Today, for the residents of the imperial capital, it is absolutely a day worth remembering. The duel between the illegitimate son Ye Chui and Snake-Haired Yuren was eagerly anticipated by all, with countless people craning their necks in expectation, but only a few truly witnessed that duel. Most people gathered under Dragon’s Nest Mountain, waiting for the results to come down from the mountain.
Then they witnessed the scene of that black mountain suddenly collapsing into fragments. Was that caused by the duel? But what kind of duel could actually produce such an aftermath!
Many people guessed that it must have been caused by Snake-Haired Yuren’s magic, and further thought that under such an attack, Ye Chui could not possibly remain intact. He was bound to lose… But soon, the result transmitted from the mountain left everyone utterly dumbfounded.
“The scene at the time was absolutely shocking. Snake-Haired Yuren’s petrification demon eye power was fully awakened. Snake-Haired Yuren transformed into a human demon, with venomous snakes growing out of his head. That appearance was truly terrifying. His eyes also possessed Medusa’s most dreadful power. Anyone gazed upon by him would completely turn to stone. It was truly frightening…” A person fortunate enough to observe the battle on the mountain exclaimed in awe while explaining to the crowd.
“Snake-Haired Yuren actually fully awakened Medusa’s power. So how could that Ye Chui possibly fight him? The victor of this martial trial must surely be Snake-Haired Yuren!” Someone immediately asked.
The storyteller, however, began to tease suspense: “What do you think?”
“That Ye Chui is also a very capable person. It is said his nickname is the Almighty Magic Mentor. He must certainly have some skills himself, but to defeat Yuren, that should be impossible, right?”
“I think it must have been a fierce battle!”
“I guess the illegitimate son has already turned into a stone statue by now.”
The crowd speculated one after another.
The storyteller immediately revealed a proud smile: “No, you are all wrong. The final victor was Mr Ye Chui!” Having witnessed Ye Chui’s power, his address for Ye Chui could not help but carry a respectful title.
“What, the victor was Ye Chui?”
“This is impossible. You must be talking nonsense. You just clearly said that Snake-Haired Yuren awakened Medusa’s power…”
“I am not talking nonsense. Even if Snake-Haired Yuren awakened Medusa’s power, he still was not Mr Ye Chui’s opponent.” The storyteller immediately said, “The victor is Mr Ye Chui. Why would I deceive you?”
“I do not believe it. This cannot be true!” Someone shouted in anger. He had bet his entire family fortune on Snake-Haired Yuren and had just been boasting to others about how he would make a fortune, perhaps even move into a new mansion. Now he had suffered a heavy blow.
“I also placed a bet on Snake-Haired Yuren earlier, but seeing Mr Ye Chui’s power, I lost this money willingly. You definitely cannot guess how Mr Ye Chui defeated Snake-Haired Yuren.” The storyteller said loudly.
“It must have been with some insidious scheme!” Someone said discontentedly. Because most people had bet on Snake-Haired Yuren, they felt somewhat displeased with the result of Ye Chui actually winning.
“No, Mr Ye Chui did not use any insidious scheme.” The storyteller wagged his finger, his eyes sweeping over those pairs of expectant eyes, “It turns out he is not only a magic mentor but also a summoner. When fighting Yuren, he summoned his heroic spirit, and that heroic spirit defeated Snake-Haired Yuren with just two punches.”
The crowd fell silent, and moments later someone exclaimed: “You are joking. Two punches!?”
“Correct, only two punches!”
The storyteller became even more delighted: “You just saw Dragon’s Nest Mountain collapse, right? That was caused by Mr Ye Chui. The second punch from his heroic spirit not only instantly shattered Snake-Haired Yuren into fragments, but the fist wind also struck Dragon’s Nest, shattering even the hard Dragon’s Nest Mountain… By the way, Dragon’s Nest Mountain’s dragon soul was also swallowed by Mr Ye Chui’s summoned giant dragon.”
The crowd: “…”
The winner was Ye Chui.
Dragon’s Nest Mountain was also shattered by Ye Chui.
Even the dragon soul was swallowed…
And just as the news of Ye Chui killing Snake-Haired Yuren with two punches rapidly spread throughout the imperial capital, new information followed closely from within the Red Fort:
What, Ye Chui is actually not the illegitimate son? His illegitimate son identity was actually impersonated!
