The necromancer just wants to plant trees.

Chapter 445 Phase Power and Star Fish Head

……

The green light in the sky slowly faded.

Followed by.

Two traces of green appeared in Matthew's vision, and soon, the green turned into thick bloodstains.

A large amount of blood gushed out from the wounds of the two super-powerful men, and they fell to the ground like two waterfalls!

It's just that the color of the waterfall is dark red.

Matthew saw it clearly.

The sword that Telast just used directly tore open the stomach of Patrolman Uken and the chest and shoulder blade of Blood Angel Ulmath!

The scar was so shocking.

But on both sides of the scar, tender bamboo leaves actually grew on the flesh of Wuken and Ulmasi.

The tender green bamboo leaves form a sharp contrast with the dark red scars.

But the most surprising thing is.

As the sword was swung out.

A mysterious aura locked onto Uken and Ulmasi!

Crystal clear, emerald green bamboo leaves suddenly appeared on their heads!
The texture of bamboo leaves is like jade, reflecting peaceful and warm light in the sun.

These bamboo leaves are obviously very transparent.

But everyone noticed them at the first sight!
Matthew counted.

Twenty-three bamboo leaves are suspended above Ulmasi’s head;

And Wuken needs more, a total of forty-one bamboo leaves.

"what is that?"

He glanced at the data column and couldn't find the answer, so he couldn't help but ask.

The Eye Demon Sword Saint replied:
"That's the Bamboo Leaf Mark."

"Every time they take some damage, they will lose some bamboo leaf marks. When all the bamboo leaf marks disappear, they will die completely."

"This is the countdown to death. It is a simple and clear means of attacking the mind. It is also a sign of Mr. Terraste's psychic swordsmanship."

"What a powerful method... I can't do this yet."

There was a hint of regret in his tone.

But more of it is excitement!

Matthew looked odd.

"To put it bluntly, isn't this just the health bar visible to everyone?!"

But for some strong people.

The bamboo leaf mark can indeed have the effect of undermining their majesty.

At least it allows everyone to see the hope and progress of winning.

"Clang, clang, clang!"

The Eye Demon Sword Saint suddenly threw the hundreds of swords on his body to the ground.

Subsequently.

He summoned a shadow to cover the swords.

He himself entered a very relaxed state:
"Don't blink, Matthew."

"This is a great opportunity to observe peerless swordsmanship. I bet you won't encounter such an opportunity many times in your lifetime."

Matthew nodded slightly.

In fact, he didn't need the Eye Demon Sword Saint's reminder to know that there were huge benefits in watching such a fight between top-level powerhouses.

Never mind Matthew.

Even the soldier who was always hiding in the dark to protect him couldn't help but show up.

A Bing looked at Terrast's back and entered a rather strange state.

Matthew's heart moved.

Right.

The opportunity for A Bing to advance to the legendary level is a painting called Bamboo Jade Creatures.

And that scroll is from Terraste's collection.

He himself must have appreciated it.

In the continent of Eindor.

Bamboo is not a rare species, but for most intelligent races, this plant has no special meaning.

The only exception is the wood elves.

Since the arrival of the divine phoenix, many places in Cuiyu Cangting have been planted with bamboo forests.

Matthew also learned about this from Yu Qi not long ago.

The swordmaster path of the continent of Aindor is generally believed to have originated from the orcs.

However, the orc swordsman of Feilai Island is suspected to have inherited his skills from the Sioux people.

During the years that the Divine Phoenix was recuperating in the Emerald Green Courtyard.

Many Sioux cultures and skills have been passed down.

Due to the barriers of supernatural powers and differences in practical application, most of these combat-related techniques are well collected by the Wood Elves and regarded as a kind of cultural artifact.

Very few elves are able to transform the skills passed down by the Divine Phoenix into their own martial arts.

Terraste is clearly an exception.

It is very likely that his swordsmanship was learned from the Secret Treasures of the Divine Phoenix, which is the sword art from the East Continent!

The more Matthew looked, the more certain he became of this.

Because there are too many similarities between Terraste's attack posture and A Bing's movements.

This is a fighting style that has never appeared in the history of Eindor.

But on the front battlefield.

Terrast was fighting one against two monsters that were dozens of times his size. He displayed a very elegant fighting posture.

His movements were very, very slow.

a moment.

Time seemed to have frozen around the old elf. He slowly took a half step back and then froze in place, as if waiting for something.

next second.

He turned sideways, took three quick steps back, and swung out with the bamboo stick in his hand at the same time.

Somehow.

