I'm really a necromancer

Chapter 251
And then in order to keep the secret, the passage leading to the hall was destroyed.

At that time, Yihua had not long been promoted to second-class apprentice and earth knight, and had just enslaved the third-class undead fear shadow.

There are no faceless shadows of the transformed undead that can be regarded as quasi-fourth-level now, and the declining men and horses who are truly fourth-level undead and are good at long-range and large-scale attacks.

It makes sense that Melkor exuded an extremely dangerous aura based on his own perception at that time.

The thought flashed past, and then Yihua's eyes flashed, and he tested Melkor:

"Since you are using the power of blood plague, you should know where the leader of the blood-worshiping pagan cult from Camilla City has gone, right?"

This time, Melkor also did not answer directly to Yihua's inquiry, but pointedly said:

"Hehe, you'll know soon."

As soon as he finished speaking, a strange smile appeared on Melkor's lips.

The next moment, Melkor turned into a bloody rainbow and attacked Yihua who was very close at hand.

Relying on the previously activated life burst state of the Earth Knight, as well as the blessings of the third-class necromancer apprentice, and the third-class semi-necromantic witch body.

Yihua reacted in an instant. While retreating quickly, five tentacles of illusory fear that were difficult to detect burst out at the body of Melkor who was attacking him.

Each of the five illusory tentacles of fear is comparable to that of Yihua's full sword with [-]% to [-]% strength.

Due to the short time of the fight, Melkor had no time to identify the five almost transparent tentacles of fear that were piercing him.

Therefore, five tentacles of fear fell on Melkor without any surprise.

Bang bang bang!
In an instant, a bloody barrier covering Melkor's body unfolded, blocking the five attacks from the tentacles of fear for Melkor who was unable to react.

At the moment when he was attacked by five tentacles of fear one after another, Melkor's blood-colored barrier powered by the power of the blood plague exploded into a dazzling scarlet light.

When the light dissipated and the five fear tentacles were bounced away, the bloody barrier on Melkor's body had become much more transparent.

"Huh? What the hell?"

Melkor, who had not yet rushed in front of Ihua, felt himself being attacked by an invisible and unknown attack. In an instant, part of the power of the blood plague in his body was consumed. His pupils shrank and he quickly retreated.

Melkor, who withdrew tens of meters later, felt the part consumed in his body, and his heart almost bled.

Unlike life energy or magic power, unless they are blood plague wizards, although others can use the power of blood plague, they cannot passively grow and recover it.

This also means that the power of the blood plague given to Melkor by his mentor Petain was completely used up.

Although you can actively increase the power of blood plague by devouring the lives of others.

But if the power of the blood plague is consumed, then one can only continue to devour the lives of others and recollect the power of the blood plague.

Melkor now has probably accumulated the power of the blood plague in his body equivalent to nearly a thousand first-class apprentices.

Just by passively activating the blood barrier to block Ihua's attack that had no warning and could not be observed, Melkor's body consumed the power of the blood plague comparable to twenty or thirty first-class apprentices!
The power of the blood plague formed by devouring nearly a thousand first-class apprentices could only withstand thirty or fifty rounds of attacks like Yi Hua's just now.

Although it sounds like it doesn't cost much, with the strength of Melkor and Yihua, the two can fight several times in an instant.

Thirty to fifty rounds of attacks, even if Melkor tried his best to dodge and defend, he could only last for a quarter of an hour at most.

If Melkor fails to finish off Ihua before the quarter of an hour expires when the power of the blood plague is exhausted, Melkor, who has lost the power of the blood plague, will no longer be a match for Ihua.

In fact, if the power of the blood plague in Melkor's body is consumed to a certain extent, Melkor's quasi-fourth-level apprentice level power will fall back to the third-level level again due to the increase in the power of the blood plague.

In order to reduce Melkor's strength to the fourth level, it does not need to take a quarter of an hour. It is enough to consume the power of the blood plague in Melkor's body to 500 people.

But before Melkor could see clearly what was attacking him.

Accompanied by a series of whistling sounds that tore through the air, a glaring sense of crisis once again emerged in Melkor's heart.

