And in this world, necromancy wasn’t much different from how it was depicted in many novels in his previous life.
It could indeed manipulate the dead.
However, manipulating the dead was only one of its manifestations.
True necromancy was magic that “subverted death.”
As the name suggested, it could subvert the concept of death, not only manipulating the dead but also anything related to death.
Once, a magician who cultivated necromancy transformed himself into an undead creature and led millions of undead mummies, causing great damage to the continent.
In the end, the necromancer’s actions completely enraged Anima, the Goddess of Life, who descended and personally vanquished him.
Since then, necromancy became the ultimate forbidden magic, not only tabooed by the world but also strictly forbidden for any race to practice or even possess necromantic grimoires.
Therefore, necromancy had been completely lost and no longer existed.
It wasn’t like Celestial Magic, which was gradually lost due to its difficulty and lack of practitioners, and thus sealed away.
Although Celestial Magic was also once lost, its grimoires still remained in this world and were immediately collected by the Kingdom after being discovered.
Necromancy, on the other hand, was completely forbidden, its grimoires ordered to be burned and not passed down, a truly taboo magic.
Not to mention the Kingdom’s underground magic library, even in any corner of the human world, one couldn’t find a necromantic grimoire.
Even the Demon Realm was no exception. Although the Six Demon Lords didn’t explicitly forbid it, they had declared that necromancy shouldn’t be practiced.
Because of this, necromancy had disappeared for thousands of years.
Shien never expected to encounter a necromancer here, and one who had even maxed out necromancy and become a Legendary-level expert.
If this person’s existence were exposed, they would definitely be hunted down by various countries and races, even by the God Race. There would be no place for them in this world.
Only a place like this, hidden from the sun, could accommodate such a person.
Limgir stood before this Grand Necromancer, his coldness replaced by respect, bowing as he spoke.
“I’ve already taken people to investigate, High Priest.” Limgir said respectfully, “However, we haven’t found anything unusual.”
Hearing this, the necromancer, called the High Priest, seemed to raise their head.
“Haven’t found anything unusual?” The High Priest’s raspy voice echoed, carrying an indescribable sense of horror, “Are you sure?”
“Y… yes…” A hint of fear appeared in Limgir’s respectful tone.
Clearly, this young master, who had just acted so arrogant and ruthless, was afraid of this so-called High Priest.
That was natural.
He had witnessed this High Priest instantly drain the blood of a knight in front of everyone, turning him into a mummy, a puppet under their control, and then feeding him to their “pet” as a snack.
Therefore, Limgir was indeed afraid of this High Priest.
Moreover, this High Priest was the highest authority here, a trusted confidant of the Imperial Consort, with the power to dispose of anyone here as they pleased.
When he was first brought here, Limgir had also thought of resisting, but under the suppression of this terrifying being, he ultimately succumbed to fear and submitted.
The High Priest didn’t know what Limgir was thinking.
Nor did she care.
She only cared about one thing.
“How could there be nothing unusual?” The High Priest murmured as if talking to herself, “My [Corridor of Death] clearly reacted, sensing the aura of a living person, and it’s within the barrier. There can’t be a mistake.”
So, the reason Limgir led the search was because the High Priest’s magic detected the aura of a living person outside.
As a necromancer, the High Priest was very sensitive to both death and life energy.
Logically, since there was the aura of a living person, they should have found something.
The High Priest fell silent, reaching out to the crystal ball in front of her.
Seeing this, Shien had a bad feeling.
