The necromancer just wants to plant trees.

Chapter 442: Fire Coverage and Ancient City Patrol

……

Leon, who was turned into a goat, was about to be further attacked by Matthew.

crucial moment.

Little Ingram, who was also teleported, stood up.

He quickly mobilized some nearby water elements and surrounded Matthew as quickly as possible!

These elemental lives gather very quickly.

In the blink of an eye.

They surrounded Matthew and Leon so tightly that they couldn't get through.

In this regard.

Matthew remained calm.

He held down one of the goat's horns with one hand and raised the other hand holding the Spear of the Sun high.

After a short chant of the spell.

As soon as the water elements approached him, they felt an unprecedented fear!
"Spell: Blood evaporates"!
All enemies within a spherical range of thirty meters centered on Matthew will face the judgment of having their blood forcibly extracted!

This spell is scary enough for ordinary people.

But for the water element whose whole body is filled with water.

This is their natural enemy!

Almost as soon as the magic fluctuation occurred, the sensitive water element retreated.

But it was obviously too late.

The effect of the moment of sacrifice is still there, and Matthew's spell power is still explosive!
Pale red ripples spread out from Matthew.

In the horrified eyes of everyone.

All the water elements evaporated on the spot in the blink of an eye!
"No!"

Little Ingram's eyes instantly became bloodshot!

Although these water elements are not as precious as the elemental elders, they are also the result of his hard work.

Before this.

He had never suffered such a huge loss, and this loss happened in an instant, and he had no time to make up for it!

The only news that comforted him was.

The blood evaporation released by Matthew also attacked Leon who was in goat state.

With the latter's physical fitness, of course, he survived the fatal judgment.

at the same time.

He also suffered magical damage from the evaporation of his blood, which was not fatal, but was enough to free him from the malicious transformation!

Leon changed from a goat into a human form. He rolled on the ground and put two or three meters between himself and Matthew.

Matthew, holding the Sun God Spear, was about to chase him.

Leon stepped back nervously - and then he felt ashamed of his instinctive reaction!
"I'm a hunter, why should I retreat after being closely guarded by a mage?"

Li Ang felt confused and felt that there was something wrong with his cognition and instincts.

As a legendary archer, he is indeed proficient in archery.

But at the same time.

He is also an excellent animal trainer and hunter, and his close combat ability is quite strong.

Even though everyone has his own expertise, Leon has always believed that his close combat skills are no worse than those of ordinary legendary warriors.

Don't know why.

When Matthew walked towards him with a weapon in his hand.

He actually felt an unprecedented sense of oppression!

The feeling of oppression was so suffocating.

It was as if the small animals in the mountains had encountered their natural enemies.

Leon hesitated.

Reason told him that the opponent, a mage, was seeking death by getting close to him, and he should draw his knife and chop him hard;

But the hunter instinct that had saved him countless times kept denying his rationality.

His legs were shaking.

His sixth sense was asking him to give up everything, even his face, and run away!

"Damn it, why am I running..."

Li Ang's expression was uncertain. He quickly bent down and pulled out a dagger from his boot, wanting to compete with Matthew.

But at this moment.

Little Ingram's call came again:
"go!"

"Hurry up, Leon, take Aldessia with you!"

at the same time.

Little Ingram also fired an elemental arrow from a distance to delay Matthew's actions.

Hear this.

A hint of impatience appeared on Li Ang's face:

"Got it, old lady!"

He secretly breathed a sigh of relief in his heart and felt somewhat grateful to little Ingram.

Finally there are stairs to go down.

Although this guy often regards himself as a leader, which makes people feel uncomfortable, he is still somewhat useful at critical moments...

Think so.

A powerful force suddenly burst out from Li Ang's waist, and his figure quickly retreated in an instant. During this process, a series of afterimages even appeared in the original place!
「Legendary Ability: Tactical Retreat」!
"You still want to run away when I'm close to you?"

Matthew snorted coldly, raised his free hand slightly, and a strange tombstone appeared under his feet.

Under the gaze of astonished eyes.

Matthew stepped on the tombstone and crashed into Leon who was retreating at lightning speed!
To know.

Tactical retreat is a legendary archer's escape ability specifically designed to evacuate the battlefield.

What matters is the speed and the strong deceptiveness.

But Matthew was not bothered by the afterimages at all. The tombstones on the ground raised clouds of dust, and each man and each tombstone pointed directly at Leon who was retreating.

In a blink of an eye.

Matthew was almost touching Leon's nose!

"Grass!"

