I'm really a necromancer

Chapter 250: Fight against Melkor!
To Melkor's answer, the blond and red-robed Petain did not answer.

He nodded, turned to the side and said bluntly:
"Kemp, let's go."

After saying that, "Blood Maker" Petain and another thin fifth-level apprentice in black robes called Camp flashed and disappeared into the darkness of the secret world.

After doing all this, Melkor seemed to feel something. He walked out of the cave and took out the resonance stone in his pocket.

Not long after, five excited Masonic apprentices walked into the light area around Melkor.

Seeing the president Melkor appear in front of them, the five Masonic apprentices showed joy and quickly said to Melkor:
"Lord Guild Melkor, we have discovered a giant lumenite vein!"

"But there are hundreds of apprentices gathered around, including Rey, the president of the Silver Star Society, and top apprentices such as Enzo, the newly promoted third-class necromancer apprentice."

After hearing the information provided by the five Masonic apprentices, Melkor's eyes lit up with a gloomy face, and a look of joy flashed through his eyes.

"Hundreds of apprentices, as well as several third-class apprentices including Rey. After swallowing them, the power of the blood plague in my body should be able to increase several times, and I can compete with the fourth-class apprentices..."

Without waiting for the five Masonic apprentices to continue speaking, Melkor, relying on his confidence in his own strength, raised his hand to stop the five Masonic apprentices from continuing, and said with cold eyes:

"Lead the way."
-
Time flies back to the present, around the giant Lumenite vein.

puff!
Just at the peak of his strength, with the blessing of a group of apprentices, Rey was knocked away by Melkor. Rey, who was seriously injured again, collapsed to the ground and coughed out a mouthful of blood.

He looked at Melkor, a hundred meters away, who was about to massacre dozens of surviving apprentices in the next second, and the reluctance in his heart seemed to be endless.

"I'm not willing to give in. I clearly have fourth-level qualifications and a bright future. I haven't passed the exam yet. I'm going to the real Nine-ring White Pagoda in the mainland and seeing a wider world. How can it end here!"

He wanted to get up and fight again, but now both his body and soul were suffering from frequent injuries and serious wear and tear during the recovery process.

At this moment, Lei Yi, who was dizzy, spent all his strength just to lift a finger.

Gabriel on the other side was protecting the remaining thirty or so Illuminati apprentices behind him.

Faced with the almost certain death situation, he did not think about retreating, and even left the Illuminati disciples behind him and ran away alone.

But when Gabriel recalled Yihua's instructions and his current responsibilities as the temporary vice president of the Illuminati, he finally made up his mind.

Even if he dies, he will dedicate his last bit of strength to protecting the Illuminati apprentices!
There was no time for Rey, Gabriel and others to recall, and with the scarlet light, they escaped from Melkor's hands.

"die!"

Two blood-colored sharp blades, as thick as arms and seven or eight meters long, instantly spanned a distance of tens of meters and struck towards Rey, Gabriel and the others.

"Brother Yihua, please help me!"

Gabriel thought to himself.

At the same time, the blazing orange flame rekindled, burning brightly on Gabriel's sword blade.

As the Holy Light Bead restored the life energy in Gabriel's body to its original state, his heart beat, and blood burst out throughout his body with strong vitality. Gabriel once again started the explosion of life.

Gabriel's pupils shrank when he saw the terrifying bloody energy blade coming towards him.

But in the next second, he rushed forward without hesitation, trying to use the sword in his hand and the top knight-level body blessed by the Holy Light Pearl to block the sharp blade for the Illuminati apprentices behind him.

While most of the other apprentices were desperate, they stayed where they were, waiting to die.

A group of Illuminati disciples behind Gabriel started to move one after another, shouting loudly and rushing towards Gabriel.

"Brother Gabriel!"

"Brother Gabriel is leading the charge, how can we stand behind him and survive!"

"Quickly release the witchcraft and protect the temporary vice-president!"

Realizing that it was too late to act, a group of Illuminati apprentices rummaged through the remaining witchcraft scrolls and quickly tore them open and used them on Gabriel.

However, most of the witchcraft scrolls held by everyone were consumed in the previous battles, and the few remaining ones were consumed on Rey just now.