He impersonated the illegitimate son because he accepted a mission commission from Prince Geller, and the real illegitimate son is actually that servant Jacob, who was previously wanted with only a bounty of fifty gold coins!?
And because of this seven-star mission, the Casual Names Magic Guild has now obtained five-star qualification!!!
Jacob has formally become the empire’s Thirteenth Prince!
Some people gathered outside the Red Fort. They saw Jacob being escorted by the Black Armoured Guards. Jacob had already woken up when leaving the Red Fort, and he was leaning against a girl, who was none other than the silly girl Danni from the Anduin family. The Anduin family head Hoyn was also by their side, looking smugly at the surroundings.
Thus, the crowd was shocked once more. The relationship between this Thirteenth Prince and the Anduin family was self-evident… Thinking of the five hundred thousand gold coins the Anduin family had won from Ye Chui, they all felt that the Anduin family was about to rise completely this time.
However, what surprised the crowd was not merely these events. Subsequently, Ye Chui and his group also left the Red Fort. Naturally, quite a few people followed them, these people seeming to have transformed into fervent fans. Everyone understood that from now on, the Casual Names Magic Guild, this guild with a very casual name, would become a powerful guild in the imperial capital that no one could ignore.
But what shocked everyone was that Ye Chui had clearly just gone through a major battle, yet he did not choose to return to his residence to rest. Amid the crowd’s surprised following, the five members of the Casual Names Magic Guild headed straight to the Skeleton Wanderer Magic Guild in the west of the city.
Guild Master Ye Chui punched open the iron gate of the Skeleton Wanderer Magic Guild.
The crowd stopped at the door, but they all heard Ye Chui’s voice transmitting from inside.
“No need for chit-chat. We are here to pick up our person!”
The Casual Names Magic Guild is challenging the Skeleton Wanderer Magic Guild!
…
“Deng deng deng, deng deng deng deng…”
Under the BGM of “Battle Without Honour or Humanity”, Ye Chui, Debbie, Lessa, Green, and Guni lined up and marched straight into the Skeleton Wanderer Magic Guild, stepping to the drumbeat. With the BGM’s enhancement, they all felt a surge of hot-blooded excitement and came with a self-buff of cool posing charisma, intuitively exuding the aura of the Black Society coming to the door for a brawl.
As an old-established magic guild in the Star Empire, Skeleton Wanderer possesses great reputation and pride. How could they be so easily provoked? Ye Chui smashing their iron gate earlier was already their shame, so one by one, guild members who heard the commotion rushed over to intercept.
Unfortunately, they soon fell on the paths of the guild’s gardens.
Green’s levitating brick was unpredictable in its changes, Guni’s fire ant giant sword was invincible wherever it went, Lessa’s holy word attacks were bizarre and unparalleled, Debbie’s krypton gold swordsman shadow was elusive, and Ye Chui… well, he only took care of walking in the middle and posing coolly. For dealing with small fry, how could he, the guild master, need to lift a finger?
The Skeleton Wanderer Magic Guild occupies a vast area, almost like an empty manor castle. Ye Chui and his group cut their way through, and after dealing with some guild small fry, several guild backbone members finally arrived and blocked Ye Chui and the others.
The Skeleton Wanderer Magic Guild is a five-star major guild. Unlike Ye Chui’s guild, which gives a haphazard impression, their guild has over a hundred members and a strict hierarchy. The small fry Ye Chui dealt with earlier were at best some ordinary members or cannon fodder responsible for guild security. The ones now appearing before Ye Chui and the others were the main force members of the guild.
Ye Chui could sense their strength. In the magic guide book’s integral value measurement, each of them possessed over fifty integral points.
Thus, Ye Chui stopped the BGM and swept his eyes over the crowd.
“Xi Le Si is our friend. We are here to pick her up.” Ye Chui stated his purpose simply and clearly.
The Skeleton Wanderer members’ expressions all showed surprise. Of course they knew who the person before them was and had learned of the recent events. In fact, some of them had been at the scene earlier observing that martial trial and had personally witnessed Ye Chui killing Snake-Haired Yuren with two punches. Their hearts were still in shock, wondering why Ye Chui had come to them. Could it be that they wanted to establish prestige in the imperial capital?