Without any hesitation, Melkor followed his instinct and retreated again, avoiding the fear tentacles pierced by Ihua.

When he exited about 80 meters, due to the extension limit of the fear tentacles, Yihua could no longer mobilize the fear tentacles to attack Melkor.

So Yihua set off decisively and took the initiative to attack Melkor.

Melkor on the other side wanted to fight back, but the next moment he felt the invisible threat coming from Yihua again, so he decisively retreated again.

With wisdom higher than that of ordinary apprentices, Melkor judged after just a few seconds that the invisible attack launched by Yihua had a limited range.

Realizing this, Melkor decisively retreated again, no longer trying to attack at close range, but kept a distance from Yihua, consuming the power of the blood plague from afar to condense the scarlet energy blade, and launched attacks on Yihua one after another.

Seeing the two scarlet energy blades coming towards him, Yihua paused as Melkor approached, snorted coldly, and instantly slashed out two pale golden crescent sword energy.

boom!boom!
Just like before, the scarlet energy blade and the pale golden Crescent Sword Qi collided together in mid-air, accompanied by a hissing sound and the noise of energy erosion, canceling each other out.

Although the two offset each other, from the perspective of the time it takes for the energy to dissipate after the offset, Melkor's scarlet energy blade is superior.

This is not what Yihua expected. After all, he has not yet reached the limit of the Earth Knight.

Under normal circumstances, an Earth Knight of the same level as Yi Hua would be unable to compete with the scarlet energy blade even if he tried his best to compress and release the Crescent Sword Qi.

Now Yihua's pale golden Crescent Sword Qi can barely offset Melkor's scarlet energy blade, completely relying on the conversion of most of it into high-grade metamorphic life energy that can burn life force - Yang Yan life energy.

According to the information currently known to Yihua, in fact, the existences that controlled the "power of the blood plague" that Yihua had encountered before, including Melkor, did not actually control the real power of the blood plague.

In Yihua's opinion, the so-called blood plague power controlled by Melkor and others is very similar to life energy, but it is more violent and polluting.

Compared with the real power of blood plague that Yi Hua once learned about in the college library, its essence is more like the life energy infiltrated by the real power of blood plague.

Therefore, it is normal to be restrained by the Yang Yan life energy that can burn life energy.

Even as the pale golden Crescent Sword Qi and the scarlet energy blade offset each other, Yihua and Melkor did not pause.In just a few moments, the two of them were moving within a few hundred meters at a speed that was almost impossible for ordinary apprentices to catch.

A group of surviving apprentices hundreds of meters away are now outsiders.

Everyone, unable to have the slightest impact on the battle situation, could only stare blankly, looking at the battlefield in the distance where the pale golden crescent sword energy and scarlet energy blades were flying, and the explosions of attacks and collisions were heard one after another.

"So fast! With the reaction speed of my top second-class apprentice, I couldn't even see clearly the scene of their fight!"

"Is this the pinnacle of this apprenticeship, the battle to reach the fourth-level apprenticeship level?"

"I feel like if it were me who went up there, I wouldn't be able to survive even a single face-to-face encounter!"

"The power shown by the two now seems to be no less than that of Apophis, who was at the top of the academy a few years ago and won the No. 1 Academy Competition and Apprentice Examination with an almost crushing attitude!"

Gabriel, who was not far away, eagerly wanted to step forward and help Yihua, but he knew deeply that he could not intervene in such a level of battle just by himself.

So he could only grit his teeth and stay where he was, watching the battle between Melkor and Ihua in the distance, with a look of fascination on his face.

Wanting to become stronger, the seed of unwillingness quickly sprouted in Gabriel's heart.

"I'm still too weak now. I have to become stronger until I can help Brother Yihua!"

To be fair, Gabriel's progress speed is extremely astonishing compared to other apprentices.

In just over two months, he went from being a weakling who first entered the second class and was bullied by the ordinary first and second class apprentices of Freemasonry, to now being a top second class person who has become a quasi-third class with the help of the Holy Light Bead. Apprenticeship exists.

Even in the realm of knighthood, within a month of concurrently training as a knight, he quickly surpassed the level of a formal knight and was promoted to the level of a peak knight.

