Necromancer: A New Era

The night fades away and the morning glow begins to appear.

After a night of rest, Efissad was refreshed. He looked at Tang Yue who slowly opened his eyes from meditation, stepped forward and bowed deeply: "Master, you are awake."

Tang Yue nodded slightly, his voice low and majestic: "Efissad, you seem to have recovered well."

"Yes, Master." Elfthard replied respectfully, "Thanks to your spiritual energy replenishment, I feel full of strength now."

Tang Yue stood up, walked to the hillside, and looked at the mountains in the distance. He said calmly: "Your recovery is crucial to our next move. The Medusa tribe is the only way for us to get out, and we must completely eradicate it."

A hint of enthusiasm flashed in Ephesus's eyes: "Master, I am eager to fight. I am full of confidence in destroying Medusa. With your help in the past few days, I have stabilized the weakness of my soul, and my strength has stabilized at level 8."

Tang Yue turned around and looked at Ephesud deeply: "I am glad to see your confidence. But remember, victory requires not only strength, but also wisdom and strategy. This group of Medusas are not simple. They must have been affected by something and lost their minds and turned into monsters."

Ephesud knelt on one knee, clasping his hands tightly. "For my master, for the great cause of darkness, I am ready to sacrifice everything."

Tang Yue smiled slightly, a smile of approval from a superior to his subordinates: "Very good, Ephesud. Your loyalty and wisdom will be the key to our victory. Now, let's make the final preparations before departure. The end of Medusa is coming soon."

Lina had also woken up at this time, and came to Tang Yue and was a little worried, "Are you really okay? After all, we don't know the specific strength of those monsters."

Tang Yue patted her shoulder and comforted her: "It's okay, leave it to him."

There were some things Tang Yue didn't say. Even if the Holy Land came, it would be impossible to destroy Ephisard's body.

Eftihad held a one-handed greatsword that was clearly inconsistent with his body size. The greatsword, which could not be used by humans, looked a little small in Eftihad's hand.

Efissad turned and left, and began to make final preparations. Tang Yue quietly watched his back, thinking about the strategy in his mind.

Not long after, Efissad returned, exuding a powerful aura. Tang Yue nodded with satisfaction and took him and Lina on the journey together.

As soon as they left the inner area, they found a Medusa standing in front of the stone tablet guarding them. Tang Yue's eyes condensed. Is it so persistent? It has been guarding them for a few days. It is hard to see its strength. Judging from its pressure, it is probably at level 8.

Without waiting for Tang Yue's order, Ephisade held his sword and took a step forward towards Medusa.

At this moment, when Medusa saw Tang Yue and the others coming, she felt as if she saw a mortal enemy. Like a wild beast out of control, her eyes were red and her long hair was flying wildly. Her original strength and skills became twisted and wild at this moment. Her attacks were haphazard, yet full of deadly threats.

The battle was about to start. Ephesud responded calmly, and the one-handed sword in his hand turned into a series of light and shadows, which was both indestructible in defense and powerful in attack. Whenever Medusa pounced on him frantically, he could always swing his sword at the right angle to resist and counterattack with a sharp sword energy.

Sword energy and wind intertwined, and every moment on the battlefield was filled with a contest between life and death. Ephesud's strength was not only reflected in his strength, but also in his calmness and wisdom. He was like an elegant dancer, dancing on the battlefield, and every flash of sword light was a deep understanding of the laws of life and death.

Tang Yue watched Ephisard's every response and nodded secretly. The soul with memory was really terrifying. It seemed as if he was just playing with the same realm and he was so calm.

As time went on, Medusa's frenzied attacks gradually weakened, while Ephishad's sword energy became more and more fierce. Finally, after a violent sword dance, Medusa was defeated, and Ephishad struck her in the throat with one sword, ending her life.

After Medusa's body fell to the ground, it turned into a pool of blood.

"What's going on?" Lina asked in surprise.

Tang Yue frowned slightly, as if thinking about something.

At this moment, there were suddenly bursts of rustling sounds all around, and more Medusas emerged from the woods.

"It seems this is just the beginning..." Tang Yue whispered.

Ephesusad's eyes were determined and he gripped the sword tighter in his hand.

A more intense battle is about to begin...

