Necromancer: A New Era

Tang Yue followed the hooded figure from a distance and came to an abandoned courtyard where there was a two-story tower-like building. When he arrived in front of the door of the building, the figure looked around carefully and then walked in.

In the dark shadows, Tang Yue stood quietly, his eyes deep. He was also a necromancer, but he didn't know much about the necromancers on this continent. It was rumored that they were all incarnations of evil, dealing with corpses and souls all day long, and their favorite thing was to desecrate corpses. Resurrect them and fight for themselves, instead of summoning them from another world like Tang Yue. However, at this moment, he was deeply attracted by the story of the human necromancer in front of him and the mystery of his profession.

The necromancer, named Edwin, had a haggard face but a determined and persistent light in his eyes. He was concentrating on a complicated and dangerous soul summoning ritual.

He stood beside a female elf corpse, with a complex summoning totem carved on it. He had gone out to buy the last materials. When he passed by a tavern, he was attracted by the story between him and Leah, so he subconsciously went into the tavern. After listening to the story, he was once again stimulated by the plot and became more determined to use forbidden necromancy to resurrect his lover, even if he became an undead, as long as he could accompany him forever. Of course, this kind of magic is very demanding. If he is not careful, he will resurrect a dangerous unconscious undead creature. He must be very alert to protect Leah's soul and integrate it into his former body. If he grasps it perfectly, Leah will be reborn as an undead.

Tang Yue entered here under the cover of Tiffany's spell and stood in the corner watching quietly. He did not want to intervene, but just wanted to witness the process and results of the spell.

Tiffany on the side had disgust in her eyes. This human necromancer was so evil that he actually wanted to resurrect corpses and even spared his own lover. She subconsciously glanced at Tang Yue. She suddenly had a feeling that Tang Yue's necromancy did not make her feel evil. She had also never seen Tang Yue desecrate any corpse. The difference between the two was obvious.

Tang Yue could feel that there was a deep and complex emotional bond between Edwin and the elf girl. Their story might be full of sadness and helplessness, but at this moment, it seemed that Edwin was willing to give everything, even his own life, in exchange for a reunion with the girl.

Tang Yue knew about necromancy, and he had learned this kind of spellcasting from Edwin. Although it was successful, it was not a perfect resurrection, but just a corpse with memories, a resurrection of an undead creature. It was similar to the resurrection of the Hades Dragon, but it was fundamentally different. This kind of spellcasting required the consumption of vitality. Moreover, this girl did not have the powerful soul power of the Hades Dragon, so there would be nothing special after resurrection.

This method of resurrection, not to mention whether the elf girl would agree, the price of summoning alone is most of the caster's mental power and vitality, because Tang Yue found that there were no life gems or similar props in the magic circle to replace the consumed life. There is only one result, the caster will have a lot of vitality drained away, or even die.

As the ceremony progressed, just as Tang Yue expected, Edwin's vitality was rapidly fading. His face became paler and paler, and his body began to tremble. However, his eyes remained firm as before, as if he had nothing to fear as long as he could recall the girl's soul.

At the critical moment, Tang Yue finally took action, as if he wanted to watch the entire process of the ceremony, or simply wanted to help this human. Tang Yue himself couldn't explain the specific reason. He walked to Edwin and whispered, "I feel your determination. Let me help you complete this ceremony."

Edwin was surprised to see Tang Yue suddenly appear, but soon he understood the identity and intention of this mysterious visitor. He nodded and handed over the control of the ceremony to Tang Yue.

With Tang Yue taking out the life gem and guiding him, the ceremony became more complicated and mysterious. But Tang Yue was like a dancer walking between life and death, with every step just right and every swing full of mystery and beauty.

Finally, with the joint efforts of Tang Yue and Edwin, the soul of the elf girl was successfully recalled. She appeared in front of them, her emerald-like clear eyes filled with confusion and dullness.

"Edwin, why are you doing this?" the girl asked softly, her voice as sweet as nature.

Edwin looked at the girl, his eyes full of tenderness and guilt: "Liya, I can't bear the pain of losing you. I am willing to give everything in exchange for your rebirth."

Leah looked at Edwin's face, which looked old due to excessive consumption of vitality, and her heart was filled with emotion and reluctance. She understood that Edwin had already paid too much for her, and although she was heartbroken and sad, she could not shed tears after being resurrected from a corpse.

However, she didn't want to see Edwin continue to torture himself like this. She didn't want him to become corrupt and twisted because of her resurrection.

"Edwin, my love, thank you for still loving me, but please remember that death is not the end, but another beginning. We should cherish every moment of each other's life instead of trying to use magic to change the arrangement of fate. Besides, is this state considered resurrection?"

Edwin's body trembled, and he fell to the ground, already severely exhausted, feeling sad.

Leah's heart ached. She dragged her stiff body to Edwin's side, gently held Edwin's old face, and said softly, "I understand your feelings. I also want to be with you forever, but this is not what I want. It is even more uncomfortable for me to live in this way. You know that our family believes in the God of Life. I don't want to live as a corpse like this."

Edwin seemed to be moved by Leah's words, and the twisted heart and hatred disappeared at this moment. At this moment, he just wanted to be with her forever. It seemed that he had made up his mind. His eyes were no longer confused, but replaced by determination and deep love. There was no need to say more. The two of them just looked at each other and understood each other's thoughts.

After a long moment, Leah turned to look at Tang Yue and bowed deeply: "Thank you, sir. Your help has given us the opportunity to meet again. But please allow us to make our own choices."

Tang Yue looked at Leah and Edwin, his heart full of emotion. He understood that they had made their own decision. So he nodded and stepped aside silently.

Under Tang Yue's gaze, Leah and Ed walked out of the tower hand in hand. Their figures hugged each other tightly in the moonlight. Two lovers of different races and two opposing forces made this couple experience all the sufferings in the world, but at this moment, time seemed to stand still, and the picture of the two kissing became eternal.

After a long time, a flame rose from under the feet of the two people, but it seemed as if the pain disappeared and did not affect them. As the flame grew bigger and bigger, it completely enveloped them until the two people gradually disappeared, leaving only two deep footprints and an eternal legend.

Tang Yue stood in the tower, watching them leave with a smile. He knew that their souls would continue to be together in another world, where there would be no hatred and resentment, no prejudice and estrangement, only eternal tranquility and happiness.

"Perhaps," Tang Yue whispered to himself, "this is the real necromancy - not to distort life and death, but to allow the soul to find eternal rest in love and understanding."

Tang Yue seemed to be sublimated. Something mysterious appeared in Tang Yue's spiritual world. He wanted to grasp it but could not touch it.

With the departure of Leah and Edwin, the Tower of the Dead gradually lost its luster. But Tang Yue knew that their story would always be passed down in people's hearts and become an immortal legend. And he would continue his journey to witness more mysteries and miracles between life and death.
