Circe looked around alarmed, one moment she sensed an impressive amount of mana for a mortal the next he was overflowing with mana. Though that isn't what made her nervous, it was the tithe of undead below her.

The ground slowly turned to sand as shapes rose out of it.

"I have defied death and laid the gods low. I am the master of Nehekhara, and all that it contains." Y/N spoke, though his voice sounded like a haunting desert wind. His normal pure royal blue eyes were now hauntingly green. "My knowledge shall never be used by gods, so come and be another body for me to raise."

Circe didn't immediately move, instead choosing to stare at Y/N and the dozen ushabti that were rose. What made it worse, she could feel something else trying to raise itself from the ground. She could feel the mana rolling off of him, but it was dreadful and dark. Almost like a god of the undead stood before her. Behind her Perse and Annabeth were reminded of when they met Hades, but the feeling Y/N gave off was more domineering.

Circe broke herself out her thoughts and with a simple snap rose magical shields all around her guest, making a makeshift arena with her and Y/N with his Ushabti. "Who are you?"

"Your slayer." Y/N raised his arm, "Kill them all."

Circe's eyes widened and she lit flames above her palms and they shot forth looking like a weave as they encompassed the ushabti that were nearest. She noted that they were somewhat magic resistant, but she didn't let that stop her as she increased the flames' heat making them burn blue. The first six Ushabti crumbled, clattering to the ground, while the last six went straight for Circe. Katherine trying to act quickly attempted to freeze two of the ushabti, however she couldnt get her magic past the barrier Circe erected. Meanwhile Circe gave four of the remaining the same treatment as the first six.

The last two however got to Circe and her eyes widened. One quickly sliced at her thigh making golden blood spray across the ground as it made a clean cut. 

The second one tried slicing her neck, but luckily for her she made her staff appear and block the crescent blade just as it was about to pass over her shoulder. With a great blast of magic she sent the two Ushabti across the arena, impacting harshly against the magic barrier.

She stared at Y/N who had amusement in his foul iridescent green eyes. "So you can defend yourself on a basic level, however poorly."

Behind Crice she could hear Annabeth, Perse and Katherine pounding against the barrier but she nor Y/N seemed to pay it any mind.

"Who are you?" Circe demanded, she realized the one before her was no longer the boy concerned for his friends.

Y/N seemed uninterested in her as he flicked through the Tome of Fate. "I already gave the only answer your pathetic mind could bear."

The ground started to crack open and a colossal skeletal hand rose from it. The ground cracked as it tried to free itself from the earth.

Circe threw a force of pure magic at the skeletal hand which resisted the magic, but cracked a little. On the other side of the crack another hand came and together despite Circe's efforts its upper half was freed from the entombing earth.

Circe froze as she stared realizing one thing. It wasn't one solid colassal skeleton but rather an amalgamation of many.

A chuckle sounding like a dark pits howl came and she looked at Y/N, "What is that?"

"Behold, the fury of the corpses you made."

That's when another thing clicked, the amalgamation colossus stared at her and only her.