Nowadays, most of the witchcraft scrolls in the hands of many Illuminati apprentices are healing scrolls that are temporarily useless.

In an instant, more than thirty Illuminati apprentices found only two or three amplified witchcraft scrolls and aimed them at Gabriel.

"Oops!"

Just when a group of Illuminati apprentices secretly revealed that something was wrong, Gabriel was about to collide with the scarlet energy blade that Melkor waved casually.

Two light golden sword energy suddenly appeared, one step ahead of the scarlet energy blade, which was not inferior to the scarlet energy blade, and collided with the scarlet energy blade.

boom!boom!
Two explosions came in succession, and the huge force blew Gabriel, who was only a few meters away from the two who collided, flying away.

Fortunately, the impact produced by the collision of the scarlet energy blade and the pale golden sword energy was not lethal.

Relying on the power of the top knight's life burst, Gabriel somersaulted in the air and landed safely.

When Gabriel raised his head again and took a closer look, he saw a figure burning with pale flames colliding with Melkor, who was in black robes and red eyes.

boom!
If the scarlet energy blade collided with the pale golden sword energy previously, the sound would be equivalent to hearing the sound of bullets being fired at close range.

Now this figure covered in pale flames collided with Melkor, and the sound it made was equivalent to a cannonball exploding at close range.

All of a sudden, the huge impact spread, and the soil on the surrounding grass was blown up, and a large amount of the shaken soil fell from the sky.

Even the surviving apprentices who were dozens of meters away felt a constant buzzing in their ears and lost their hearing for a short time.

After a while, all the apprentices present recovered from their blindness and dizziness one after another, and everyone looked at where the two of them were.

"What happened? It seems that an apprentice suddenly appeared and collided with Melkor?" "Why has there been no movement for a long time? Logically speaking, after Melkor has dealt with the opponent, shouldn't he turn his attention to us again? ? Could it be that that apprentice really blocked Melkor?"

"How is it possible? Now Melkor's strength is probably comparable to the weaker fourth-class apprentices. Almost all the strongest people in this apprenticeship exam were defeated or died at the hands of Melkor. Where did they come from? An apprentice who can compete with Melkor?"

When the smoke gradually cleared, the figures of Melkor and another apprentice slowly appeared in everyone's sight.

"Wait, that person..."

After vaguely seeing the silhouette of the apprentice who collided with Melkor, many apprentices present were stunned, and an unbelievable thought arose in their hearts.

At the same time, Gabriel and other Illuminati apprentices took out the resonance stones they carried with them.

Feeling the very close fluctuations emitted by the resonance stone, the eyes of the Illuminati apprentices shone, and their faces said enthusiastically:

"It turns out to be true, that is the vice-president of our Illuminati - Mr. Yihua!"

Hearing the speeches of the Illuminati apprentices, mainly composed of Silver Star apprentices, the other surviving apprentices looked surprised.

But when the man who collided with Melkor appeared in front of everyone with pale flames burning on his body, gray hair, amber pupils, and a face that was very similar to Rey but more calm, there was no room for other apprentices to question.

"What happened? The one who collided with Melkor turned out to be Rey's eldest brother who is a second-class necromancer - Ivar Fersis!"

"Isn't it? Didn't he abstain from the previous Academy Competition one after another, and finally fell behind Rey and Melkor? Isn't he the No. 3 in this Academy Competition?"

"Since Melkor can hide his strength and choose to abstain, why can't this Yihua? Now it seems that if he had shown his true strength at that time, he would definitely be worthy of Rey, and he could even compete with Melkor today! This is even a matter of fact. Something that even Rey can’t do!”

Although the apprentices were shocked by this, their faces showed different expressions, guessing Yihua's purpose of hiding his strength.

But there is still no objection to the fact that Yihua saved everyone.

If there is anyone here who is most shocked that Yihua can use hard power to stop Melkor, then this person is undoubtedly the one who won the No. 1 in the academy competition before and became the No. 1 apprentice in the eyes of others who do not know the truth. of Rey.

Not far away, with the support of "Silver Wolf" Soth, the vice-president of the Silver Star Society, Rey sat up in front of him and looked at Yihua, who was standing not far from Melkor and was in a brief confrontation with him. .

"Brother Yi, how is it possible, you actually..."