Being attacked again, the legendary archer couldn't help but curse loudly, but the opponent's force was so great that he could only hold his head with both hands, curl up and take a defensive posture on the spot.

boom!
After a muffled sound.

Matthew's tombstone hit Leon's curled calf, and at that moment, he even heard the sound of a bone breaking!

The tombstone knocked Leon far away.

He stumbled and tried to get up, but a shadow appeared before his eyes.

He raised his head subconsciously.

then.

Then I saw a pair of empty and terrifying eyes!

"Spell: Mind-catching Gaze"!
"No, no, no..."

"I'm not afraid of you, I'm exempt!"

An unprecedented feeling of fear surged into Leon's heart. At this moment, he finally realized how terrifying the necromancer in front of him was!
now.

There was a faint glow all over Matthew.

His eye sockets were empty, like terrifying black holes, and similar black hole areas appeared on the edges of his robes, making him look like the god of death who was taking lives!
Being affected by the fear of the captivating gaze.

The elemental creatures nearby who wanted to come forward to help Leon stopped.

Leon's own phase hounds fled in all directions after being glared at by Matthew.

Fear spread like a tide and solidified like a substance.

Li Ang only felt that the surroundings were quiet and he could not hear any sound. It seemed that even the sound was frightened by the necromancer in front of him and no longer dared to make even the slightest noise.

Affected by fear.

His thoughts became sticky and sluggish.

next moment.

He suddenly realized that it was not that there was no sound around him, but that he himself——

I can't hear you!

"I am sick……"

An unprecedented sense of panic filled Li Ang's heart, and his heart was beating violently, as if it was about to jump out.

He tried hard to calm it all down.

But Matthew's face with eyes like black holes was deeply engraved in his mind like a brand.

He must endure fear and weakness all the time!
……

“Hint: You used “Mind-catching Gaze” to control “Dawn Star Leon”.

You forced Li Ang into a "sick" state!
At present, Li Ang has the following "illness" symptoms:
-
Weakness and fatigue
-
Dry mouth;
-
Heartbeat;-
Completely deaf;"

……

Matthew maintained the spell calmly.

While observing the movements of the others, he walked towards the weak Leon again.

Without help, Leon would have died long ago.

But Ingram's group still seemed quite united. Although they had just lost so many water elements, in order to save Le Ang, the former still mobilized some air elements.

Unfortunately, the air elements have a poor immunity to the captivating gaze, and Matthew successfully drove them away.

"Little Ingram's main focus at the moment is still on maintaining the resurrection of the Blood Angel Ulmath."

"Once he has time, it won't be so easy to kill Leon!"

Matthew realized that this sudden teleportation was a godsend opportunity to kill the legendary archer who was very hostile to him.

Archers are just as cunning as mages.

It’s not easy to get close to him normally!
"die!"

Matthew raised his spear and was about to give Leon, who was lying weak on the ground, a chill in his heart.

But at that moment.

He suddenly sensed a disgusting aura behind him.

call!
Matthew dodged instantly.

A gray ball fell to the ground. Although Matthew dodged the ball, he could not avoid the black and white barrier formed after the ball exploded!
That is……

Demon-sealing barrier!

……

"Warning: You are in the demon-sealing barrier created by "Black Dragon Mother Ordesia"!

You will not be able to use spells higher than two levels in the barrier!"

……

Matthew's face darkened.

He coldly stared at Ordesia who kept a certain distance from him, knowing that if the magic-sealing ball had hit him, the effect would probably be even stronger.

The Sealing Sphere is one of the most commonly used items for warlocks to fight against mages.

This thing blocks the spellcasting circuit, but innate spellcasting and other spell-like abilities are no longer included.

When fighting a wizard, many warlocks prefer to close the distance, suppress the wizard's strength with a magic-sealing ball, and then use spells or even melee techniques to kill the opponent.

This thing is not difficult to counter.

Most magic-sealing balls cannot block tricks, do not have any control features, and have a high probability of failure. They are not as deadly a threat to mages as spell-nullifying barriers.

not to mention.

It seemed that Aldessia had no intention of engaging in close combat with Matthew.

She couldn't even look Matthew in the eye.

Just by throwing the ball far away, the distance widened again.

"run!"

"Leon, run!"

The Mother of Black Dragon shouted loudly.

Matthew sighed softly and was dragged again.

But this kind of thing cannot be rushed. Matthew knew that he had to remain calm. The best way to deal with it was to exit the range of the magic-sealing ball first, and then chase after Leon.

Available in the next second.

Something surprising happened.

