Game Invasion: Awakening the Necromancer at the Start

"This is..." the red dragon phantom exclaimed in surprise, "a fusion of death and life? Kid, you've taken a path never before trodden."

Su Wan opened her eyes, her pupils one golden and one dark, strange and mysterious.

He felt a qualitative change in his power; not only did his mental strength surge, but his physical fitness also improved to a higher level.

More importantly, he gained a new talent: [Dragon Soul Resonance] - which allows him to summon dragon spirits or establish a special connection with dragon creatures.

"Are you alright?" Ye Hongyu asked with concern.

She has finished absorbing the power, her level has soared from 20 to 25, her dragon blood purity has reached SSS level, and the berserk problem has been completely solved.

"It's alright, it's actually quite good." Su Wan felt the changes within her body. "Looks like I'm lucky."

Ye Wuhen watched as the two of them successfully absorbed the dragon blood essence, his eyes almost overflowing with jealousy.

But he suppressed his emotions and put on a smiling face: "Congratulations, Red Fish, you should be able to completely control your berserk state now. Can you come back with me now?"

"When did I say I wanted to go back?" Ye Hongyu retorted.

"You!" Ye Wuhen finally dropped his pretense. "Ye Hongyu, don't push your luck. The family has nurtured you for so many years, and you think you can just leave like that? You must come back with me today!"

He waved his hand, and the four guards immediately dispersed, forming an encirclement.

"Want to make a move?" Ye Hongyu sneered. "Perfect, I also want to test my current strength."

"Be careful." Su Wan stepped forward to stand beside her. "There are many of them."

"What are you afraid of?" Ye Hongyu said with fighting spirit. "You hold off two of them, and I'll take care of Ye Wuhen and the other two."

"Arrogant!" Ye Wuhen drew his sword. "Attack!"

Battle broke out.

Ye Hongyu went directly to Ye Wuhen. Both of them were Dragonblood Warriors, but Ye Hongyu's bloodline was now purer, and her level was only three levels lower.

The dragon claws collided with the dragon sword, unleashing a deafening roar.

On Su Wan's side, he faced two level 25 guards. He casually summoned three dragonbone guards, which tightly entangled the two.

But Ye Wuhen was experienced after all. Seeing that he couldn't break through after a long attack, he suddenly changed his move, forcing Ye Hongyu back with a sword, and then took out a scroll from his pocket and tore it open.

"Forbidden Magic Domain!"

A gray light spread out, and Su Wan felt her mental power being severely suppressed; the summoned skeletons became sluggish.

Su Wan originally only wanted to play tricks on her opponent.

Unexpectedly, this gave the enemy an opportunity.

"This scroll is specifically designed to target summoners!" Ye Hongyu's expression changed. "Ye Wuhen, you're truly despicable!"

"The victor is king, the loser is villain. What's with all this talk of despicable behavior?" Ye Wuhen sneered. "Now, it's time to end this."

He slashed at Su Wan with all his might. This strike concentrated all his power, and the dragon flames on the sword almost materialized.

Su Wan tried to dodge, but the magic-suppressing aura slowed him down by a fraction of a second. Just as the blade was about to fall—

"Brother!" A cry of surprise came from afar.

It's Su Li! She had entered the secret realm at some point and was now rushing out of the tunnel, followed by Lin Qingyue.

But the distance was too far, and there was no time to rescue them.

At the critical moment, Ye Hongyu made a move that shocked everyone.

She lunged in front of Su Wan, taking the blow with her back.

"Pfft—"

The dragon sword pierced through her chest.

Time seemed to stand still.

Ye Wuhen was stunned; he hadn't expected Ye Hongyu to shield Su Wan from the sword.

Su Wan was also stunned, staring blankly at the red figure blocking her way.

"Red fish..." His voice trembled.

Ye Hongyu coughed up a mouthful of blood, but laughed: "It seems... I'm still not strong enough."

Her body slowly went limp.

Su Wan hugged her, her eyes instantly bloodshot. Anger, regret, and murderous intent erupted in that moment.

