Douluo Dalu II: The Peerless Tang Sect

Chapter 28 A Visitor from Another World—The Necromancer Saint!

"Holding the sun and moon in my hands, plucking stars from the sky, there is no one like me in this world. I never imagined that my remnant soul would be able to survive!"

"Who!?" A strange voice suddenly rang in his ears, startling Zhu Ziyang so much that he almost went berserk. He jumped out of bed, and the Jing Shi Xiu Ming Scythe instantly appeared in his hand, his face showing vigilance.

"Child, don't be nervous." The aged voice came again, and sensing Zhu Ziyang's strong vigilance, he said reassuringly.

"Who are you?" Zhu Ziyang realized that the owner of the voice meant no harm, but he remained vigilant and asked sharply.

"I am nothing but a remnant soul, you don't need to worry," the aged voice said, and one could sense that he was trying his best to dispel Zhu Ziyang's wariness.

"A remnant soul!" Zhu Ziyang was startled upon hearing this. If a mere remnant soul could possess such a clear consciousness, then what terrifying being must the true form of this voice be? He remained calm and asked, "Where are you?"

"Hehe~ on your body," the aged voice replied with a laugh.

"You're in my sea of ​​consciousness!" Zhu Ziyang instantly understood, his face filled with horror, and he demanded, "When did this happen?"

"Don't be afraid, child. I really meant no harm." Seeing that Zhu Ziyang's wariness had risen again, the old voice became somewhat anxious and said repeatedly, "I was attracted by that silver wolf cub, I really meant no harm."

Silver wolf cub? Silver dragon wolf!

Zhu Ziyang understood that this remnant soul was most likely attracted by the energy disorder caused by the sacrifice of the Silver Dragon Wolf.

He pondered in his mind, his eyes gleaming with a faint golden light. At that moment, a pale golden flame appeared in the space within five meters around him. Seeing that flame, his previously vigilant heart finally relaxed.

The Eye of Light is the ultimate talent bestowed upon Zhu Ziyang by the ultimate light. It allows him to sense the attitude of any being with a soul toward him, whether it be good or evil. Only souls that have good intentions toward him will display golden flames.

Clearly, this mysterious remnant soul was not lying; it truly harbored no ill will towards Zhu Ziyang.

"Is it you?" Zhu Ziyang's consciousness entered the sea of ​​consciousness and immediately saw the gray bead and the silver rhombus-shaped crystal floating above the sea of ​​consciousness. The aged voice came from the gray bead.

"Yes, it's me." The gray bead swayed, and he seemed very happy to see that Zhu Ziyang trusted him.

"Who are you?" Zhu Ziyang looked at the gray bead with curiosity. He sensed the aura of light and death emanating from the bead, which made him very curious.

"Who am I? It's been a long time since anyone asked me that." The aged voice carried a sense of vicissitude and a hint of pride as it said, "My enemies call me the Scourge, my followers call me a god, and my creations call me father. I am the Scourge, I am the Necromancer, I am Elex!"

"Undead Scourge? Necromancer Saint? Electrolux?" Zhu Ziyang couldn't help but repeat it over and over, quickly searching his memory for relevant information, but he couldn't find any records related to these three names.

"Heh, no need to think about it. I don't belong to this world," Electrox said, his tone tinged with melancholy and surprise.

"Another world!" Zhu Ziyang was shocked. His gaze towards the gray bead became filled with curiosity and inquiry. He said, "Another world really exists? Are you a god from that other world?"

He thought of Electrolux's previous self-proclaimed identity and couldn't help but feel excited. If he really was a remnant soul of a god, wouldn't the knowledge and abilities he possessed be extremely powerful?

"God?" Electrox sensed Zhu Ziyang's excitement and replied with a wistful tone tinged with helplessness, "Unfortunately, I am just a coward who dares not take that last step, not a true god."

"I see!" Zhu Ziyang couldn't help but feel a little disappointed, but he had expected it. He said, "Then your strength is also very powerful, probably comparable to a Title Douluo in our world. So why are you only left with a wisp of your soul?"

"I don't remember," Electrox said, utterly bewildered. "In fact, if it weren't for the fact that your abilities are of the same origin as mine, allowing me to barely sustain myself, I would probably have already vanished."

"Same origin!" Upon hearing this key phrase, Zhu Ziyang immediately thought of Electrolux, who seemed to possess both Light and Death attributes. A thought struck him, and he asked, "You also possess both Light and Death attributes?"

"Yes. However, my death attribute was acquired later in life, unlike you, who were born with both light and death attributes," Electrox said.

"Hehe! Of course, I am the possessor of ultimate light!" Zhu Ziyang said with considerable pride.

"Ultimate light? Our world seems to be called the Children of Light. What a blessed child!" Electrox's tone was ambiguous, then he said, "Child, would you like to become my apprentice?"

"Huh?" Zhu Ziyang was surprised. He didn't expect Electrolux to want to take him as a disciple, and for a moment he didn't know how to answer.

"Child, you may think I'm joking," Elex said seriously. "Although I am just a remnant soul, my former realm was comparable to that of gods, which is more than enough to be your teacher, who is only a third-tier mage."

"Third-tier mage? Is that part of your world's cultivation system?" Zhu Ziyang didn't refute Ilex, but instead showed great interest in a term he mentioned, and asked.

“That’s right,” Electrox said. “Although I’m not familiar with the power system of your world, the elements are the same, and the principles of cultivation are common. I can teach you light magic and necromancy, and I can also teach you how to fuse the elements of light with the power of death.”

"You said you know how to fuse the Light and Death attributes?" Zhu Ziyang was overjoyed. He was struggling with how to fuse the two attributes of the Jing Shi Xiu Ming Scythe, and his interest was immediately piqued when he heard what Ilex said.

"That's for sure. There's a reason why I'm called the Holy God of Necromancy. All the undead I summon with my necromancy are immune to the light attribute." Electrox said with great pride when talking about his proud ability.

"Necromantic magic? What's that?" Zhu Ziyang asked.

"Once you become my disciple, you'll naturally understand what necromancy is," Ilex said, but instead of answering, he asked, "So? Are you willing to become my disciple?"

"..." Zhu Ziyang weighed the pros and cons in his mind.

After a long silence, he made his decision and called out to Electrolux, "Teacher!"

"Good! Good! Good!" Upon hearing Zhu Ziyang's shouts, Electrox was instantly overjoyed. The gray bead trembled violently as he shouted "Good!" three times in a row, saying, "Good boy, your name is Zhu Ziyang, right? I'll call you Ziyang from now on. You will definitely become my most outstanding disciple!"

"Does the teacher have any other disciples?" Zhu Ziyang asked.

"I think so..." Electrolux himself wasn't sure.

"Teacher, when are you going to teach me the method of merging light and death?" Zhu Ziyang asked with great interest, not caring about anything else.

"Haha, you're really impatient!" Electrox laughed upon hearing this, and said, "I'd love to impart my abilities to you right now, but I need to slumber to stabilize my soul before it vanishes into thin air."

"I see. Then, teacher, you should stabilize your soul first. I'm not in a hurry," Zhu Ziyang said, slightly disappointed but understanding.

"Haha, good boy!" Electrox laughed. "I will awaken in a year at most, and then I can teach you light magic and necromancy. In the meantime, you can try casting light magic with one hand and death magic with the other."

"Okay, teacher," Zhu Ziyang nodded and replied.

"Good! Good! Good!" Electrox said "good" three times in a row, then his voice gradually faded until it disappeared, and the gray bead also dimmed.
