Necromancer: A New Era

In the dim night, Anna stared at her sister Lina's back as she walked away, and she felt an inexplicable irritation in her heart. The sister who had obeyed her in everything for many years seemed to be out of her control. In all these years, she had never seen Lina quarrel with her so fiercely for a man, especially when this man was a necromancer who was not tolerated by the world.

Tang Yue's handsome face was like the embodiment of evil in Anna's eyes. No matter how charming his appearance was, it was difficult to cover up the darkness in his heart. This darkness was like a stain that could not be washed away.

"It seems I need to plan carefully." Anna thought to herself.

At this moment, Carles walked in. He bowed and said respectfully, "Your Highness, I have found out the situation!"

"Oh? Tell me quickly!" Anna said eagerly.

Carles repeated Tang Yue's story verbatim, and as he spoke, Anna's brows gradually furrowed. If the situation was really as Tang Yue said, then the problem would be tricky.

"Is everything he said true?" Anna asked doubtfully.

"Your Highness, have you forgotten my talent?" Carles asked back with a confident smile on his face.

Anna glanced at Calais and felt relieved. Indeed, she almost forgot Calais' unique talent - Deception Perception, which enabled him to easily identify lies.

"This matter is of great importance," Anna said after thinking for a moment, "We will set off back to the Vatican tomorrow morning!"

"Your Highness, what should be done with Tang Yue? Should he be tried?" Carles asked.

Anna hesitated for a moment, then made a decision: "Keep him under strict supervision first. I will personally bring him back to the Vatican."

"Yes, Your Highness!" Carles replied.

At the same time, in a deep corner of the dungeon, Tang Yue sat quietly, as if the filth and stench around him had nothing to do with him. He closed his eyes and devoted himself to meditation, feeling the mysterious power of necromancy surging in his body.

In the darkness, mysterious runes and spells emerged in his mind. He chanted silently, guiding the dark energy around him. Suddenly, he opened his eyes, with an irrepressible joy on his face: "I finally broke through! Level 6!"

On the mainland, only those who have reached the sixth level of strength can be considered to have truly entered the ranks of the strong. Tang Yue felt the spiritual power surging in his body, as if he saw the hope and light of the future.

After the excitement in Tang Yue's heart, he seemed to have passed through an invisible barrier and stepped into a deep spiritual world. There, a towering soul body tightly bound by golden runes stood, and the breath it exuded was clearer and stronger than ever before. A trace of pure and flawless soul energy quietly overflowed like a trickle, and those rune chains that were once bright and dazzling now seemed dim, as if they were being quietly melted by some invisible force.

Tang Yue stared at the soul, and an inexplicable sense of familiarity surged in his heart. "What on earth is this? Why do I feel so familiar with it, as if it is me and I am it?" His heart was filled with confusion and desire.

He stretched out his shaking hands, trying to touch the soul body and feel the breath of life blowing towards him. However, his fingers seemed to penetrate through layers of fog, and he only touched nothingness. Unlike the pain he had felt before, at this moment, he only felt a deep sense of powerlessness.

But Tang Yue did not give up. He tried his best and tried again and again. Finally, after his unremitting efforts, he felt a faint touch. It was a warm and soft feeling, like being gently embraced by a mother's arms.

At this moment, the vast soul energy surged into his spiritual space like a flood that broke through a dam. Along with it came countless complicated memory fragments, which were like sharp blades, cutting his consciousness.

"Ah!!!" In the dungeon, Tang Yue held his head tightly with both hands, wailing heartbreakingly. His soul seemed to be about to burst under this powerful force, and those fragments of memory were like an endless torrent, washing over his mind.

After an unknown amount of time, Tang Yue finally broke free from the pain. He opened his eyes and gasped for breath, as if he had just woken up from a nightmare. He felt like a small boat swaying in the wind and waves, and could be swallowed up at any time. However, he also realized that it was this crisis that gave him unprecedented strength.

His soul power has advanced to a whole new level. If his soul power was like a gurgling stream before, now it has become a rushing river. He feels that his perception has been improved unprecedentedly, and everything around him has become so clear and so real.

He could feel every subtle change in the air flow and hear every leaf whispering in the wind. His mental detection seemed to have turned into an invisible radar wave, penetrating the walls of the cell and detecting everything outside. The dozing guard not far away and all the movements within a range of fifty meters outside were all clearly visible to him.

What surprised him even more was that he seemed to be able to see into the depths of the souls of the creatures around him. He could feel their joys, sorrows, anger, fears and hopes. He seemed to be integrated with the whole world and become a part of nature.

This wonderful change in perception filled Tang Yue with ecstasy and shock. "Is this the change brought about by the breakthrough of soul power?" he murmured to himself.

Afterwards, he fell into meditation again, and began to slowly digest the memory fragments that flooded into his mind. They were like vivid movies, playing out in the depths of his mind. Although these memory fragments were fragmentary and chaotic, Tang Yue felt an inexplicable sense of intimacy. As the memories were gradually digested, countless spellcasting techniques and release experiences also merged into the depths of his soul like sweet honey.

In a chaotic dream, Tang Yue slowly opened his eyes. They were like a pair of sapphires, as deep as the sea of ​​stars in the night sky, and contained endless mysteries. He felt the strange power surging in his body, and an inexplicable wonder surged in his heart: "What is the mysterious soul body in my spiritual world? Just a slight touch has set off such a huge change in my body. What if..."

Just as he was immersed in his thoughts of self-exploration, a voice suddenly echoed in the darkness, interrupting his meditation: "Ming Yin! Ming Yin!" It was Lina's soft call, she was carefully looking for something in the distance.

Tang Yue frowned slightly, wondering, "What is she doing?" In fact, he had already noticed Lina's arrival when she approached quietly. She had obviously sneaked in while the guards were asleep.

However, Tang Yue did not respond to her call immediately. He knew that even if he had advanced to the 6th level, it would still be difficult to leave here safely. At this moment, keeping silent, watching the situation, and waiting for an opportunity to act were his wisest choices. So, he closed his eyes again, thinking about how to find the best opportunity to escape.