The death energy within him surged wildly, shattering the magic-suppressing domain like glass.

"You... all have to die."

Su Wan raised her head, her pupils turning completely dark gold.

The lines on his left arm spread across his entire body, fully activating the bloodline of the Necromancer Lord.

[Necromancer Lord - True Form Descends]

Black death energy materialized into a cloak that billowed behind him.

The ground cracked, and countless skeletal hands reached out, grabbing Ye Wuhen and his guards' ankles.

The sky was dark, and the whispers of the dead echoed throughout the space.

"What...what is this?!" Ye Wuhen tried to break free in terror, but the bone hand gripped him tighter and tighter.

Su Wan gently put Ye Hongyu down and stood up.

With each step he took, the ground withered a little more. When he reached Ye Wuhen, the latter was so frightened that he collapsed to the ground.

Su Wan reached out and pressed her hand on Ye Wuhen's forehead.

Soul Harvesting

A piercing scream rang out. Ye Wuhen's body withered at a visible speed, eventually turning into a dried-up corpse.

His soul was extracted by Su Wan, struggled and wailed in her palm, and then was crushed.

The remaining three guards tried to escape, but the bone hand dragged them underground, leaving only their desperate cries behind.

The battle is over.

Su Wan deactivated her true form and staggered back to Ye Hongyu's side. Ye Hongyu had fallen into a coma, and blood was still flowing from her chest.

"Hold on." Su Wan tore open her clothes, revealing the wound. The sword wound was deep, almost piercing through her lung.

If it weren't for the dragon blood strengthening his body, this sword strike would have been fatal.

He tried to stop the bleeding with death energy, but with little effect. After all, death energy is not healing energy.

"Let me do it." Su Li ran over, her hands glowing with holy light. The soft light enveloped Ye Hongyu's wounds, and the bleeding slowly stopped, but her face remained pale.

"We need advanced treatment," Lin Qingyue said after examining the wound. "The wound is too deep; ordinary treatments can only temporarily stabilize it."

Su Wan took out the life potions she had obtained from the military treasury from her storage ring and fed them all to Ye Hongyu.

After taking the medicine, her breathing gradually stabilized, but she still didn't wake up.

"Let's get out of here first." Su Wan picked her up. "Zero, locate the nearest exit."

"A safe path has been found. Follow me."

Guided by Zero, the group quickly left the volcano. Su Li and Lin Qingyue followed behind, watching Su Wan carrying Ye Hongyu's back. They exchanged a glance, both seeing the complex emotions in each other's eyes.

"My brother cares about her a lot," Su Li whispered.

"Yes." Lin Qingyue nodded. "We're the same."

It was already evening when we left the secret realm and returned to Jiangcheng.

Su Wan took Ye Hongyu directly back to the medical room in the guild territory.

The nature mage in the guild was already waiting; her healing abilities were stronger than Su Li's.

"Leave it to me." The Nature Mage took Ye Hongyu and began to cast life magic.

Su Wan stood outside the door, leaning against the wall, her hands trembling slightly.

The anger from before has subsided, replaced by lingering fear.

He was just a teenager. Even though he was strong, he was not invincible. He was ambushed because of a moment of carelessness. If he had used his full strength from the beginning, Ye Hongyu would not have been injured. He underestimated his opponent.

"This isn't your fault," Lin Qingyue said softly as she walked to his side. "She's out of danger."

Su Wan did not speak.

Su Li also came over and took his hand: "Brother, Sister Hongyu will be alright."

"I know." Su Wan took a deep breath. "I'm just... a little tired."

Yes, he's tired. From the moment the game invaded until now, he's been fighting, getting stronger, and protecting those around him.

But today's events made him realize that he wasn't strong enough. If he were strong enough, he wouldn't have let his comrades take the sword for him.

"Go and rest," Lin Qingyue said. "Leave this to us."

Su Wan nodded and turned to leave. But instead of returning to his room, he went to the training ground.