But Li Ang stumbled to his feet from the ground, his face glowing a sickly red, his bulging eyeballs filled with thick bloodshot!
"run?"

"Why should I run?"

"I am a hunter, I am a warrior, I am not a coward!"

Li Ang's frail face was filled with a fanatical expression:
"He can only cast spells below level three now. Am I going to lose to him?"

He grabbed the short blade, gritted his teeth, and rushed towards Matthew!

That moment.

Li Ang thought a lot.

Matthew's face, called fear, was still imprinted in his mind.

It feels very uncomfortable to be frightened.

He vaguely remembered the first time he went into the mountains to hunt, he chased a wounded honey badger for a long time.

finally.

He found it in the other's lair.

The look that the honey badger gave him at that time made young Leon enjoy it very much.

that moment.

He seemed to feel that he had become a god.

since then.

He resolutely embarked on the path of a hunter.

Many years later.

He saw a color called fear in the eyes of many of his prey.

That look made him very satisfied.

He collected fear from hunting, drew nourishment from fear, and eventually grew into the powerful legendary archer he is today.

He was invincible in the first half of his life but never realized it.

The identities of hunter and prey can be reversed!

In front of this necromancer.

He realized his own weakness, and he realized that one day, he would become the nourishment that others drew from their fear!
This realization made him feel confused and at a loss.

Then he became extremely angry.

He instinctively wanted to escape, but the magic-sealing ball thrown by Ordesia gave him a glimmer of hope.

Just grab this opportunity.

He can fight back and become an even more outstanding legendary hunter!

"I can fight back..."

"I can kill him..."

Li Ang was muttering to himself.

He strode towards Matthew.

of course.

"Striding fast" is the behavior in his own consciousness. In the eyes of others, Li Ang's movements are so sluggish and slow, as if he has been ill for many years and has just got out of bed and barely learned to walk!
He was holding a hunter's short blade in his hand and seemed to be stumbling as he walked, as if he might fall at any time!
despite this.

Since the two people were not far apart, he successfully came in front of Matthew.

"Come on, Necromancer, challenge me..."

"Who is the hunter favored by fate, and who is the prey laughed at by the world?"

The words fell.

Li Ang's body suddenly burst into red light.

The veins on his forehead bulged and the muscles all over his body swelled at a speed visible to the naked eye!

That moment.

His speed is more than ten times faster!
It seemed that everything before was just a disguise. He pretended to be weak and approached Matthew just for this moment of explosion!

in a blink.

The distance between the two was less than one meter.

Li Ang stomped his feet hard on the ground, his eyes showing a determination to fight to the death. His nostrils twitched slightly, as if he smelled the scent of victory...

However, at that moment, a glass bottle was thrown at his chest unexpectedly, and Li Ang swung the short blade and split the bottle in the middle.

Crash.

Even so, a large amount of blue-purple liquid still splashed onto his body and skin.

A faint burning sensation came.

He didn't know what potion it was.

But now he can't think of that anymore, he must seize this only chance to kill the other party!
"die!"

The dagger stabbed at Matthew's chest, but missed.

The latter took a skillful step back to avoid Li Ang's attack.

This ability comes from A Bing’s sharing. It seems ordinary, but it is extremely useful in actual combat.

next second.

Matthew raised his right hand expressionlessly, pointing his index finger at Leon's chest:
"Who said that spells below level three can't kill people?"

The words fell.

Powerful arcane energy surged from his body once again.

Followed by.

A jaw-dropping scene appeared.

One after another, "powerful arcane missiles" burst out from Matthew's fingertips and hit Leon's chest mercilessly.

"Puff puff puff puff..."

that moment.

Matthew's fingers seemed to have turned into a magical machine gun!

This series of powerful arcane missiles seemed to violate all spellcasting principles, and they were ejected from Matthew's fingertips as if they were free.

What's even worse is.

The powerful arcane missile hit Leon's body, producing incredible effects.

Just for a moment.

His chest collapsed violently, and then the blue-purple liquid stuck to the surface of his skin emitted a clear light.

immediately.

Then it disappeared in the light of more powerful arcane missiles!

Half a minute later.

The young legendary archer fell backwards weakly, with his shoulders and the back of his head hitting the ground heavily.

But at this time.

His eyes, once filled with hatred and anger, had lost their luster.

Even more terrifying is his chest.

At this moment, it had been completely pierced by hundreds of arcane missiles, and its heart, lungs, ribs and other flesh and blood tissues had all been turned into powder!
Matthew walked silently to Leon's body.

