21st Century Necromancer

This was Misumi Mikoto’s first visit to Chen Yu’s Necromantic Space.

Though she was already Chen Yu’s apprentice and had received instruction from the Necromancer, this was, strictly speaking, Misumi Mikoto’s first encounter with the actual Mystic Side of things. Before this, whether it was the case of her girlfriend from the Nakado Department or Chen Yu’s teaching her necromancy spells, she hadn’t truly touched the supernatural world.

Therefore, when the scene before her eyes instantly shifted from the bustling streets of Tokyo to a landscape of dark rocks and a castle and towers in the distance, Misumi Mikoto, after being stunned for a moment, felt a surge of expectation and curiosity, along with a hint of excitement.

"Teacher, what is this place?" With a curious heart, Misumi Mikoto gazed at the distant towers and castle, taking in her surroundings while she asked Chen Yu.

Although there was no sun in the Necromantic Space, there was still light maintained through magic, and this illumination was adjusted according to a twenty-four-hour cycle, in sync with the outside world. Thus, like the outside world, it was also night in the Necromantic Space at this time. Enjoy exclusive adventures from NovelBin.Côm

This was why Misumi Mikoto saw a pitch-black Necromantic Space, with only the castle and towers lit up in the distance, and only the dark rocks nearby and the path paved with dark stone bricks beneath her feet.

However, even though it was the night of the Necromantic Space, there was still a faint glow around, enough for Misumi Mikoto to clearly see her surroundings, rather than being pitch black where she couldn’t even see her own hand.

"This here is the Necromantic Space, you can consider it my private domain," Chen Yu explained to Misumi Mikoto, imparting knowledge about the Necromantic Space: "The Necromantic Space isn’t part of the real world, nor is it a complete space. Strictly speaking, this is a Space Fragment, which I captured and then transformed with the methods of the Necromancer, turned into a stable space.

For Necromancers, the Necromantic Space is their Headquarters and logistics base, and it is the safest place for Necromancers.

In here, Necromancers can create the most suitable environment for their Undead Servants to exist, and they can also build their own Mage Towers, stockpile their Army of the Dead, and experiment without worries or interference."

"I think it’s more like a secret base!" said Misumi Mikoto, somewhat excited. This kind of hidden place known only to oneself did indeed resemble the "secret bases" that boys would build in the countryside during the summer holidays when she was a child.

"If that’s how you’d like to understand it, that’s not wrong either," Chen Yu said indifferently, raising his eyebrows. After all, there were differences between the culture of Necromancers in the Multiverse and that of Earth; such an understanding could indeed facilitate comprehension: "In short, this is a secret place undisturbed by the outer world, where you can use necromancy spells without any concerns. The reason I brought you here is precisely because of this reason; here, you can practice freely without worries."

After finishing, Chen Yu didn’t lead Misumi Mikoto towards the towers and castle. Instead, he did the opposite, taking her along a dark mountain path, heading behind the mountain wall.

Although Misumi Mikoto felt puzzled, her unfamiliarity and curiosity about the Necromantic Space left her unsure of how to ask questions, so she could only silently follow Chen Yu as they traversed the mountain wall to the other side.

What presented itself before Misumi Mikoto... was a hillside made of white bones, and at the foot of the hill was a massive Blood Pool, the strong stench of blood almost making her vomit.

Although Misumi Mikoto’s profession was a forensic doctor, and she had seen all sorts of corpses and bizarre deaths in her line of work, the sight of bones piled up like mountains and blood flowing like streams, almost accumulating into a lake, still exceeded her imagination.

The intensity of such a scene, which Misumi Mikoto had only ever seen in films and television, was incomparable to the fabricated scenes of the silver screen, especially the thick stench of blood that permeated the air, nearly sent her tumbling to the ground.

"Teacher, this is..." Misumi Mikoto didn’t know how to describe what she was seeing before her eyes; the scene, resembling mountains of corpses and a sea of blood, had nearly rendered her incapable of thought.

"This is the actual examination site for you to inspect and practice on," Chen Yu explained to Misumi Mikoto, but seeing her covering her mouth, struggling to suppress the urge to vomit, he frowned.

As a Necromancer, though such a scene wasn’t unfamiliar, it also wasn’t something that should make one want to vomit. Chen Yu was somewhat dissatisfied with Misumi Mikoto’s reaction and, after considering for a moment, he said to her, "However, before that, take off your clothes."

"Take off my clothes?" Upon hearing Chen Yu’s words, Misumi Mikoto’s eyes widened in astonishment, unclear about what Chen Yu really meant. She couldn’t help but clutch her collar, a fearful look on her face, "Teacher, you couldn’t possibly want to do something here..."

While saying this, even the look Misumi Mikoto gave to Chen Yu changed.

Although she didn’t mind something happening between her and Chen Yu, the environment was still something Misumi Mikoto couldn’t accept.

"I want you to practice the Spell here, but you can’t even face these things, which is quite disappointing," Chen Yu, of course, picked up on the implication in Misumi Mikoto’s words, but he didn’t care and continued according to his own thoughts, "So I need you to go down into that Blood pool below, soak yourself for half an hour, and then come back up. I told you to take off your clothes so you wouldn’t dirty them, as I don’t have replacements for you. Since you’re unwilling to undress, then just go down as you are."

After speaking, Chen Yu simply watched Misumi Mikoto, apparently waiting for her to step into the Blood pool herself.

Hearing what Chen Yu said, Misumi Mikoto realized she had misunderstood and felt somewhat embarrassed, but looking at the Blood pool below, exuding a strong scent of blood, any romantic thoughts vanished from her mind.

Even as a Female Forensic Doctor who had dissected over one thousand five hundred bodies, the idea of submerging herself completely in fresh blood still made her face change with apprehension.

"If you’re afraid, then go back. But from now on, I won’t teach you anything new," Chen Yu’s casual remark floated into her ears just as Misumi Mikoto was wrestling with herself internally.

Misumi Mikoto took a deep breath; her face turned pale, but with a determined look in her eyes, she began to reach for the buttons of her clothing.

Though the thought of undressing and getting into the Blood pool was unbearable for her, being expelled by Chen Yu and no longer able to learn new necromantic spells was something she found even more unacceptable.
