21st Century Necromancer

Anubis summoned his own legion, and Chen Yu naturally did not show weakness, summoning his Undead Legion from the Necromantic Space.

Although Chen Yu's Undead Legion had already formed, its soldiers had only been battling among themselves, lacking rich combat experience. Now, with the ancient Egyptian Army of the Death God as opponents, this would be an incredibly rewarding battle.

The black Army of the Death God emerging from beneath the sands clashed with the red-clad Undead Soldiers from the Necromantic Space, who wore Blood Qi Armor.

Red and black collided, two armies that should never have intersected crossed time and space to clash on an undeserved battlefield.

Anubis' Army of the Death God was summoned from beneath the sands, their bodies mere sand solidified by a strand of divinity from Anubis. Although inferior to Chen Yu's carefully designed Dragonform Bodies, under the influence of Anubis' Divine Power, they could maximize the Army of the Death God's strength.

The souls of warriors who were courageous in life were taken into the Army of the Death God by Anubis after death, transformed into jackal-headed warriors with their physical qualities significantly enhanced, and they acquired the attribute of immortality.

Their sand-condensed bodies could not be harmed no matter how damaged, consuming only the energy that summoned them.

Until the energy sustaining them in the mortal world was depleted, the Army of the Death God could not be defeated. Even if all the sand-condensed soldiers were cut down, it would merely take some time for them to reconsolidate their bodies.

For an ordinary army, this would undoubtedly be an unbeatable enemy. After all, no matter how steadfast and brave, a military force would likely lose morale when, after exhausting all efforts to conquer the enemy, they would see them rise again swiftly from the ground.

However, for the Undead Legion, they were simply confronting an equivalent type of enemy, a matter of endurance, to see who could outlast whom.

As for endurance, the Undead Legion never feared any adversary.

Some of Chen Yu's Undead Legion differed from traditional undead legions. They were not low-level Skeletons and Zombies but higher-level Undead Soldiers. Strictly speaking, these Dragon-transformed soldiers remodeled by Chen Yu were not undead because they were alive.

Therefore, in the collision with the Army of the Death God, when the Army of the Death God fell, they turned into black ash before rising again from the sands, while Chen Yu's Dragonform Soldiers left corpses when they died.

Yet for the Undead Legion, death was merely a new beginning, and the corpses were just vessels and resources.

After the battle between the legions commenced, Chen Yu abandoned attacking Anubis, turning his attention to having the ship-girls attack while he concentrated on commanding the Undead Legion.

Various enhancement spells were applied to the Undead Legion, increasing the fighting capabilities of these undead soldiers while bathing their bodies with large amounts of Necromantic Power.

When these undead soldiers fell in battle, the necromantic power within them became concentrated, requiring only a catalyst to make them the perfect casting materials for necromancy.

Chen Yu, of course, understood this. Thus, when the number of fallen Undead Soldiers reached a certain level, a Necromancer's most iconic spell began brewing.

Resurrection of the Dead!

A ripple of purple light swept across the battlefield, activating the necromantic power within the fallen bodies, a flicker of flame igniting in their once-hollow eyes, bringing them back to life.

The resurrected Undead Soldiers were different than when they were alive. Once again, standing, their bodies brimming with necromantic power, activating pre-laid designs, transforming them further into fearless warriors with even greater combat capabilities.

The Necromancer's array of necromancies achieved the greatest effect on the deceased as many restrictions that bound the living were lifted.

Yet even with the Undead Legion unleashing its entire might, a gap in combat experience remained between them and the Army of the Death God. The two forces equalized in overall power, rendering the battle a stalemate.

Amidst this impasse, Chen Yu turned his gaze to Anubis, who appeared compelled to cope with the successive bombardments by the ship-girls.

Because the power of the ship-girls' bombardments was immense, if Anubis didn't maintain the defense, the shells would inevitably destroy Osiris' temple once they hit, requiring Anubis to constantly uphold the defense, unable to mount an offense.

Initially, Anubis hoped his army would break the stalemate, yet the Army of the Death God was blocked by the Undead Legion, preventing the situation Anubis hoped for, which instead devolved into a deadlock, making him increasingly angry and restless.

He was merely a fragment of Anubis' divinity. All spells and expressions of power were drawn from the Divine Power hoarded here. Once depleted, defeat was inevitable for Anubis.

This made him anxious and impatient, unwilling to face failure.

Failure was not something Anubis couldn't accept, yet his defeat affected not only himself but also Osiris, awaiting revival in the temple, rendering him unable to bear the consequences of failure.

As the impending consequences of his failure loomed in his mind, a hint of ferocity flashed across Anubis' jackal-headed face, and he finally made a decision.

While maintaining the protective barrier, Anubis waved his scepter, shooting golden rays to interfere with the ship-girls' bombardment. Simultaneously, he summoned the Army of the Death God again, filling more soldiers into the battlefield as he directed lightning bolts at the statues of himself and Horus nearby.

The two gigantic statues were awakened by Anubis!

The statues' eyes glowed, their corporeal forms animated, wielding weapons aimed at Chen Yu and his companions.

The golden idol Anubis had possessed now entirely melted, merging as golden liquid into the two gigantic statues.

In an instant, the statues radiated with brilliant light, even repelling the rising Waters of the Nether River over the stone steps, causing the battling soldiers on the square to roll over.

When the light faded, the two enormous statues became not only more imposing and sacred but also more agile.

The battle entered the second round.