New magic guilds, when wanting to set up branches in other cities, usually choose to do something to build fame. This is a common practice. When the Skeleton Wanderer Magic Guild opens branches in other cities, they usually wipe out several two or three-star guilds in one go to gain prestige. But now Ye Chui was facing them, a five-star guild.
Using a five-star guild to establish prestige? How could that be possible! Only now, hearing Ye Chui’s words, did they understand that Ye Chui had come for Xi Le Si, that woman who brought endless shame to their magic guild! Of course, this might just be an excuse, and the real purpose was still to establish prestige.
Xi Le Si had once joined Skeleton Wanderer but severely injured their guild master… well, burned off the master’s life root. This had once become a laughingstock throughout the entire imperial capital. Now that Xi Le Si had fallen back into their hands, how could they possibly let this woman leave easily?
They just did not expect that this Xi Le Si was actually Ye Chui’s friend? They all felt it somewhat tricky…
“You want to take Xi Le Si away? That is impossible!”
A somewhat sinister voice seemed to transmit from all directions. Then, a black mist drifted over, rapidly condensing into a human shape. It was the figure of a man wearing a skull mask, draped in a black robe, with the Skeleton Guild totem embroidered on his chest. He was precisely the master of the Skeleton Wanderer Magic Guild.
He rarely shows his true face and likes to wear a skull mask on his face, thus earning the nickname Skeleton Wanderer. It was also because of this name that he established the Skeleton Wanderer Magic Guild!
His name is Reyes.
And he is an extremely terrifying necromancy magic mentor.
Necromancy is a fused magic attribute, formed by the fusion of dark system and life system!
Ye Chui had long ago asked Prince Geller to investigate Reyes’s information for him, knowing what kind of trump cards he had. But now seeing his appearance, Ye Chui still felt a very strange sensation surge up in his heart for an instant. He immediately said to his little companions beside him: “Be careful of his ultimate move later. He will continuously attack towards the surroundings and shout ‘dead’ ‘dead’ from his mouth.”
The others: “?”
“Oh, I was joking. Do not take it seriously.” Ye Chui hurriedly continued.
“You have chosen the wrong target to establish prestige under the emperor!” At this time, Reyes said in a hoarse voice, “We will not return Xi Le Si to you!”
“It does not matter.” Ye Chui smiled at Reyes, “If you do not exchange her back to us, then we will rob her back.”
Reyes’s body trembled slightly. He was wearing a mask, so his expression was unclear, but he must now be showing an extremely furious look: “Ye Chui, do not bully others too much. I was also at the scene of your earlier great battle with Yuren, but attacks of that level you cannot possibly use again immediately. Moreover, your attacks are useless against my necromancy magic!”
“You were also on Dragon’s Nest just now?” Ye Chui was slightly stunned, “If I had known that, I should have taken you out together back then.” These words made Reyes’s body tremble again. Ye Chui guessed that this time he felt afraid. Ye Chui then changed his tone, “But you are not wrong. I cannot use attacks like that again in a short time, but what does that matter? I am quite interested to see what your necromancy magic is like.”
“Good, good. Today I will let you see my necromancy magic. Ye Chui, you are too arrogant. Your greatest mistake is coming to my territory. I will let you see the power of Skeleton Wanderer. I will harvest your life!” While saying these words, Reyes raised both hands high. His magic guide book floated before him, a purple-covered magic guide book with pages flipping rustlingly.
Accompanying his casting of some magic, the surrounding air seemed to suddenly stagnate, and the sky also became a few shades gloomier.
“The master is going to cast that terrifying magic!” The other members of the Skeleton Wanderer Guild shouted in fear one after another, dodging to the side.
Ye Chui’s side also gathered together, showing vigilant expressions.
Advanced necromancy magic: 【Necromancy Great Summon!】
Waves of ghostly wails and wolf howls suddenly crawled out from underground, continuously drifting towards Ye Chui’s side.
