21st Century Necromancer

Purple flames enveloped Chen Yu’s body without burning him, and when the flames dispersed, his attire had transformed.

A pitch-black robe replaced his winter clothes, not only inlaid with bones that shined with a metallic luster but also covered with complex magic runes along the sleeves and hem. Although they appeared decorative, the magical aura they emitted was enough to show that these runes were far more than mere adornments.

In Chen Yu’s right hand was the Great Scythe, a classic choice for a Necromancer. The enormous scythe, made from bone that resembled white jade, had a handle that looked like it was thrust into a vertebra, while the blade resembled spikes or fangs. At the joint of handle and blade was a miniature, but still burning, giant dragon’s skull.

The purple flames finally converged above Chen Yu’s head, forming a crown pieced together from white bones and rested upon his head. As the bone coronet settled into place, a massive ring formed from Necromantic Power also appeared behind him, pulsating with powerful mana fluctuations.

This was Chen Yu’s first appearance in full combat garb, and the first time he had truly engaged in battle as a Necromancer.

With a strong slam of his Bone Scythe onto the ground, fissures appeared, and from them seeped a ghastly green flame.

These flames spread rapidly, encasing the entire pond area and forming a wall of fire, while also burning toward the seal beneath the pond.

With white bones, a Great Scythe, and a dark robe, Chen Yu looked like a Death God reaping lives or a Knight of Apocalypse bringing eternal death under the cover of night.

Jounouchi Hiromi, seeing Chen Yu like this for the first time, couldn’t help but feel a sense of fascination in her gaze. However, now was not the time, and her eyes, though briefly entranced, quickly turned serious again.

Her eyes transformed into blue vertical slits, and a pair of fierce Dragon Horns extended from her temples. Her clothing also shifted into the Dragon Bone Armor that was born alongside her.

Jounouchi Hiromi didn’t reach for the unfamiliar Great Blade of Blood hanging at her side, but instead, drew the Rapier from her waist, assumed a stance and pointed the tip of the sword toward the nearly broken Seal.

As for Xiao Lan, who had been ready in the Necromantic Space, Jounouchi Hiromi didn’t summon her immediately. It wasn’t that Hiromi thought Xiao Lan unnecessary, but rather Xiao Lan had taken the form of a giant dragon, which would undoubtedly be seen if summoned in such a location.

Oyama Shrine wasn’t situated in some secluded area; adjacent to Kanazawa Castle, the shrine was right at the heart of Kanazawa City. Summoning Xiao Lan would mean the entire city could witness it.

Now aware of the existence of Supernaturals, Jounouchi Hiromi also understood that Transcendents were not something ordinary people should know about, so she refrained from calling upon Xiao Lan immediately.

As Jounouchi Hiromi also readied herself for battle, the flames Chen Yu had summoned finally destroyed the Seal, and the monster beneath it, sensing the disruption, issued a piercing howl that could penetrate the Seal and burst forth with a force!

It was like an explosion of buried gunpowder beneath the ground. The originally scenic pond erupted with a muted roar, soil from the bottom scattered in all directions, chunks of earth flew into the sky and landed around, and the layer of thin ice that once covered the pond was instantaneously blown away, revealing the muddy bottom and a dark pit in the center that replaced the island within.

Seeing this scene, Chen Yu couldn’t help but shake his head slightly, "Why is there such a commotion." @@novelbin@@

Just as Chen Yu was reflecting on this, the trees around him that had been emitting a faint glow suddenly began to sway, their light intensifying all at once. At the same time, the plants started to mutate abnormally, their branches twisting and tangling, rubbing together to make strange sounds.

Noticing such changes, Chen Yu’s brows furrowed slightly, his right hand empty, he gestured in front of his chest, and a magic circle appeared on the ground in front of him. Four combat golems, cast from a special magic alloy, were summoned by him.

These golems, made entirely of a special magic alloy, had heads like werewolves and reverse-jointed digitigrade legs, which gave them exceptionally good mobility and jumping power. Their upper bodies, with four metal arms like the Four-Armed Naga, each holding a long blade, endowed them with fearsome killing power.

With a thought from Chen Yu, he waved his left hand forward, and the four combat golems suddenly crouched and then leaped high, plunging toward the deep pit in the center of the pond.

At the same time, Chen Yu’s actions didn’t stop: he summoned new combat golems.

Unlike the previous werewolf-like figures, the newly appeared combat golems stood firmly in front of Chen Yu on four incredibly sturdy limbs, one arm holding a giant shield as tall as a man, and the other wielding a two-meter-long giant blade.

Although there was only one blade, no one would doubt the lethality of the giant blade, which was nearly the size of a door.

Feeling uncertain, Chen Yu seemed to want to summon more combat golems, but just as he had summoned two with the lower bodies of scorpions and the upper bodies of humans, the four werewolf golems that had jumped down into the pit earlier were thrown out after several metallic clangs, landing heavily on the ground.

Chen Yu stopped his summoning, fixed his gaze, and saw that all four combat golems were damaged to varying extents. One’s head had been pierced through, another’s arm was cut off, another’s chest and abdomen were mangled, and the last was even more tragically torn in half.

The sorry state of the four golems made Chen Yu’s eyes narrow with concentration. The strength of these golems was not weak; a single Four-Armed Werewolf golem was definitely above an Official-level Superhuman, and their magic alloy bodies provided them with solid defense.

Yet, these combat golems were beaten up in an instant, which meant that the monster below must be even stronger than he had anticipated!

Should he say it was expected of an unparalleled general from the Warring States period? Even dead, they possessed such combat power! While Chen Yu inwardly marveled, he didn’t summon more combat golems; instead, he changed his approach, ordering the remaining four golems to surround the enemy while he began to chant a spell.

As Chen Yu chanted his spell, numerous bones appeared out of nowhere, enveloping the four scrapped combat golems on the ground and forming two white orbs composed of bones and steel.

The orbs coalesced into two female figures, each wielding a Great Scythe and clad in armor, floating in mid-air with a pair of ghastly white Light Wings slowly unfolding behind them.