After a red sword light tore the street where he was originally standing in half.

Terrast's bamboo stick easily tore a crack deep enough to see the bone on the boots of the Blood Angel Ulmath!

The Blood Angel raised his boot sharply and brought it down again.

boom!
The street collapsed and smoke and dust rose up.

When the smoke and dust cleared, everyone was surprised to find that Terrast was just standing there steadily.

Except where he stood.

The ground in other places had suffered severe collapse and cracking.

And where he stood.

It was only half a meter away from the boot that the Blood Angel stepped on!
next moment.

He suddenly jumped high, and then his figure disappeared and appeared in another place.

Click!

There was a crisp sound.

The bamboo stick that was swung out in advance easily tore open the patrolman's armor on the thigh.

This scene seemed somewhat puzzling to the onlookers.

It was as if Terrast had swung a sword in the air, and Inspector Wuken couldn't help but come up and try to offend him!
Naturally, Terraste made huge profits in this round of competition.

But he methodically attacked Wu Ken's thighs and crotch armor, and every time he swung his sword, there were visible wounds on the bones!
To know.

In essence, Patrolman Uken is just a larger-sized troll spirit. The scars on his appearance are often the wounds inflicted on his spirit!
This damage is irreversible.

soon.

Matthew observed that the bamboo leaf mark on Wu Ken's head was decreasing rapidly.

From the initial forty-one leaves, they became thirty-nine, and in the blink of an eye they became thirty-six, then thirty-five, and thirty-four…

This scene gives people a feeling that is far more shocking than the visual level.

Every swing of the sword by Terrast brought Wuken one step closer to his fall.

Compared to Terrast's ridiculously slow attack.

Wu Ken's counterattack seemed somewhat incompetent and furious.

He activated a powerful gravitational field, but found that the invincible gravitational vortex was completely ineffective against Terrast!

He also tried to predict where the old elf would land, but naturally he ended up being made a fool of himself.

In a rage, he launched an extremely wide-range attack, but found that although Terrast's movements seemed slow, he could easily dodge even the wide-range attacks.

"He can accurately predict every point where a range attack will land!"

"As long as it's not a one-time, full-range attack, it's impossible to hurt him. Even if it's possible to achieve a full, synchronized range attack, it may not succeed..."

Matthew was filled with surprise.

This was the first non-spellcaster who had given him a profound shock.

As a layman, he simply couldn't understand how Terrast did it.

He seemed so slow...

"No!"

"Terrast is not slow!"

"It's Uken and Ulmasi who are too fast!"

Matthew suddenly woke up.

Indeed, compared to their body size, the speed displayed by the two super-powerful men was already incredibly fast.

If Matthew himself were put in Terraste's place.

Perhaps only by flashing madly can there be a chance to avoid the lightning-fast attacks of the two strong men!
"It's too late to open the Anywhere Door. Opening it would be a death wish."

"In fifteen seconds at most, I will have to use my undead substitute. An immortal body cannot avoid harm at all..."

"Forget about the Blood Angel's sword. The gravitational field of Uken alone is enough to kill most people instantly!"

"Even an ordinary legend can't last three rounds!"

As his understanding of the situation became clearer, Matthew's heart became more and more shocked.

This feeling is different from watching the power of a divine wizard casting spells.

No matter how powerful the spell was, at least he understood the principles behind it, and would admire it and feel moved, so he wouldn't be so shocked.

Only when someone other than the spellcaster stands at the peak of this power, the tremendous power that is unleashed will make Matthew so excited!
Rumble!
Centrally located in the market area.

Buildings collapsed and dust rose into the sky.

The two super-powerful beings changed their strategy and launched a containment attack on Terrast from two directions.

They are gradually eroding Terrast's space for activities, trying to regain the initiative in the battle.

This is indeed effective.

Terrast was pinned down from two directions at the same time. The opponent no longer sought quick success and advanced recklessly. Instead, he adopted a half-defensive and half-compression strategy to encircle and suppress him. As a result, his trajectory of movement became a little cramped.

More and more buildings were razed to the ground.

One after another, force field black holes fell on the earth and in the sky.

The old elf had less and less space to maneuver.

But he himself doesn't seem to be in any hurry.

He still walked leisurely, and swung his sword from time to time. The bamboo leaves on Wuken and Ulmasi's heads were still decreasing, but the speed was several times slower than before!
The fight continued like this for seven or eight minutes.

Seeing that the time was ripe, the two powerful men launched their long-planned moves.

The Blood Angel raised the sword in his hand high, and then stabbed it upward with force.