Then he pulled out a golden knife.

prick--

He used the Jaeger Blade to cut open Leon's trachea, completing the final fatal damage and ending the legendary archer's near-death state!
"I said I would keep my promise, and this is the first one."

Matthew whispered.

He gently stroked the Jaeger Blade, and a slight buzzing sound came from the blade.

It was an irrepressible joy!

……

"Hint: You threw the "Advanced Corrosion Potion" and successfully weakened Leon's spell resistance!
You have activated the limited-time state "Fire Coverage" in the spell field.

Firepower Coverage: You have obtained a random energy spell "Powerful Arcane Missiles"!
During the duration of the fire coverage (59 seconds remaining), you do not consume any mana when using this spell, and there is no cooldown, and it does not consume any concentration.

Sacrifice Moment (41 seconds remaining): Your "Powerful Arcane Missiles" gains spell modifier.

Also.

Your powerful Arcane Missiles also gains metamagic ability modifiers such as "Instant Spell" and "Maximum Spell"...

Li Ang is in a state of near death!
Hint: You used Jaeger's Blade to kill Dawnstar Leon! "

……

Finally got it done.

Matthew secretly breathed a sigh of relief, even though they had just fought for such a long time.

In fact, from the time Sen'er's sneak attack failed and he was counterattacked by Matthew, to the time when everyone left the Magic Tower, to the time when Matthew took the initiative to chase and kill Le Ang, to the time when he was completely killed, a total of only more than three minutes had passed!
At least the effect of the moment of sacrifice ended before Leon was on the verge of death.

However, the situation is changing rapidly.

Every detail deserves Matthew's full attention and serious attention.

In fact.

With the support of Little Ingram and Ordesia, Leon is really hard to kill!

If he hadn't done something stupid at the end and tried to kill himself forcefully, Matthew would have had no chance of killing him instantly!

"Legends are really hard to kill!"

Matthew clenched the Jaeger Blade and stood up quickly.

After a few seconds.

He felt the heat coming from the golden knife.

After the heat flow.

Matthew noticed that there was a black stone the size of a fingernail in the palm of his hand.

……

“Hint: Jaeger’s Blade devoured Leon’s soul, and he was very satisfied with the quality of this soul. In return, you received a summoning crystal of the “Underworld Enforcer”!

Summoning Crystal of the Underworld Law Enforcer (usable once per day): Activate this stone to obtain a projection of the Underworld Law Enforcer, which will merge with your shadow. When you launch any physical attack, your shadow will also launch the same attack, causing the same damage and special effects.

You can also release the projection of the Underworld Enforcer to entangle the enemy. In the process of entanglement with the enemy, the projection will suck the enemy's blood and mana, and replenish it to you in small amounts.

Jaeger's Blade: You have acquired a new dark servant, "Leon the Hollow"!"

……

The unexpected crystal made Matthew feel much happier.

It seems that Jaeger's Blade is not so unsophisticated. If you give it a high-quality soul, the other party will reciprocate.

But what Matthew liked even more was the new dark slave.

He really wanted to take a closer look at the properties of the dark slaves that the legendary strong men turned into after their death.

But the current situation does not allow him to be distracted or careless.

Matthew took Leon, whose chest was hollow, out of the coverage of the magic-sealing ball.

not far away.

Aldessia looked at him with complicated eyes:
"You actually killed Li Ang?"

Matthew looked at the other person unceremoniously:

"You can avenge him."

Aldessia snorted coldly:

"I will."

"After dawn, you will die without a burial place!"

Those words were quite harsh.

But after the Black Dragon Mother said this, she fled away at an extremely fast speed!

Matthew didn't chase after him.

Instead, he shifted his attention to little Ingram.

now.

Beside him stood the four elemental elders, who, along with other elemental creatures, were fighting with the trolls.

This is also one of the key factors for Matthew to successfully kill Li Ang——

It was precisely because little Ingram was too busy that Matthew had the opportunity to show his talents.

But the trolls weren't trying to delay Matthew.

Their target is the blood angel in front of little Ingram who is performing the resurrection ceremony!

"We can't let him be resurrected!"

Anne cried out:

"Each Stigma Angel is a dark beast more terrifying than the evil gods from outside the domain. Once they awaken, they will slaughter all heretics and regard all things as blood food, wantonly sucking and enslaving them..."

"We must stop him!"

She herself rushed to the front line with Holiday, and Claire and others also helped.

However, Ingram's summoned legion is too solid.

Even if Matthew joined now, it would probably be difficult to change the situation immediately.

Because apart from elemental life.

