept towards Tang Yue. Tang Yue quickly raised the giant shield to resist, but was still shocked by the powerful force and took a few steps back. He felt the huge force coming from his hand and sighed in his heart: "It's troublesome, this is a sixth-level warrior."

Facing a powerful enemy, Tang Yue did not retreat. He used the bone claw technique to try to restrict the orc general's movements. At the same time, he dodged and distanced himself, quickly formed seals with his hands, and cast the necromancy spell. Two hexagram magic circles appeared out of thin air, and then a large group of powerful skeleton soldiers emerged from the magic circle and surrounded the orc general. Tang Yue took the opportunity to cast the vision deprivation magic and launched a fierce offensive with the skeleton soldiers.

The orc general felt his eyes go dark, and he fell into endless darkness. But he did not panic. He held the mace tightly with both hands, and the earthy yellow fighting spirit covered the stick, and he resisted the first wave of attacks from the skeleton soldiers. He swung the mace violently, and a powerful force swept out, sweeping away all the skeleton soldiers who were close to him. He stepped forward like a demon god, and the fighting spirit impact spread out, smashing the surrounding skeleton soldiers into pieces.

Seeing this, the beast warriors in the distance took out their spears and prepared for the next round of projectile attacks. However, Tang Yue had already taken the opportunity to cast the only second-level wind magic he had learned - Wind Summoning. With the blessing of magic, his speed soared, and he began to break through the weak corner like a gust of wind.

Seeing Tang Yue trying to escape, the orc general angrily swung his mace, and large groups of skeletons were knocked away. However, there were too many skeletons and they surrounded him continuously. Although the attack of a single skeleton soldier did not cause much damage to him, he could not resist for a long time when the attacks were stacked up more and more. Tang Yue used the speed of wind magic to shuttle through the battlefield like a flash of lightning. He waved the staff in his hand, and three bone spears appeared out of thin air. With the magic power of the staff, they were much faster than usual. In just one breath, the three bone spears had already shot out. Tang Yue rushed in the direction of the bone spears at a high speed, trying to escape from this dangerous battlefield.

At this time, the orc warriors' javelins had already shot, but Tang Yue's speed was too fast, and the javelins missed behind him, leaving behind a forest of javelins that looked like a small forest. Tang Yue waved his hand while running, and a large number of ordinary skeleton soldiers appeared. They charged at the surrounding orc warriors like loyal guards, and the surrounding area fell into chaos for a while.

After Tang Yue broke out of the encirclement, he did not stop at all and rushed in the direction he came from.

He looked back at the chaotic battlefield behind him and secretly breathed a sigh of relief, as he had finally succeeded in breaking through.

But he knew that the orc general would not let him go easily, and the journey ahead would probably not be peaceful.

Tang Yue was thinking about how to deal with the situation while running, when suddenly he found a valley ahead.

The valley entrance is narrow, with steep peaks on both sides, forming a natural barrier. It is the valley we came from. After going out, to the east is the orc camp.

An idea occurred to him. Most of the orcs should have come to the valley, and there would not be many people in the main camp. Tang Yue decided to cross the valley and head towards the main camp.

Tang Yue sped up and rushed into the valley.

However, as soon as he entered the valley, he felt a powerful breath coming from the depths of the valley.

He was startled and immediately stopped, looking around vigilantly.

At this time, a deep voice sounded: "Boy, do you think you can escape?"

Tang Yue looked closely and saw a huge python appear in front of him, with an orc priest standing beside it.

The python's body was tens of meters long and as thick as a bucket, and its scales flashed with cold light.

It stuck out its tongue and stared at Tang Yue, its eyes full of hostility.

Thinking that things were not going well, Tang Yue dodged and kept some distance. The giant snake did not attack. Instead, it stared at Tang Yue with its vertical pupils, as if it was looking at delicious food, and its tongue flickered.

Tang Yue's forehead was covered with sweat as he cast a skeleton summoning spell. Countless skeleton soldiers flashing strange red light crawled out of the magic circle and charged towards the giant snake. At the signal of the priest, the giant snake swept its tail across, and large pieces of skeletons were swept away, quickly attacking Tang Yue.

Tang Yue was not panicked. He used the speed of wind magic to evade the attacks continuously. Every time he landed, he left a shadow arrow summoning spell. Soon, countless shadow arrows shot out, making the giant snake roar continuously. Due to its large size and the large number of skeleton soldiers surrounding it, skeleton soldiers were crawling all over its body, and long swords were inserted into its body, causing blood to splatter.

The giant snake felt so much pain that it began to roll in death, crushing a large number of skeleton soldiers.

Seeing that the giant snake was no match for its opponent and began to lose strength, the priest cast blood magic. A ball of red mist wrapped the giant snake. The giant snake gradually lost its mind and was no longer afraid of the pain on its body. It rushed towards Tang Yue madly with its huge mouth open, as if it wanted to swallow Tang Yue in one gulp. Seeing this, Tang Yue did not flee or evade. The staff in his hand flashed with black light, and a bone spear that was much thicker than usual condensed in the air.

The orc priest was horrified, but the giant snake went berserk and had lost its mind. As the giant snake's bloody mouth got closer and closer, Tang Yue's bone spear was completed and shot out, directly into the giant snake's mouth and pierced through in an instant.

