Necromancer: A New Era

Under the leadership of Medusa, Tang Yue and others easily left the Forbidden Mountains. Tang Yue looked back and saw the Forbidden Mountains towering like a huge fulcrum supporting the sky. The towering mountains were like a giant dragon winding around.

This time, the fatal crisis was unexpectedly averted and a huge harvest was gained. Ephisard's return to the team not only brought Tang Yue gains in team strength, but also answered countless problems in his cultivation.

Tang Yue, who was only at level 6, suddenly understood. Tang Yue was secretly delighted. This "escape" journey was really worthwhile. He looked at Karl, with a hint of emotion in his eyes.

"Thank you, Carl. If you hadn't led the way, we would have had a hard time escaping."

Medusa smiled slightly, "My Lord, this is what I should do. However, there may be more challenges waiting for us outside the Forbidden Mountains."

Tang Yue nodded, his eyes firm.

"No matter what difficulties and obstacles lie ahead, I will do my best. Now that we are much stronger, we will be able to handle everything!"

A few days later, at a campsite, Ephisade was sitting cross-legged and practicing, consuming and absorbing the soul power of the two Medusas and the fox priest that day, while Carl was setting up the campsite.

Tang Yue sat cross-legged on the top of the hill. The view from here was excellent and he could see far away. At this moment, he did not practice, but looked into the distance.

"I wonder how Chakaer is doing. Where has the orc army fought to?"

Lina came and sat down next to Tang Yue. She looked at Tang Yue who was lost in thought. She did not disturb him. She sat quietly beside him and also looked in the direction of the Holy Empire.

"What are you thinking about?"

Tang Yue looked at Lina's frown and asked with a faint smile.

"I don't know what's happening with my father and sister. The sacrificial ceremony is probably about to begin. It's been more than 20 days."

"It's not appropriate for us to get close now. The sacrificial ceremony is probably very large, and it would be dangerous to get too close."

Tang Yue patted Lina on the shoulder and comforted her: "Don't worry, your father and sister will be fine. What we have to do now is to improve our strength so that we can better cope with future challenges."

Lina nodded calmly and said with a forced smile: "No matter what, I have to thank you. The Holy Empire is probably doomed this time. I don't know how many people will survive by then. The Holy Empire still has many powerful saints, far beyond our ability to resist now. Let's see how the sacrifice goes from a distance before we make a decision."

Tang Yue nodded and looked in the direction of the Holy Empire. At this moment, his spiritual world moved, and a familiar spiritual connection transmitted fluctuations, and he couldn't help but feel happy.

"Dark Dragon!"

"That undead warrior of yours?"

At this time, Efissad seemed to sense something and came to Tang Yue, "My Lord, I seem to sense a familiar soul breath."

"Yes, the Nether Dragon is back!"

Ephesud asked excitedly, "Lord Dark Dragon?"

Ephisod couldn't help but think of the battle many years ago. Not long after the Hades Dragon left with their master, they were attacked by the coalition forces of the gods. There was no news of their master and Lord Hades Dragon at all. Now that both of them have returned, will it take a short time to restore their former glory?

"God Realm, your doomsday is coming!" Ephisard couldn't help but think.

Tang Yue looked at Ephisade's Gundam-like body and couldn't help but ask: "Ephisade, can your body change? Change the size."

"My Lord, my strength has recovered very little now, and I can't control too many changes. It should be possible. I can try if necessary."

"What do you mean you can't control too much?"

“It’s just that you can’t control the changes as you wish.”

Ephisard began to transform his body under Tang Yue's command.

The black light wrapped around Ephisaud's 3-meter-tall body, which was constantly shrinking. It did not stop when it shrank to the normal size of a human being, and only stopped when it shrank to the size of a 6-year-old child.

Looking at Ephesud's young body, Tang Yue sighed and said, "That's enough. At least it won't attract so much attention anymore."

A delicate and delicate child wearing the same miniaturized armor looked a little weird, but fortunately it was much easier to hide than a three-meter-tall figure.

After a night of rest, they headed towards the imperial capital of the Holy Empire. Along the way, the originally bustling towns and cities became much quieter, leaving only some elderly people with limited mobility, all of whom rushed to the imperial capital to participate in the grand sacrificial ceremony held by the gods.

Tang Yue and his party approached, and the capital of the Holy Empire came into view. A solemn atmosphere permeated the city, and people were silently busy preparing for the upcoming sacrificial ceremony.

Tang Yue looked at this once prosperous city, feeling a lot of emotion in his heart. Those creatures who claimed to be gods actually ignored the lives of humans and wanted to do such cruel things. He secretly vowed in his heart that he would make these hypocritical gods pay the price they deserved.

They found a remote place to stay and closely followed the progress of the sacrificial ceremony. With her keen perception, Lina detected a strange aura.

