Necromancer: A New Era

As night fell, although the sun could not penetrate the heavy haze, Tang Yue and Lina regained their vitality in a night of quiet meditation. They briefly dealt with their personal problems and then began to explore this mysterious castle and find a way to leave.

Just last night, several of the skeleton warriors he controlled suddenly lost their connection. As the distance was too far, Tang Yue did not risk going to investigate, but was secretly alert in his heart.

When Tang Yue arrived at the place where the connection was lost, he saw fog all around, like a huge bird's nest. Tang Yue's heart tightened, and the staff in his hand appeared instantly. He quickly performed the art of binding the dead and jumped back swiftly. At this moment, a terrifying figure suddenly attacked, but was disturbed by the binding of the dead. However, the skeleton arm of the binding of the dead quickly melted like snowflakes, and at this moment the monster showed absolute suppression power.

"Damn, this guy is actually level 7!" Tang Yue exclaimed as he felt the terrifying aura.

However, the creature did not continue to attack. As the fire gradually brightened, the terrifying figure finally slowly revealed its true appearance.

It was like the legendary female demon Medusa from Greek mythology in Tang Yue's previous life. It was terrifying. It had obvious human female features, a snake tail and a human body, but it was not comparable to an ordinary woman. It exuded a terrifying aura, as if it was a mysterious existence. Her hair was not soft silk, but clusters of poisonous snakes spitting out their tongues. They coiled around her head, flashing a cold light, as if announcing her danger and inviolability.

The skin of this Medusa is not as soft as that of a human, but is covered with hard bronze scales, like a warrior's armor, but with a strange beauty. The most amazing thing is that there is a pair of slightly glowing wings on its back, like a combination of an angel and a demon.

However, the most terrifying thing about Medusa is her magical eyes. Anyone who dares to look into her eyes, even for a quick glance, will immediately fall into the abyss of her petrifying magic. The body will instantly become extremely stiff, and eventually turn into a cold stone sculpture, losing the breath of life forever. Under the gaze of these eyes, life seems to become so fragile and vulnerable.

Medusa closed her eyes, but her snake-like hair seemed to be able to see, and they all stared at Tang Yue.

"Your soul makes me feel something I want, human, let me eat you!"

Tang Yue shuddered and understood: "So you want to eat me."

Amid Medusa's roar, its figure approached like a ghost, but Tang Yue remained calm. He chanted a spell of wind magic and turned himself into a gust of wind, dodging the fatal blow. There was even a faint afterimage of him left in the air.

Medusa's attack missed, and she became even more furious, but she suddenly felt a cold breath surging under her feet. It was countless soul tentacles, which stretched out from the depths of hell and instantly wrapped around Medusa's body. The pain of her soul being torn apart made her fall into a state of near-frenzy, and her screams were so piercing that they seemed to tear the night sky apart.

However, Tang Yue was prepared for this. He closed his eyes and used mental perception to replace his vision.

Tang Yue muttered something, and the high-level undead summoning magic was activated. With the help of the semi-artifact magic wand, a huge magic circle quickly condensed in the air, and then a large number of terrifying skeleton warriors poured out of the magic circle.

These skeleton warriors were completely different from ordinary or mutated skeletons. They seemed to be killing machines born for battle. The rusty armor on their tall and sturdy skeletons shone with a heavy light, and the weapons in their hands emitted a sharp black mist. The undead bone fire burned on them, as if it wanted to devour everything.

Under Tang Yue's command, these skeleton warriors, whose strength was comparable to that of fourth-level warriors, charged at Medusa like a torrent. Although Tang Yue's mental strength was mostly consumed, he couldn't help but feel proud when he saw the spectacular sight of the skeleton warriors charging into battle. He imagined how shocking and glorious it would be if he could summon thousands of troops in the future.

Medusa's roar gradually weakened, and she opened her eyes, with a sharp light flashing in them. She tried to use her innate magic to petrify the approaching skeleton warriors, but those warriors seemed to have no sense of pain and emotion, and they kept coming, putting Medusa in a tough fight.