In an instant.

The sky seemed to be pierced by a long sword.

A large amount of dark purple lightning wrapped around the sword, and a loud hymn sounded from the clouds.

The lightning that seemed to come from heaven rushed down along the sword and turned into an endless river of thunder and lightning.

"Elf, you have successfully aroused my anger... and appetite!"

"Come on, let me see if there is anyone who can withstand my move after a thousand years—"

“Sky-Splitting Slash!”

All of a sudden.

The sky full of purple lightning locked onto this area of ​​space.

Just before the lightning struck, Matthew, who was about to run away, was rolled up by the tentacles of the Eye Demon Sword Saint.

in a blink.

He appeared on a tall tower three miles away!
"These people really have no sense of responsibility. They don't restrain their overflowing energy at all..."

The Eye Demon Sword Master's tone was filled with dissatisfaction.

Matthew looked up.

The sky over most of the market area was covered in purple lightning.

He couldn't even find Terrast for a moment!

And at the same time.

Another terrifying force is also brewing like a storm, and it is brewing very quickly!

Compared to the Blood Angel Urmas.

Patrolman Wuken's movements were much more low-key, with hundreds of phantom-like hands appearing behind him.

All the knuckles on each hand were crisscrossed madly.

For a while.

There were teeth-grinding noises coming from behind him.

Matthew's eyelids twitched.

This energy is of course quite familiar——

"Sign language casting + cluster casting?"

Before Matthew could identify the magic method used by the inspector.

A word of Troll language burst out from Wuken's mouth like thunder:

"Collapse!"

That moment.

A force grabbed Matthew and made him take two steps forward. If it weren't for the timely help of the Eye Demon Sword Master, he would probably have been pulled forward further!
This is the case even at the edge of the market area.

Not to mention its interior.

Matthew could clearly see that the ground of the entire market area began to collapse madly.

The gravitational vortices that were originally set up turned into small black holes.

Under the earth.

A circle appeared, sometimes shining silver and sometimes emitting black light.

All the space above the ring.

The gravity it faces quickly rises to twenty times that of normal!
Thirty times!
Forty times!
"Boom boom boom..."

at first.

Matthew could also hear the roar of buildings collapsing in droves.

Later.

The sound gradually weakened and was almost inaudible!
As the force exerted by the Eye Demon Sword Master on his waist grew stronger and stronger.

Matthew realized with horror.

The gravitational vortex that appeared in the area covered by the ring was so strong that not even sound could escape!

The sky cracks!

The ground collapsed!

The light also appears slightly distorted.

The scene before him was beyond Matthew's comprehension of a battle scene.

The purple lightning remained fixed in the upper half of the screen like a spider web.

The hands filled with whirlpools stretched out from the black hole and filled the lower half. Between heaven and earth.

Everything is being destroyed.

Only the huge figures of the two super-powerful ones were left!

They were like two demon gods.

They are carrying out a world-destroying cleansing on this world that has desecrated them!

The sound completely lost its presence at this moment.

All Matthew could hear was the pounding of his own heartbeat.

His eyes gradually became dry, but he dared not blink, so tears flowed from his tear glands and blurred his vision.

It was at that very moment.

The light and shadow reflected from the tears suddenly made him see a familiar back!

It was a shadow standing alone on the tall tower.

Around the tower.

All the buildings were collapsing, and only the few inches of space where the shadow stood remained intact.

So the picture gradually becomes abstract.

The sky was cracking wider and wider, the earth was sinking deeper and deeper, and the shadow seemed to merge into one with the lonely tower under his feet.

They are so abrupt and yet so stubborn in this picture.

An unknown wind blew the figure on the high tower.

Terraste's clothes were shaking violently.

a moment.

The tall tower beneath his feet tilted slightly, as if it was about to fall down.

It was at that moment.

Countless dark purple lightning bolts merged into a beam of light that pierced through the sky and earth, merging with the Blood Angel's sword and piercing through Terrast's head!

at the same time.

The giant vortex hand that was formed by the fusion of countless black holes grabbed from the bottom up like a demon destroying the world.

The beam of light fell.

The giant hand wrapped around the figure, and then its five fingers rolled towards the middle!

At this moment.

A calm and composed voice sounded in everyone's heart:
"They are indeed some rotten old fellows."

"These moves of yours..."

“It’s full of flaws!”

Matthew only saw the silhouette of the elf old man grabbing the bamboo stick, pushing it upwards, and then pulling it downwards in an extremely strange posture!
A golden light emanated from his body.