"Tang Yue, I feel a mysterious power surging." Lina said softly.

Tang Yue nodded solemnly, "It seems that the scope of this sacrificial ceremony is larger than we imagined. We must be careful and leave the area before the sacrifice begins."

Seeing the large number of people gathering, this place has started to become congested.

Tang Yue looked at Lina and said calmly: "Let's go, let's go to the periphery. It's impossible to reach the core area."

Lina looked towards the direction of the imperial palace temple, feeling helpless and sad. Once the sacrifice began, would her sister and father be able to survive?

Perhaps it was because the sacrifice was about to begin, the believers began to rush in more frantically. The imperial capital was already overcrowded. In the center of the huge plain outside the imperial capital stood a huge statue of a god, with a huge magic circle carved on it. The powerful gods stood in the eyes of the array, clasped their hands together and bowed their heads in prayer.

Looking at the statue, Ephisade said disdainfully: "Humph! Just an ant. In the heyday of the past, I could kill this kind of person dozens of times with just a glance."

Tang Yue led everyone to the edge, and only after they stepped out of the range of the magic circle did the depressing feeling in their hearts disappear.

At this time, the Dark Dragon, who had been running for a long time, also broke through the crowd and returned. He came to Tang Yue and knelt on one knee and said, "My lord, the Dark Dragon has returned!"

As Tang Yue's soul power increased, the intelligence of the Nether Dragon also improved a lot. Although his memory had not been awakened, his soul had begun to improve.

Efizzard was a little excited at this moment. He couldn't help but sigh when he saw his former big brother become like this after not seeing him for thousands of years.

Ephesud, like a child, walked slowly to the side of the majestic Hades Dragon with a heart full of excitement. His voice was shaking undisguisedly: "Lord Hades Dragon, I am Ephesud. After thousands of years, I finally see you again!"

However, the deep eyes of the Dark Dragon seemed to reflect only one person - that was Tang Yue. The Dark Dragon seemed to ignore Ephisard's words and did not even give the slightest reaction.

An inexplicable sense of bewilderment surged in Ephesus's heart. He turned to look at Tang Yue, his eyes full of doubt and help. With Tang Yue's slight nod of permission, he cautiously approached the Nether Dragon again.

Tang Yue gestured to Carl beside him, who immediately bent down and gently picked up Elfthard. With Carl's support, Elfthard slowly stretched out his slender arms, and his fingertips gently touched the cold forehead of the Nether Dragon. At that moment, he seemed to feel a powerful and mysterious force surging out of the Nether Dragon's body and penetrating his heart.

In the depths of distant time and space, Ephisaud experienced a long pursuit and exploration, and finally caught a subtle clue, but a solemn look appeared on his face.

Tang Yue's heart was slightly shaken, and he asked in a deep voice: "What's the condition of the Dark Dragon?"

Ephesud took a deep breath to calm his excitement, and he replied respectfully: "My Lord, the condition of Lord Nether Dragon is worrying."

"Oh?" Tang Yue frowned, "Tell me in detail."

"Lord Hell Dragon, as the patriarch of the Purgatory Hell Dragon clan, has mastered an ancient and mysterious secret technique. After performing this technique, his soul will fall into a deep sleep, but there is also a possibility of revival." Efthald explained, "Now, Lord Hell Dragon's condition is very similar to the state after performing this secret technique."

"Similar?" Tang Yue's brows revealed confusion.

"Yes, my lord. They are similar, but not exactly the same." Ephesus continued, "My former battle mount was the Purgatory Underworld Dragon, a member of the same clan as Lord Underworld Dragon. We have fought side by side for many years, and I know their clan quite well. The Underworld Dragon must have forcibly torn his soul apart when Lord Underworld Dragon was weak after performing his innate secret technique, which led to the loss of his memory. If he wants to recover, he needs to restore his soul."

Tang Yue's thoughts drifted back to the moment when he summoned the Nether Dragon. At that time, he was not strong enough, but he forcibly performed the summoning secret technique and unexpectedly received the help of the Nether Dragon. This might be the root cause of the damage to the intelligence of the Nether Dragon after its resurrection.

He turned his gaze to the majestic figure of the Dark Dragon, his heart filled with guilt. This loyal partner had even torn his own soul apart in order to save him.

Efissad seemed to sense Tang Yue's mood. He walked to Tang Yue and said softly, "Lord, don't blame yourself. We will serve you even at the cost of our lives. I believe that Lord Minglong made his choice without hesitation at that moment."

Carl stood aside and witnessed all this, feeling a lot of emotion in his heart. He was lucky to have met Tang Yue, and admired the loyalty and sacrifice of these strong men for Tang Yue. In such a team, he felt deeply insignificant, but at the same time he was full of motivation to move forward.
