Sorceress - Chapter 288

It has been over a decade already when Schoolmaster Yin’s clandestine past was made known by another soul.

Since he made sure to put every single person who learned about his dark secret in silence. Including the only woman that he loved the most.

Unbeknownst to anyone, not even to his closest friend, that Schoolmaster Yin is actually a practitioner of the forbidden art of Necromancy.

Others would have thought that he was just touching the basics of soul arts out of curiosity. But the truth is, this was his field of specialty.

He had been learning the art of Necromancy from a very young age.

And he never stopped studying it. Even after he got abolished in his practice of Necromancy, while he was still in his apprenticeship period.

Yin Shun, or more commonly known as Schoolmaster Yin is just like any other normal warlocks before. During his time, Necromancy was is not yet forbidden.

In fact, Necromancy was even the most lucrative way of learning magic. Because necromancers were highly sought, due to their unique ability to communicate with souls and bridge the worlds of the dead and the living.

It was for this same reason, that the young Yin Shun was enticed in studying Necromancy. So at the young age of nine, he already started his apprenticeship.

The Schoolmaster Yin was hard to come by genius during his time. He really had a knack in the art of Necromancy.

As such, he was able to make a reputation for himself even before he became an official necromancer.

Which in result,  attracted more attention towards him. Many admired him for his talents back then. But of course, admirers and haters always come hand in hand.

So if the young Yin Shun had many admirers back then, it only goes to say that he also had the same number of haters.

During his last year of apprenticeship, he had a chance encounter with a talking oak tree that was hidden in one of the ancient domains that he ventured.

This was the same talking oak tree that was now serving as one of the school guardians at Magus Academia.

Schoolmaster Yin planted him in the middle of the Enchanted Forest during his inauguration as the new schoolmaster of the school

From the talking ok tree, Schoolmaster Yin learned about an old prophecy regarding the end of the world.

Being young and wild, Schoolmaster Yin really had a very adventurous nature. So he instantly developed an affinity towards the talking oak tree as soon as he met it.

Especially because he can learn a lot of secrets from the talking oak tree which in return made him more powerful.

But the more he became powerful, the more he craves for more. Until it slowly became his obsession.

Before he knew it, he was already addicted to the pursuit of power.

From there, he started furthering his knowledge hoping to discover a way on how he could defy heaven.

He wanted to be the most powerful warlock to exist in this world.

But knowing that he would be limited by his mortal life, Schoolmaster Yin started to focus first in developing a magic spell that can help him prolong his life.

That is when and he started his research about ‘life extension’

But it was also at that time that  Schoolmaster Yin’s life started to turn upside down.

Right before he could say goodbye to his apprenticeship and become a full pledge necromancer, he finally perfected his research about life extension.

It was through using someone else lifeline and putting it to another person to extend its life.

Lifeline pertains to the lines that can be seen in one’s palm.

As someone whose specialty lies in soul arts, necromancers had the ability to estimate how long a man can live.

All they have to do is to have a look at one’s palm, and they can already read it from there.

In Schoolmaster Yin’s research of ‘life extension’, he was able to perfect a black spell that will allow him to transfer one’s life to someone else.

By means of utilizing those ‘lifelines’

To conduct this so-called ‘life extension’

He must first require a living ‘donor’ of the lifeline.

Then using a sharp dagger, he will have to literally carve out those lifelines from his donor. While chanting a specific black spell that he invented.

Then after taking the lifeline from his donor, he will have to sew it to his ‘recipient’. In which, the recipient has to be someone who was close to dying.

After that successful bloody operation, the remaining life of the donor will be suck out from its body and it will be transferred to the recipient.

Creating the impression that the life of the recipient had been extended.

Imagine how many lives had been used as a guinea pig before Schoolmaster Yin was able to perfect this research of his.

It was precisely for this reason, that Schoolmaster Yin was expelled from studying the art of Necromancy.

Many had condemned his action of taking someone else’s life as a mere subject for his research.

They view that Schoolmaster Yin’s life extension research as a depraved act and it should not be passed down to later generations.

That is why, Schoolmaster Yin was the first apprentice necromancer to get expelled in the history of necromancer. He had been shamed because of that.

From being a proud genius, he was looked down and treated no better than a spit.

But this actually works to his advantage.

Because right after he was abolished from his apprenticeship, the Great War of Magi broke out which in the end resulted from the annihilation of the entire practitioners of Necromancy.

At the same time, Necromancy became a forbidden practice. Everyone who was seen practicing anything related to necromancy was being sentenced to death.

Necromancers participated in the Great War of Magi but they joined hands with the creatures of the dark. In the end, they were defeated.

The sorceresses and warlocks that participated  on that war, saw how the necromancers utilized vile methods of using soul arts and summoning the dead to fight with them

They also witnessed the depraved act of life extension. Because most of the necromancers that joined the war during that time supports Schoolmaster Yin’s research.

Life extension plays a vital role in why the new mage community decided to obliterate the necromancers once and for all.

Little did they now that the actual proprietor of that wicked magic spell is still set on a loose and was not punished in the least.

The young Yin Shun tried his best to hide his identity as an apprentice necromancer which does not seemed to be hard for him.

Considering that he was able to hide this secret up until now and he even became a well-respected figure in the mage community

More than that, he was also able to make a name for himself and become one of the principals of a prestigious school of magic. Which is the Magus Academia.