Little Ingram also summoned a group of giant frost wolves, four seven-headed swamp snakes, two ice bears and an illusion fairy!
This is simply not the number of summons that a normal summoner can maintain.

Matthew's first reaction was -

"This kid has a magical weapon!"

"And there's more than one!"

So he couldn't help but take out a small flashlight and shine it on little Ingram:
"I'll just take a look!"

……

"Hint: You used the "Psychic Flashlight" and you peeked at 4 items in Little Ingram's backpack or storage items -

1. Aunt's pantyhose (click to view details).

2. Box of Black Blood (same as above).

3. Scroll of "Destroy Both the Stone and the Jade"*12.

4. Book of Trust (Summoner's Special Weapon/Named Weapon/Lost Artifact)

……

There really is a magic weapon!
But what the hell is this aunt’s pantyhose?

"It seems that little Ingram is not a simple person..."

Matthew's expression became complicated.

He put away the flashlight and moved closer to the trolls, intending to put more pressure on little Ingram.

But at this time.

The wind around the Magic Tower suddenly became tense.

"Woooooooo..."

That moment.

It was as if thousands of vengeful spirits were crying softly.

Matthew spread his perception, and then he realized that a large number of troll spirits were rushing towards this place!

What's even scarier is.

Among those troll spirits there was a huge monster.

That guy made Matthew feel so terrified that he couldn't even think of fighting him!
"coming!"

"It's Crafa's inspector!"

Matthew's heartbeat began to speed up.

He knew that it was the battle here and the aura of the Stigmata Angel that attracted the vengeful troll spirits and even more terrifying patrollers.

Staying here any longer will only lead to your own destruction!

“Let’s go!”

"retreat!"

Matthew greeted his own people and the trolls.

The others obviously also noticed the change in the situation.

"Dang Dang Dang!"

The sound of bells was heard again in the distance of the ancient city.

Matthew counted.

Twelve times in total.

It was originally the bell of midnight, but after so many years of changes, the day and night in Blood-Drinking Mountain were already completely different from those in the material world.

He calculated.

There is still an hour until dawn!
And this hour is probably the most dangerous time!

"You go!"

Annie ordered the remaining trolls to retreat to the safe house via the return scroll.

She herself was planning to retreat with a look of regret on her face.

The current situation is also very clear.

Even with Matthew, it would be difficult for them to stop little Ingram from resurrecting the Stigmata Angel.

Rather than that.

It would be better to let the soon-to-be-resurrected Blood Angels, the Ancient City Patrolmen, and the troll spirits here fight each other.

What they can do.

Just protect yourself as much as possible!

Bright lights flashed.

The trolls disappeared one after another.

Matthew here.

Claire and Gasliwen also successfully used the scroll and returned to the safe house.

Mo Song was unlucky. He was just a traveler. After the safe house was officially closed, he had no scroll and could only find another refuge.

This shouldn't be a problem for the God of Travelers.

Matthew said take care to him.

I also plan to stay away from this place.

He was at this moment.

He suddenly felt a strong throbbing in his heart.

Matthew turned around sharply.

But in the dark sky in the distance, a huge creature with a pale white glow all over its body was slowly approaching.

It was a giant troll holding a mace and a staff.

It's obviously just a spirit.

But with every step the other party took, the entire ancient city felt as if the earth was shaking!

That is "Uken", the inspector of the ancient city of Krafa!
Not only does it have an extremely huge size, but its level is as high as LV25, which exceeds the limits of the plane!

"Fuck, there's a cheat!"

Matthew didn't understand why the opponent's level was not corrected to LV24.

This is totally inconsistent with the knowledge of planes!
But what attracted his attention right now was not the imposing ancient city inspector.

Instead, it was on a corner just two streets away from the inspectors.

He saw a little boy with white light all over his body!

The little boy was sitting on a stone, swaying his feet, with a book on his knees, reading with great interest.

Matthew looked back at the Stigmata Angel who was about to be resurrected, and then at the patroller who looked menacing.

finally.

He gritted his teeth.

Rushed towards the little boy!
the other side.

Anne Salvins is organizing the retreat in an orderly manner.

"Let's go back."

"I'm ready to go back..."

she said to Holiday.

The loyal troll warrior tore open the scroll to return to the safe house without hesitation.

A white light then came on.

Anne had planned to do the same.

But at that moment.

She saw Matthew rushing out like a flash and immediately stopped tearing the scroll.

He hesitated for only two seconds.

She pressed the scroll and followed!

Only Holiday, who disappeared in the white light on the return journey, had an expression gradually filled with astonishment.