At this moment, Rey had a look of astonishment on his face and subconsciously murmured in his heart.

Not far away, Melkor, whose face was as cold as ever, but whose eyes were shining with blazing scarlet light, raised his eyebrows and said with slight surprise:
"Oh? I only thought that you were just a small character whose strength was comparable to that of Rey. I didn't expect that you had hidden so much power. I thought that this apprenticeship exam would not be challenging at all. I was ready to enter the final stage. , I didn’t expect to have unexpected gains.”

"Even the most powerful Earth Knight cannot compete with me, who is now almost as strong as a fourth-class apprentice. The strength you just showed is many times stronger than that idiot Rey. A second-class apprentice shouldn't be What is your true identity? In addition to the Earth Knight, what other powers do you use?"

Due to Melkor's own combat experience, in just a short moment of fighting, he judged that the power contained in the blow that Yihua had just blocked his attack far exceeded the limit of the earth knight.

The truth is just as Melkor said.

Although today's Yihua is at the level of a top earth knight, there is still a certain distance between him and the sky knight who is comparable to fourth-class apprentices.

Putting everything aside, in terms of physical strength alone, Yihua could only barely hold on under Melkor's attack with the help of the Holy Light Pearl.

But under the overall increase in strength and survivability of the third-level half-dead witch body, it was just like the previous battle with the fourth-level undead and dead men.

With the level of the top earth knight who activates life burst, Yihua also has the power to fight against the existences of the fourth level.

Not to mention, at this moment, Melkor is still essentially a third-class apprentice. However, after devouring a large amount of life, and with the increase in the power of the blood plague, his pure physical strength can barely compete with the weakest fourth-class apprentice, or the Sky Knight. .

Melkor now is, at best, just a blank slate apprentice with a Sky Knight-level physique, but without the corresponding level of wizard or abilities.

In terms of overall strength, it is far from the opponent of the fourth-class apprentices or the Sky Knight, who has a more powerful way to use life energy like the Earth Knight's life energy.

This also led to a situation where, after a brief battle, Melkor, whose strength had skyrocketed due to the increase in the power of the blood plague, was evenly matched with Yihua, who did not summon the undead and only relied on his own physical strength to fight.

Hearing Melkor's exclamation, Yihua, who was holding the mithril cross sword, did not answer. Instead, he glanced at the scarlet energy lingering on Melkor's body and said casually:

"The scarlet power you are using is the power of blood plague, right?"

Melkor's eyes flashed, and he said with a smile:

"What if it is, what if it isn't?"

Melkor did not answer Yihua's question normally, but Yihua had already judged at a glance that Melkor was using the power of blood plague through many previous personal experiences and the earth knight's transcendent ability to perceive life energy.

In an instant, Yihua thought of his experience in Camilla City.

At that time, the blood-worshipping cult, which controlled the power of the blood plague, was rampant in the city.

It was Yihua who used himself as bait to investigate the blood-worshiping pagan headquarters located in the underground drainage pipes of Camilla City.

At that time, under the call of Brother Fabius, Yihua also participated in the battle to encircle and suppress the headquarters of the blood worshiping pagan cult.

But from the beginning to the end, Yi Hua and the other participating apprentices did not encounter the leader of the blood-worshiping pagan cult, nor Melkor, the president of the Freemasonry who had previously entered the underground drainage pipe.

Since there was no way to enter, many apprentices who participated in the siege of the Blood Worshiping Pagan Cult returned before entering the underground hall suspected of being the headquarters of the Blood Worshiping Pagan Cult.

Because all the passages leading to the underground hall were blocked at that time, there was no way to enter in a short time.

Since there was no longer a blood worshiping cult in Camilla City, everyone could only think that the leader of the blood worshiping cult had already died in the battle or had fled in advance.

Only Yihua sensed the extremely dangerous atmosphere inside the blocked passage leading to the underground hall that was suspected to be the headquarters of the blood-worshiping pagan cult.

Now that I think about it, Melkor's mentor Petain has the power of blood plague, which is related to the blood plague wizard who has frequently attacked the Nine Rings White Tower Branch recently.

Melkor, who was not seen by everyone at the time, might have entered the underground hall first, just like the leader of the Blood Worship Cult who had never appeared before.