The tall tower under his feet also became dazzling under the golden light.

that moment.

Time seemed to stand still at this moment.

Then, like a wound-up alarm clock, it fast-forwarded ten or more seconds!
The almost frozen picture seemed to be framed in a glass frame.

Then the glass shattered.

The purple lightning rolled back upwards.

The giant black hand split into thousands of black spots of light.

All the mottled colors that made up the previous scene lost their meaning.

They keep collapsing.

For an instant.

The material space near the solitary tower was shattered into pieces!

In that incredible collision of power, Matthew saw that the bamboo leaf marks on the heads of the two super-powerful men were reduced by more than half at a speed visible to the naked eye!

……

「Hint: Terrast used the "Sword of Lawbreaker"!
You sensed the power of the source of the phase!"

……

"The sword that breaks the law! It is indeed the sword that breaks the law!"

I noticed the doubt in Matthew's eyes.

The Eye Demon Sword Saint took the initiative to explain:
“This is a sword technique inherited from the immortal race, which can counter all incredible supernatural powers.

It is said that it was originally a kind of stick technique, and its founder was a famous druid in the Eastern Continent. The druid was famous for his love of transforming into a monkey.

Many years later, this move was incorporated into the sword art by the immortals.

But I want to master this ability.

You must achieve perfect control of the power of phase..."

Followed by.

The Eye Demon Swordmaster quickly gave Matthew some basic knowledge about "Phase Power".

About Phase Power.

The alliance's research in this area is currently blank.

Matthew once thought that phase was another name for ether.

It took him a long time to realize it.

There is a strong mutual exclusivity between phase and ether.

Mages who are favored by the Ether are often unable to sense the existence of the Phase Force. This is why many mages, after doing relevant research, directly claim that the Phase Force does not exist at all!

But Matthew knew that the power of phase was real.

Not to mention the distance, A Bing can absorb the power of phase, and the "flash" that Matthew usually uses is also a manifestation of the power of phase.

According to the Eye Demon Sword Master.

Almost all melee professionals have the opportunity to come into contact with phase power after entering the legendary level.

Different from the ether, it exists in a separate plane and can be highly concentrated in the form of magic.

The distribution of phase forces in the multiverse is more scattered, chaotic, and more elusive.

But once a melee profession masters a certain phase source.

He will become a figure that spellcasters fear.

to some extent.

Phase power favors assassins or rogues more.

Throughout history, there have been many top wanderers who possessed the Source of Phase.

The Sword Master has much less.

But there is no doubt about it.

A swordmaster who has mastered the source of phases is probably a hundred times more threatening to spellcasters than a wanderer!
While the two were talking.

The collapse of material space is still spreading outward.

Only the place where Terraste stood was safe and sound.

After a few seconds.

Little gray spots and lines appeared in the shattered area surrounding Terraste.

From time to time, there were volcanic eruptions and strange patterns like mushroom clouds flashing by.

Matthew's pupils contracted violently:

"That's the Void Chaos!"

"The power that Terrast just unleashed actually tore this demiplane apart briefly!"

"He can forcibly break through the restrictions of Blood-Drinking Mountain!"

His heart beat even faster!
In other words, the Bloodthirsty Mountain demiplane has a solid foundation and has been relentlessly transformed by the machine master, making it much more stable than ordinary demiplanes.

Change to a normal demiplane.

It has probably been torn into pieces by the turbulence of the void, and is sinking towards the star realm under the influence of the gravity of the universe!
"How can this be?!"

"How could such a powerful elf exist in this world?"

The edge of the void turbulence.

Wu Ken, whose body was covered with numerous cracks, murmured in disbelief.

Immediately.

Wuken roared angrily:

"I am the guardian of Blood-Drinking Mountain!"

"Krafa, in the name of the god Poole, I ask you to lend me the power of the ancient city!"

"I want all, all the power...ah!"

His words were barely uttered before they turned into violent cries of pain.

A horrifying scene appeared——

Before he knew it, the Blood Angel, who had also been badly injured, had actually gotten behind Uken.

The Blood Angel spread his wings, and his arms suddenly grabbed Wu Ken's neck from behind. His powerful wings quickly closed, pinning Wu Ken to the spot!

at the same time.

Ulmas's visor was pushed up, revealing four rows of physically uncomfortable teeth.

"Crack, click, click!"

He was actually gnawing on the body of the ancient city inspector alive!

"Can't you see?"

"Given our current state, we may not be able to defeat him even if we join forces!"