The giant snake collapsed before it reached Tang Yue.

The orc priest felt extremely sad. This was his capable subordinate whom he had captured at great cost, but he was easily killed by this little 5th level necromancer.

There were still many skeleton soldiers around Tang Yue. Under Tang Yue's command, they began to rush towards the priest. Seeing this, the priest secretly thought that something was wrong and began to fly away. Tang Yue raised his eyes, waved his staff, and bone claws appeared. The priest was tripped to the ground. The priest waved his staff and smashed the close skeletons. The skeleton with only half of its body left was still waving its weapon to chop at the priest. The priest who was unable to block let out a miserable howl, and blood coated his whole body. In a panic, he took out the scroll from his arms, mobilized his magic power to activate it, and a ripple appeared. The surrounding skeleton soldiers were cleared. After getting up, he stopped running away and continued to use various scrolls.

In the dark night, Tang Yue's eyes gradually turned cold. He witnessed how the crystallization of human wisdom was ruthlessly plundered, and the magic that was originally used by humans has now become a weapon of the enemy.

The air around them suddenly trembled, and various magical elements began to gather, transforming into wind blades, water balls, and fireballs, flying around like brilliant meteors. However, this was not a celebration of fireworks, but the prelude to a life-and-death struggle.

In the distance, the roar of the pursuers was getting closer and closer, making Tang Yue's ears buzz. He knew that he could not kill the priest at this moment. So he cast the necromancy magic, and groups of skeleton soldiers rose up, like undead warriors summoned from the abyss of hell. He took the opportunity to rush into the dense forest nearby and escaped from the scene with the cover of the trees.

However, as the orc warriors surged in, the skeleton soldiers fell one after another under the siege, leaving only debris on the ground.

Tang Yue fled to the military camp and found that there were still many orc warriors left. He cast the necromancy magic again without hesitation, and a large number of skeleton warriors appeared out of thin air and besieged the orc warriors. He took the opportunity to evacuate, while constantly casting magic to cover his escape. However, the continuous use of magic consumed a lot of his mental energy, and he knew that he had to evacuate as soon as possible to recover his strength.

Although the remaining orc warriors were few in number, they were still caught off guard by the sudden attack. In a short period of time, they were beaten to pieces and suffered heavy casualties.

At this moment, an orc general with blood on his body caught up with him. Apparently, he had been blessed with powerful magic by the priest. Tang Yue's eyes twitched wildly, and he knew something was wrong. He knew that even if he ran away with all his strength, he would not be able to escape the pursuit of this general. Instead, he would exhaust his magic power in the process of escaping, and he would still die in the end.

So, he decisively ordered the skeleton soldiers to form a battle formation, ready to fight to the death with the orc general. The violent general rushed out of the valley wielding a mace, his eyes seemed to flash with crazy flames, and he had lost his mind. He launched the attack without saying a word, and a shock wave of fighting spirit condensed instantly hit, and the skeleton soldiers in the front row shattered and fell to the ground one after another.

The orc general was furious to the extreme. He fought with all his strength without any scruples, as if he wanted to vent all his anger on Tang Yue and his skeleton soldiers. However, Tang Yue was not afraid. He mobilized his gifted magic book to condense three huge fireballs that floated in front of him. When the orc general was about to get close, he suddenly shot out the fireballs. In the blink of an eye, the fireballs came in front of the general and exploded, turning into strange purple flames floating around. Many flames splashed directly on the general and infected his soul through the fighting spirit.

The burning sensation coming from deep in his soul made the orc general wail in pain. However, he did not give up the attack, but instead rushed towards Tang Yue with his mace more frantically. At this moment, a large number of orc warriors and priests also surrounded him and tried to completely destroy Tang Yue on the battlefield.

Faced with such a dangerous situation, Tang Yue did not panic. He commanded the surrounding skeleton soldiers to wield their weapons and rush towards the enemy. At the same time, he mobilized magic power to summon a large number of mutant skeleton soldiers. These mutant skeleton soldiers were tall and majestic, with red soul fire flashing on their bodies. Although there were fewer of them, the sense of oppression they exuded was no less than that of the orc warriors in front of them.

The melee broke out again, and the orc warriors' wails could be heard from time to time on the battlefield. Although Tang Yue had launched multiple spells at once, his mental strength was not enough to support him and he began to breathe heavily. However, he did not give up on defense and shot bone spears around him from time to time. At the same time, he had several huge skeleton soldiers holding weapons to guard him to prevent the enemy's sneak attack.

Seeing that the attack was unsuccessful, the orc priest mobilized a large number of orc warriors to surround Tang Yue in an attempt to trap him to death. He used dark magic to launch a sneak attack on the side, and many skeleton soldiers were destroyed and turned into powder under his corrosive magic.

However, Tang Yue did not sit still and wait for death. He began to use flesh and blood magic to attack the area where the orcs were densely packed. A large number of orc warriors were corroded by the flesh and blood magic and wailed but did not dare to retreat and could not break through the defense line of the skeleton soldiers. Tang Yue's mental strength was almost exhausted. Although the surrounding orc warriors had begun to decline, there were still many of them. This life-and-death struggle was still going on and it was hard to predict who would win or lose.
