21st Century Necromancer-Chapter 264 - 261: The Dragon’s Daughter
```
Having acquired a physique that could rival a giant dragon, this greatly enhanced Jounouchi Hiromi’s perception of the world, as well as the novelty of gaining power.
Originally, Jounouchi Hiromi was just an ordinary person, an extremely ordinary female doctor. Although she wasn’t too ordinary in her profession, she didn’t show anything beyond ordinary human cognition. The same was true even though she was a very handsome girl who liked other girls during her high school days.
But once she had gained the power and physique of a giant dragon, she was no longer ordinary.
Through the dragon symbiotically linked with her own soul, she clearly knew how powerful her body was at the moment.
Not to mention that the vast Essence of Life she acquired from the dragon’s body could extend her lifespan to hundreds of years, just the fact that her hair had become harder than steel was apparent when she tried to cut a small lock of it with scissors last night, and the scissors notched.
As for trying to cut her finger with a paper cutter, the blade chipped instead and could only leave a white mark on her finger, making Jounouchi Hiromi realize she now possessed a defensive power comparable to a giant dragon’s.
Because she had acquired the extraordinary physique of a giant dragon, Jounouchi Hiromi also gained several supernatural powers that belonged to dragon-kind. The ability to manipulate lightning, brought by the Blue Dragon Bloodline, allowed her to control lightning and use Breath like a dragon.
This made Jounouchi Hiromi quietly remind herself to be careful when sneezing in the future to control her power, or else a sneeze might turn into a lightning storm.
The extraordinary vision of dragon-kind, True Vision, and dark vision, also made her already charming large eyes even more enchanting. The fact that Chen Yu almost lost his mind to her eyes’ Charm ability last night proved that one look from these eyes was enough to make ordinary people obey.

Fortunately, this ability was controllable, otherwise Jounouchi Hiromi felt she might have to wear sunglasses every day to go out.
In addition, Jounouchi Hiromi did not try abilities such as Dragonic Language, Dragon Might, or Dragon Transformation. She who still couldn’t control her power well now relied on the symbiotic giant dragon sleeping within her to restrain these powers. She herself needed a long time to learn and train to control these powers.
However, aside from that, Jounouchi Hiromi also gained stamina and endurance far beyond that of ordinary people, as well as a half-dragon form with dragon characteristics like Dragon Horn, Dragon Wing, and Dragon Tail. These allowed her and Chen Yu to practice horsemanship together all through the previous night.
As for the outcome... come morning only a radiant Jounouchi Hiromi showed up for work, while Chen Yu called in sick for the day, citing a cold.
————————————————————————
Sitting in her office, Jounouchi Hiromi, having finished her work, took out her Dragonhide Book and began flipping through it on her lap.
```
Unlike the title of Chen Yu’s "Multiverse Universal Necromancy Spell Compendium," her book, with its blue dragon skin cover and mithril magic lock, was called "Crimson Hymn." It wasn’t as verbose and rigid as the "Multiverse Universal Necromancy Spell Compendium," because it didn’t speak at all.
All the explanations were provided through the giant dragon that lay dormant within Hiromi Jounouchi’s body.
This was somewhat inconvenient. After all, if her companion giant dragon was asleep, the book would have no voice mode and could only display text and images.
However, this didn’t prevent Hiromi Jounouchi from using it. It was merely a lack of audio narration, which she could accept.
By reading "Crimson Hymn," she had figured out why this book had a different title from Chen Yu’s.
Indeed, when Necromancers and Death Knights took their vows, they all received a similar item. But since she chose the path of a Blood Knight, she received "Crimson Hymn," as female Blood Knights could advance to become Twilight Knights and then ascend to the legendary Crimson Empress. Hence, the book they received was called "Crimson Hymn."
As for male Blood Knights, they too could become Twilight Knights, but their ascension wasn’t to become the Crimson Empress but the Scarlet Lord. The book they could get was named "Scarlet Ritual."
Because Chen Yu was a Necromancer, the language in his "Multiverse Universal Necromancy Spell Compendium" was Necromantic Language. Initially, "Crimson Hymn" would have been in the same language, but since Chen Yu used a giant dragon as a sacrifice to help her take her vows, the language in the book changed to Dragonic Language.
The book itself was also influenced by the power of the giant dragon, adding a section about the dragon’s legacy.
Why she could obtain this legacy, and why such a book would form after the initiation ceremony, was also recorded in the book.
This content especially intrigued Hiromi Jounouchi; it mentioned the magnificent and sprawling Multiverse, the astounding Necromancer predecessors within the Multiverse, and also a great Necromancy Series deity who created the Necromancy School. This deity offered their divinity and knowledge in a contract with the Endless Styx that transcends the Multiverse.
As long as the Nether River flowed, anyone studying necromancy, willing to abide by the deity’s contract, could receive the legacy by dedicating their knowledge back to the river upon their own return to the Styx.
It was with this Necromancy Series deity that one Necromancer after another merged their wisdom and knowledge with the great deity’s legacy. After countless years, it eventually led to the formation of the Eight Great Necromancy Schools within the Multiverse. Anyone abiding by the original deity’s contract could study the knowledge and receive the legacy from the Eight Schools.
Reading about this Necromancy Series deity, who sacrificed their life immortal as the Multiverse itself, moved Hiromi Jounouchi as well. She had a new understanding of the great legacy she had received.

Of course, actually obtaining this legacy wasn’t an easy matter. While the book did mention the secrets involved, Hiromi Jounouchi hadn’t yet read deeply. She was fascinated by the history of the Necromancers recorded in "Crimson Hymn," but it was still quite a challenge as she had only a basic grasp of Dragonic Language.
Besides, compared to historical legends, she was more concerned with how to master her own powers. She couldn’t always rely on her companion giant dragon to control and restrain her powers, could she? Otherwise, when she wanted to be with Chen Yu at night, would she have to be fully armed and transform into a Half-Dragon?
