21st Century Necromancer-Chapter 529 - 525: Breaking Through Legendary (Seeking Monthly Tickets, Seeking Subscriptions)

Smashed to the ground by Jounouchi Hiromi, it appeared that Chen Yu had indeed lost, but for Chen Yu, who had already mastered the divinity of the Underworld Feather Angel, such minor damage wasn't even enough to warm up.

However, seeing the change in Jounouchi Hiromi's aura as she made a breakthrough, Chen Yu felt that conceding defeat was no big deal.

He retracted his pair of black wings, and the Runes armor and sword on his body also transformed into ordinary clothing, as Chen Yu stood before Jounouchi Hiromi.

Watching her momentum soar, and then, as if it were the most natural progression or as effortlessly as water flows into a channel, she directly broke through the Legendary Boundary, stepping from Sub-Legendary into the true Legendary Realm.

The blood-colored tornado that had originally gathered in the sky was also absorbed by Jounouchi Hiromi, instantly clearing away the bloody color that had filled the Necromantic Space just moments ago, restoring it to its original state. After absorbing the power of the blood tornado, Jounouchi Hiromi's originally blue Dragon Scale Armor began to seep blood from its cracks, quickly turning the armor from blue to blood red almost in the blink of an eye.

Yet when this blood turned Jounouchi Hiromi's armor to the color of blood red, after a brief pause, it was all shaken off and scattered into the air, seemingly dissipating. However, Chen Yu could clearly feel that the blood, still shaken off, continued to shroud around Jounouchi Hiromi's body, evolving into her Legendary Realm.

"What's happening to me…?" Jounouchi Hiromi, feeling the changes within herself, seemed to just realize what had taken place.

"Just now, you were overwhelmed by my aura and temporarily had your reason overtaken by the ferocity in your bloodline. However, this misfortune turned out to be a blessing as it fully awakened the potential of your Dragon Bloodline, and you've broken through the threshold of Legendary," Xiao Lan, naturally most aware of Jounouchi Hiromi's changes, started to explain.

Hearing Xiao Lan's explanation, Jounouchi Hiromi's eyes widened in disbelief that she had actually broken through the threshold of Legendary.

Seeing the surprised look on Jounouchi Hiromi's face, Chen Yu smiled at her and said, "What, can't believe you're a Legendary Warrior now?"

With that said by Chen Yu, Jounouchi Hiromi, somewhat embarrassedly, reverted from her Half-Dragon form and hopped down from Xiao Lan's back: "I just feel like it was a little too easy."

"For the giant dragon race, adult individuals can even break through to Legendary while sleeping. You have the bloodline of a Pureblood Giant Dragon, and Xiao Lan herself was a Legendary Dragon, so there's really nothing surprising about your breakthrough," Chen Yu wasn't surprised at all.

The Dragon Clan is truly one of the most favored races in the Multiverse, with powerful individuals leading to some dragons possessing legendary strength right at birth, and adults capable of contending with True Gods—breaking through Legendary is really not a big deal.

"Indeed, you absorbed most of the essence of life from my original body, which itself was enough to push you into the Legendary rank based on your accumulated power. Previously, you just hadn't released your potential. Now, after the recent battle, you have completely unleashed your power, making the breakthrough to Legendary rank a matter of course," Xiao Lan explained as well, and she transformed back into the form of a cat.

For her, moving around a bit just now was a rare moment of relaxation, so after she returned to her cat form, Xiao Lan stretched herself with a yawn.

"Alright... I thought breaking through to Legendary rank would be as complicated and troublesome as the Crimson Empress's Promotion Ceremony. I didn't expect it to be so simple!" Jounouchi Hiromi said a little regrettably as she held Xiao Lan in her arms, her armor reverting back to clothes.

"If we go by what you said, Hiromi, in order for me, as a Necromancer, to break through to Legendary rank, I'd have to turn myself into a Lich first! Now I have broken through to Legendary all the same, and does that make me a Demigod now?" Chen Yu said with a smile, while also feeling the various capabilities and changes of his body that had transformed into an Underworld Feather Angel.

"There's still a gap between a Divine Creature and a Demigod, right?" Jounouchi Hiromi walked with Chen Yu towards the castle, stroking Xiao Lan's fur, and curiously asked Chen Yu.

"There is indeed a gap, but overall, an Underworld Feather Angel, a Divine Creature specifically developed for combat, is different from ordinary Divine Creatures. In terms of fighting strength, it's not much less than that of an average Demigod. After all, the Underworld Feather Angel was created by Necromancers primarily to combat Godly Abominations. If they weren't effective in battle, why would Necromancers bother creating them?" Chen Yu explained to Jounouchi Hiromi. As the greatest creation of the Necromancy School, the Underworld Feather Angel indeed possessed the strength to contend with a Demigod.

"Really?" Jounouchi Hiromi showed a skeptical look, glancing back at the large hole Chen Yu had created on the ground and asked with distrust, "Then how come you still lost to me just now?"

"What just happened could only be considered a warm-up, hardly a fight. It was mainly to awaken your senses. Plus, do you really think you won, Hiromi?" Chen Yu responded, while slightly releasing the formidable presence he had been concealing, which immediately made Jounouchi Hiromi feel the overwhelming pressure that once forced her to her knees.

However, Jounouchi Hiromi, now at the Legendary rank herself, found the pressure that had previously been irresistible much more manageable, and she hummed defiantly, "Anyway, you still lost just now!"

Faced with Jounouchi Hiromi's retort, Chen Yu could only retract his aura and surrendered with a smile, "Okay, okay, I lost!"

However, beyond his concession, Chen Yu still reminded Jounouchi Hiromi, "Hiromi, you've only moved up to Legendary by bringing out the hidden potential of your own bloodline, so your class is still that of a Blood Knight, not the Crimson Empress. It's like how I'm still a Necromancer and not a Lich. To truly become a Legendary Class, you still need to complete a Promotion Ceremony for your class, so keep that in mind."

Hearing Chen Yu mention this, Jounouchi Hiromi couldn't help taking it seriously and nodded at him, "I understand, I'll pay attention to that. But Mr. Chen Yu, you also know that the Promotion Ceremony for the Crimson Empress is a very complicated matter. The ceremony for becoming a Lich must be just as troublesome, right?"

"A Lich? No, I don't plan to become a Lich. I'm considering another path for advancing from Necromancer. Besides, I want to skip Legendary and go straight for a Demigod class promotion." While becoming a Lich was a common advancement path for a Necromancer, it did not mean that it was the only option.
