Global Game: I, the Necromancer, am the scourge

(This was written in the original form of my friend who, at the age of twenty-two, had the face of a thirty-five-year-old with a full beard + forehead lines. Now in his thirties, he looks almost fifty...(*￣︶￣) But no more jokes, otherwise a real-life PK would be unfavorable.)

"Zi Liyuan, come and fight!"

The roar of anger spread from the arena, filling the entire stadium.

Looking at the provoked and furious Wu Tianzhen, Zi Liyuan also put away his curiosity. With a slight squint in his eyes, his magic wand emitted a dense layer of gray-black mist.

"As you wish, let the battle begin!"

Element Master VS Necromancer

The battle erupted in an instant, the entire sky above the arena painted a fiery red, with countless fireballs coming together in moments. Guided by Wu Tianzhen in the sky, they transformed into a meteor shower of flames raining down towards Zi Liyuan’s position.

On the stage, the gray-black mist spread out in an instant, shrouding the entire arena and concealing all traces and movements of Zi Liyuan.

The lock of the Spirit was rendered ineffective in this moment, and without his line of sight, Wu Tianzhen was forced to use brute strength to pressure his opponent into revealing himself!

In a short time, the number of fireballs in the sky multiplied geometrically, turning the entire sky into an ocean of fireballs.

Zi Liyuan, hidden within the death fog, immediately teleported to the edge of the other side of the arena.

Without any hesitation, he pulled out the Array Plate and quickly set up the necessary materials, promptly activating the skill — the Magic-Sealing Array!

With the infusion of Spiritual Power and the guidance of the Spirit, the Magic-Sealing Array took form within a mere second.

The very next moment, all Elemental Power within a 30,000-meter radius was dispelled.

The countless fireballs burning in the sky were suddenly snuffed out, and the Fire Element was forcefully purged from the area covered by the array.

In the blink of an eye, all elemental skills of silver quality or below, including those Zi Liyuan himself possessed, were placed under seal.

Through the blocking fog of war, Zi Liyuan looked at Wu Tianzhen still floating in the air, a hint of surprise flashing in his eyes.

He had thought that once the Magic-Sealing Array was completed, the other would lose his Wings of Flame and "plop" fall from the sky.

But to his surprise, his enemy still had plenty of tricks up his sleeve. Even with his Wings of Flame sealed, he remained floating in the air, without the embarrassment of falling.

"Tsk tsk, now with the tables turned, it’s my turn to take you down."

Zi Liyuan let out a weird chuckle, feeling that his words were slightly off, but it didn’t matter — it was time to finish off his opponent!

"Blessings of Heaven and Earth," "Death Curse," "Spectre Curse"...

One buff after another was stacked on himself in an instant.

Don’t get it wrong: as a wielder of death power, the Death Curse and the Spectre Curse were actually blessings in the form of enhancement spells for him.

With the addition of seven buffs, Zi Liyuan’s overall attributes were bolstered by 40%, and his death-related spells had their potency increased by 80%.

The next moment, a sky-full of Bone Spears shot out from the mist of death.

Each one locked onto and blocked Wu Tianzhen’s every way out: front, back, left, right, and beneath.

Spear of Death, Bone Spear, Poison Spear, Elemental Arrow...

A relentless onslaught of spells rained down, turning Wu Tianzhen into a tiny boat in a raging sea of anger.

The energy of death swept across, obliterating all resistance.

"I’ve been ready for your move for a long time. Elemental Shield, activate!"

A shield flickering with rainbow radiance enveloped Wu Tianzhen in an instant.

At the same time, he produced a crystal ball the size of a human head, shimmering with a rainbow glow, in his hand.

"What if you can seal the Elemental Powers around you, seal my spells, or weaken their power? Too bad, I was well-prepared, for my Elemental Magic Sphere stores a massive amount of energy from all elements."

As an Element Master, he could use different elements to combine into various fusion spells.

And these fusion spells, not skills recognized in the professional panel of the skill bar, aren’t included in the ban. The only reason they couldn’t be used was that the elemental energies around him were completely expelled.

This brings us to the brilliance of Dragon Academy’s teaching of controlling the Elemental Origin.

Without the essence of controlling elements, not knowing how to harness the various elemental powers, facing such a spell ban would leave one groping in the dark, at the mercy of others.

Wu Tianzhen, being the top student of the second year, naturally had control over the Elemental Origin and knew how to utilize the power of elements.

With his preparations in place and the Elemental Magic Sphere in his hand brimming with a vast force of Elemental Power, using his self-created fusion spells faced no obstacles, as easy as flipping his hand.

Thus, the audience in the arena witnessed a magical bombardment performance next.

Necromancer magic VS All-element magic

That bombardment, lasting less than ten minutes, put Zi Liyuan at a disadvantage, nearly overwhelmed by Wu Tianzhen’s aggressive suppression.

With the presence of the anti-magic array, he too was affected, with most of the spells from his necromancer skill tree being banned.

Especially with the ban on various curse spells, Zi Liyuan’s combat power had weakened by at least twenty percent.

Plus, he hadn’t been Level 100 for long, and even though he had grasped the Elemental Origin of death, he hadn’t devoted time to developing it.

So in terms of understanding and wield magic, he fell short of Wu Tianzhen, the Element Master.

When an Element Master doesn’t worry about the consumption of elemental energy nearby, he can truly become a magic turret, bombarding the target with a variety of fusion spells at will. Nôv(el)B\\jnn

On the other hand, Zi Liyuan’s command over death magic was limited. He could only rely on a dozen core output skills to deal damage, so it was quite normal for him to be suppressed by his opponent.

Besides, if Lord Zi could gather his opponent’s information, how could Wu Tianzhen fail to obtain detailed information about him?

Everyone was prepared; it was just a matter of whose preparations were more comprehensive.

Clearly, in a pure magic duel, Zi Liyuan was no match for his opponent.

If magic wasn’t his strong suit, he wasn’t about to seek further punishment in that area; he was not someone who relied solely on spells to conquer the world.

Whenever he used magic to solve problems, Lord Zi mainly relied on stealth attacks with his fusion variants, to ambush and annihilate his enemies.

"Indeed, someone who can become the top of their grade isn’t so easily defeated. Since that’s the case, I’ll get serious."

Almost instantly, Zi Liyuan’s magic wand erupted with endless death energy, conjuring a massive spatial gate behind him.

Deathly winds howled in, transforming the entire arena into a ghastly and eerie space.

"Roar~!"

Intense roars and growls continued as one Bone Dragon after another, flapping their shattered bone wings, flew out of the spatial gate and surged into the sky.

One, two, three, four... In just a few seconds, seven hundred Spectral Dragon Lords were hovering over the arena.

The Spectral Dragons amassed in the sky, their bone wings blotting out the sun and casting the arena into shadow.

Pairs of eerie green eyes fixed on Wu Tianzhen, who was also in mid-air, as if they were waiting for the command to swarm and tear him to shreds.

And at that moment, the noise in the arena fell into a deathly silence.

Shocked, terrified, and incredulous, everyone fell into a muted state.

These were seven hundred Spectral Dragon Lords!

Who wouldn’t panic when facing such a legion of Spectral Dragons?

It’s no exaggeration to say that the appearance of this army could completely obliterate a million-populated city without a super-strong defender!

Originally, the sophomores watching their precocious leader begin to press Zi Liyuan cheered and shouted madly.

Now, these sophomores didn’t dare speak loudly, fearful that the army of Spectral Dragons in the sky might swoop down and carry them away with a single breath of death.