As the battle continued, blood began to seep from the scales of Medusa's body. She swung her tail vigorously, knocking the approaching skeleton warriors away. However, more warriors followed closely behind her, and their huge battle axes formed by dark magic slashed fiercely at her body. The continuous injuries to her body made her scream in pain.

The angry Medusa constantly used her innate abilities to fight back, but at the same time she had to deal with the bone spears shot by Tang Yue from time to time and the whipping of the soul tentacles under her feet. Even with her level 7 strength, she gradually lost strength under the constant siege of the skeleton warriors.

The battle did not last long. Finally, with a shrill wail, Medusa's head was chopped off by a skeleton warrior, and her body fell heavily to the ground.

The battle ended, and Tang Yue's tense nerves finally relaxed. He stepped closer and stared at the head that looked very similar to a human, with an unconcealable curiosity in his heart. This was the first time he had seen the creature that was a mysterious legend in both worlds. At this moment, the once majestic snake hair had drooped weakly, lifeless. On that handsome face, beside the closed eyes, blood was slowly flowing from the corners of the eyes, as if telling the last elegy.

Tang Yue stopped to observe for a long time, but found nothing unusual. Just as he was about to turn around and leave, a flash of golden light caught his eye. It was a golden scepter hanging from the waist of the lying snake, exuding a charming and mysterious atmosphere. He reached out and picked up the scepter, only to feel it was heavy, as if this short scepter forgotten by time carried endless years and secrets.

Under the light of the fire, the scepter, which was only as long as a forearm, shone with a faint golden glow, which was more dazzling than ordinary gold. On the top of the scepter, a huge gem shone brightly, and the deep purple seemed to be full of light and color, which made people intoxicated and unable to extricate themselves. The body of the scepter was engraved with exquisite patterns, telling the legendary history of the Medusa clan. Those graceful figures, flying snake hair, and majestic and mysterious eyes seemed to show the world an ancient and powerful clan.

When Tang Yue tightly grasped the scepter, he could feel a powerful force surging out of the scepter and reaching deep into his heart. It was the inheritance of the wisdom and power of the Medusa clan, mysterious and profound, making people yearn for it. However, this power seemed beyond his control, as if it was a mysterious energy from another world.

After putting the mysterious golden scepter into the space ring, Tang Yue continued to explore this mysterious nest. His eyes swept over the piles of snake skins in the corner, and his heart suddenly tightened. "Oh no, there is more than one here!" He exclaimed secretly, and then cast wind magic without hesitation, turning into a gust of wind and rushing towards the castle.

Lina, who was waiting anxiously in the castle, felt like she was sitting on pins and needles. The roars coming from afar made her tremble with fear, and her worry was beyond words. She paced back and forth, and wanted to rush out to look for Tang Yue several times.

Just when she was extremely anxious, Tang Yue came back as fast as the wind, picked her up and ran towards the depths of the Divine Forbidden Mountains.

In the night sky behind them, several tragic roars pierced the sky. Tang Yue knew that these were the footsteps of the pursuers. He ran even harder and summoned a large number of skeletons to distract the enemy. Although the skeletons continued to dissipate due to the loss of spiritual connection, they successfully bought time for them to escape. Fortunately, only one pursuer caught up with them in the end.

The surrounding trees quickly retreated as Tang Yue and his team ran. They ran deeper and deeper, and did not notice a stone tablet that was half hidden by dense plants. If Tang Yue could stop and look carefully at this moment, he would find that there were eight big words engraved on it: "This is the boundary, anyone who enters will die!"

The Medusa that was tracking finally stopped in front of the stone tablet and roared furiously, but did not dare to move forward, as if there was an invisible dividing line blocking its way.

Tang Yue ran all the way, having long forgotten the horrific legend of the Forbidden Mountains, and continued to go deeper. However, the gears of fate have turned, and they are destined to embark on a thrilling journey of life and death.
