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.

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.