The Medusas attacked frantically, and Ephishad brandished his greatsword and rushed into the enemy camp fearlessly.

As the last Medusa turned into blood, Ephisade came to Tang Yue and saluted, saying, "My lord, we have killed them all."

Looking at the somewhat depressed Ephisaud, Tang Yue had a rough idea of ​​his current limits.

"Recover first!"

After saying this, he mobilized his mental power for infusion. With the infusion of a large amount of mental power, Ephisard's mental state improved.

“My Lord, the Medusa we just killed had no soul. It must be a puppet created by special means.

“Yes, I killed one that day, and there was obviously a corpse left behind.

Lina came to a Medusa transformed into blood and looked at it carefully. She saw that the blood was still wriggling, as if it had life.

Tang Yue seemed to have grasped something. He raised the staff in his hand and chanted a spell. The magic energy of flesh and blood condensed and turned into a ball of red mist that enveloped a large area of ​​blood. Soon, a shrill scream came from the blood. As the blood disappeared, it turned into balls of pure magic energy of flesh and blood, which were collected by Tang Yue in the magic book.

Ephisard's eyes lit up. This was exactly one of the magics that the master used frequently in the past. It was with the blessing of this magic from the master that he and his companions practiced and ascended to gods step by step from ordinary lowly creatures.

In the Medusa's lair not far away, an old man with a wretched appearance rolled on the ground, groaning in pain. Two Medusas stood in the lair with blank expressions, like bodies without souls.

In the deepest part of the lair, a towering Medusa King closed his eyes to rest. The snake hair on his head flashed scarlet light, like the eyes of a devil, staring at the tumbling old man. The air was filled with strong murderous intent.

After a while, the old man's wailing gradually subsided, and he struggled to get up, although the pain of his soul being torn apart still made his body tremble uncontrollably.

"Damn it, how did they find out!" the old man cursed with gritted teeth.

Not far away, a Medusa stared at him coldly, her fox-like face full of anger: "Your promise is useless. If you can't prove your worth, you will die."

It turned out that the old man was a priest of the fox tribe. For the survival of the tribe, he led a group of strong men into the Forbidden Mountains in search of food, but was unfortunately captured by Medusa.

"Master, please give me a chance, I can still be useful." The fox priest was well aware of the cruelty and bloodthirstiness of Queen Medusa. He once witnessed Queen Medusa tearing apart an eighth-level monster that had entered the Forbidden Mountains of the Gods. That scene still scares him to this day.

He pleaded eagerly, "If you can give me some more blood, I can summon a group of warriors. Then, if you can send two real Medusas to assist us, the enemy will be completely defeated by us."

King Medusa listened to the words of the fox priest, with no expression on his face. That day they went out hunting, leaving only their spouses to guard the nest. However, when they returned, they only saw their spouses' broken bodies and the lost artifact scepter.

They were originally the royal family of the Medusa clan, but they fell into internal strife due to the dispute over the clan leader. The Medusa king was defeated in the fight and could only lead his people to flee the southern wilderness and come to the Central Region. However, here, they encountered a curse, and all the people were corrupted by bloodthirsty murderous intent and turned into monsters. Under the pursuit of the gods, their people were killed and injured, and finally they could only hide in the Forbidden Mountains of the Gods to survive.

Now, his spouse was killed, and there were only two eighth-level warriors left in the tribe. It was obviously not easy to defeat a large group of eighth-level enemies. Hearing this guy's proposal, he was moved.

After a long time, King Medusa slowly walked to the side of the fox priest. The dagger in his hand slashed across his arm, and blood gushed out. Soon, a pool of blood accumulated on the ground.

The fox priest watched this scene with great fear in his heart. With so much blood, was he going to die to pay his sins? However, he knew that if he refused at this moment, he would die immediately.

In desperation, the fox priest could only bite the bullet and start to cast a spell. As his strange figure danced, the blood on the ground began to boil. Sensing the dangerous aura, the two Medusas who were guarding nearby also hurriedly walked in front of the king and looked around vigilantly.

As the spell ended, dozens of Medusa warriors with eighth-level strength suddenly appeared in the nest. The fox priest lay weakly on the ground, without even the strength to move. Under the command of the Medusa King, two guards led this group of new warriors and attacked Tang Yue and his group.