However, no matter how hard Gabriel tried, it would be difficult to catch up with Yihua, who had no bottleneck in breaking through and whose promotion speed was completely unreasonable.

Ihua and Melkor, who became stronger at an alarming rate through their soul powers and devouring the lives of others, have surpassed normal geniuses and become monsters.

At the same time, Yihua, who was fighting Melkor, frowned. After noticing something strange, he asked casually during the battle:

"Why is it all the power of blood plague? Where did your Shadow Snake bloodline go?"

At the same time as Ihua asked, Melkor dodged a tentacle of fear that attacked him.

After a long battle, Melkor had gradually become aware of the existence of the Terror Tentacles, which also caused the hit rate of the Terror Tentacles to begin to decrease.

Whether it was a whim or another purpose, Melkor did not conceal Yihua's inquiry as before, but said directly:

"Hmph, the blood in my body has been replaced by the power of the blood plague under the advice of Master Petain. Now I am stronger than before!"

Yihua saw another scarlet energy blade coming towards him. After replenishing his life energy through the holy light beads, he swung his sword again and slashed out a pale golden crescent sword energy. At the same time, he thought carefully about Melkor's answer.

After a while, after recalling his past experiences and knowledge, Yihua couldn't help laughing.

Yihua's sneer made Melkor frown, and he mocked casually:

"Why, the pressure of fighting me is too much, causing you to lose your mind and go crazy?"

Melkor's taunt did not make any waves in Yihua's heart.

He looked at Melkor with pity and a hint of mockery, and while dodging Melkor's attack, he said bluntly:
"Poor, when did you need to replace your own blood after implanting the power of the blood plague? Don't you understand until now? You were deceived by your mentor!"

As soon as these words came out, Melkor's hand movements also stopped, and he said with a cold face:

"What do you mean?"

Realizing that Melkor seemed to have doubts about this and did not trust his mentor Petain too much, Yihua's eyes flashed:
"If my guess is correct, your mentor Petain should also have the power of blood plague, right? As a fifth-level bloodline sorcerer, who has merged with the blood of the 'Blood Dragon Beast', has he replaced his own bloodline?"

"For him, you are just a tool that can be used temporarily. Your only value lies in the blood of the Shadow Snake that you possess, which has reached the level of a formal wizard!"

At this point, seeing Melkor's expression change, Yihua knew that his mind-attacking tactics were working.

In order to get more information from Melkor about his mentor Petain, and even the real plan, Yihua once again struck while the iron was hot:
"To the blood plague wizard, the power of the blood plague is just a useless thing that can be produced infinitely. Your original bloodline of the Shadow Snake has probably been taken by your mentor as his own!"

"Now that you have lost the blood of the Shadow Snake, do you still have any value to him?"

Hearing these words, Melkor's eyes flickered and his expression turned cold.

Yihua seemed to see something from Melkor's subconscious expression, and changed the topic:
"If my guess is correct, you must not have entered the secret world just to take the apprenticeship exam, right? Your mentor Petain must have given you an unknown task, right?"

"Once the mission is completed and you have lost the bloodline of the Shadow Snake, even the last trace of its use value has been completely lost. You should know that the power of the blood plague can devour each other, right? By then, for you, your mentor Petain is actually your biggest enemy!"

At this point, Yihua felt that he had said enough, so he decisively suggested:

"In this case, why don't we give up temporarily and you tell all about Petain's plan and get rid of your mentor Petain first!"

Although he said so on the surface, Yihua did not intend to let go of Melkor, who had murderous intentions for him, repeatedly opposed him, and even killed many Illuminati apprentices.

The words spoken now are just to extract as much valuable information as possible from Melkor before his death.

After all, with Melkor's strength, Yihua could not guarantee that after he defeated Melkor, he would be able to use the Holy Light to "return to evil" and obediently reveal all his secrets to him.

Since force is not enough, the best way is to use psychological means to eliminate Melkor's hostility.

In Yihua's expectation, the best outcome was that Melkor listened to his suggestion and chose to reveal his mentor Petain's plan.

After this, Yihua no longer held back and used all his strength to eliminate Melkor.

But the result obviously won’t be so smooth——