Ye Chui had long learned from Prince Geller that the place where the Skeleton Wanderer Magic Guild was established was once a massive graveyard. It is said that an unknown number of tens of thousands of souls were buried here. Such a place, others would not dare reside here at all, but it is the most favoured location for necromancy magic mentors.
Reyes himself is a powerful magic mentor, and in this place, his strength is doubled. He can easily summon thousands or tens of thousands of undead. Outside, he might fear Ye Chui’s power, but on his own turf, he considers himself invincible!
Ye Chui and his group are simply sheep entering a wolf pack, walking right into the trap!
However, Ye Chui does not see it that way…
It was precisely because he knew about Reyes’s 【Necromancy Great Summon】 that he was so eager to come here to rescue Xi Le Si.
To deal with undead, he has a unique BGM. The music of grave-dancing disco followed and rang out.
Ye Chui stood in the very middle, with Green, Debbie, and the others surrounding him. Then those approaching undead began to involuntarily sway their dance poses, starting to dance… It was indeed living up to the name of grave-dancing disco. And while dancing, they ascended to heaven.
“You can actually purify undead?” Seeing this scene, Reyes was somewhat surprised, but he soon revealed a cold laugh, “But I want to see whether your purification speed is faster or my summoning speed!”
He urged his magic power, and thus more and more undead began to crawl out of the ground one after another.
In an instant, the Skeleton Wanderer Magic Guild was like hell descending. Undead wailed, spiralling and flying. Such anomalies could even be clearly perceived from other places in the imperial capital. A terrifying chill was spreading from the guild. The people gathered outside the guild all shivered!
And with more and more undead gathering, the grave-dancing disco music indeed began to show some strain. More and more undead broke free of the restraint and approached Ye Chui and the others.
Lessa hurriedly cast 【Holy Retort】【I Will Superdegree You, Motherfucker】 and other holy words for defence. Guni, Debbie, Green, and their attacks were basically ineffective against undead.
“Guild master, what do we do?” Green hurriedly looked to Ye Chui for help.
“Hmm, there are indeed many undead here. Do not worry. I knew long ago that 【Pure Land of Bliss】 could not handle them, so I prepared a new BGM.” Ye Chui explained. He had made preparations yesterday. He thought of a BGM related to undead and had prepared to unlock it long ago, but because he worried about not having enough integrals for the battle with Snake-Haired Yuren, he had delayed until now.
The grave-dancing disco music abruptly stopped. The undead instantly rioted, but were temporarily blocked by Lessa’s 【I Will Superdegree You, Motherfucker】. Then, a somewhat calm and serene melody rang out.
At the same time, Ye Chui began to chant a certain chuunibyou poem in a language incomprehensible to the others (divine script):
“Dead undead ah
Are you also waiting for dawn
That bell tolls once more
Can you hear that shriek echoing by your ear
Can you feel the soul crying out
Suddenly awaken
Look, that fleeting frost chill at the horizon
Can you see the unchanging darkness like clouds
Bloodshed is spreading
The death of the undead
For whom the bell tolls!!!”
When he chanted “for whom the bell tolls”, the serene movement suddenly became intense. Urgent drumbeats fiercely struck. The next moment, the ground suddenly surged. More undead were summoned forth. The difference was that these undead were not summoned by Reyes, but by Ye Chui’s BGM. Their numbers were evidently greater, and they came with a hot-blooded buff. Just as they appeared, they swiftly pounced towards the undead summoned by Reyes!
Reyes’s face showed shock and anger: “You… you actually understand necromancy magic too. No, impossible!”
“Do you think Almighty Magic Mentor is a casual title?” Green shouted happily.
More and more undead were summoned forth. They gathered by Ye Chui and the others’ side and began to press forward unceasingly towards Reyes’s undead!
The new BGM unlocked by Ye Chui is called “Requiem for the Undead”. It is originally a movie score, but was adapted into the theme song for World of Warcraft and renamed Requiem for the Undead. It became famous because of this name. The version unlocked by Ye Chui is the pure music score, but the chuunibyou poem he chanted in his mouth was specially written by someone on the internet of that other world for this BGM. Though chanting it gives an explosive chuunibyou feel, it is also exceptionally cool and flashy.
One Requiem for the Undead, and myriad undead swarm out in full force!