"Don't think too much. Just be my blood food. After I've eaten you, I will definitely avenge you and kill that shitty elf..."

Ulmas made indistinct sounds while chewing furiously.

at first.

Wuken was still resisting fiercely.

But later.

His resistance became weaker and weaker, until half of his head fell into the belly of the Blood Angel, and the patrolman's resistance was almost zero.

Blood and brain matter flowed out of Uken's wound, quickly soaking Ulmasi's body and the surrounding ground.

The Blood Angels feasted without a care in the world.

The eating scene is so disturbing that most people would experience severe stomach cramps if they watched it.

The same is true for Matthew.

But he also noticed that just a second before Ulmas swallowed Uken's head into his stomach.

He saw a strange smile on the corner of the ancient city patrol's mouth.

It is certain that Uken was eaten alive by Ulmasi.

But does the former necessarily mean death?
Matthew doesn't think so.

Ulmas ate very quickly. In just a dozen seconds, he had eaten most of the patroller's body.

He ate and said sarcastically:

"You must be very anxious now, right?"

"That move just now was indeed impressive. Unfortunately, I won't give you another chance."

"You are also an idiot. You actually created such a big scene. It must be hard to be trapped in the turbulent flow of the void, hahaha..."

Facing Ulmaz's provocation.

Terraste seemed calm.

He stood there and waited silently. After a few seconds, large patches of black appeared in the places swept by the turbulence of the void.

There are also some moving blocks of color in these black scenes.

Gradually.

The dark side accounts for the majority of the turbulence.

The color blocks behind it also become more vivid and obvious.

Matthew knows.

When the material world is torn apart, the first thing to arrive will surely be the turbulence of the void.

The second is astral matter.

These astral materials can provide a window to the astral realm, and accordingly, some astral creatures will appear on the other side of the window.

The bolder ones among them are more likely to take the opportunity to enter the material world!
There are more and more color blocks in the black curtain, representing the convergence trend of celestial creatures.

suddenly.

Terrast had an ordinary bamboo stick in his hand, which automatically stretched out and slowly poked into the darkness.

Seven or eight translucent silk threads appeared at the tip of the bamboo stick.

There is nothing on the thread.

However, it also triggered competition for food among creatures close to the star realm!

After a brief disturbance.

A larger astral creature drove away the other beings.

And it swallowed all the silk threads into its mouth!

See the fish has taken the bait.

Terraste mentioned it casually.

next second.

Pulled by the bamboo stick, the celestial creature was dragged to Terrast's side without any defense!
Matthew saw it clearly.

It was a star swordfish with an extremely long body, more than ten meters long, a pointed head, and many barbs on its scales!
The old elf grabbed the swordfish's lower fin with one hand and lightly wiped the fish scales with the bamboo sword in his hand, and all the barbs and scales disappeared.

Followed by.

Bursts of green light emerged from the bamboo sword.

Emerald green light poured into the swordfish's body, and the celestial creature that had just been struggling suddenly froze in place.

Its surface glowed green, and from a distance it looked like a huge, emerald green sword!

"You don't think that I can't do anything to you through the turbulence of the void, do you?"

Terraste snorted.

next moment.

He raised one hand, clenched his fist, then extended his index and middle fingers, tilted them upwards ninety degrees—

Whoosh!
A green light flashed.

The huge green sword flew through the turbulence of the void and the window of the starry sky like a shuttle, and flew towards Ulmas who was feasting on the food!
The sword cut through the darkness like a missile.

Several celestial creatures were injured by the sword because they got too close.

Bang bang bang!
Some scattered organs and parts fell from the astral window and were washed down to the edge of the material world by the turbulence of the void.

Matthew was surprised to see a fish head rushed in front of him.

He didn't have time to express his admiration for the strange shapes of the creatures in the celestial realm.

This move of Terraste was enough to make him open his mouth wide:
"I go!"

"Flying sword!?"

In an instant.

The swordfish from the astral realm pierced the chest of the Blood Angel, and in the process also pierced through the bodies of two super-powerful beings, Uken and Ulmaz!

A large amount of emerald green light emerged from beneath their bodies.

Thousands of vines and bamboos pierced through their dirty skins and appeared on their bodies!

See this scene.

Matthew couldn't calm down for a long time.

He took a deep breath.

He cast a necromancy spell at the star fish head in front of him to ease his mood.

But what he didn't expect was.

……

"Hint: Your necromancy has received a spiritual response!

You found a potential convertible unit!
Should I consume a portion of the negative energy crystals or some necromancy sylphs to obtain an undead creature made from the astral fish head?"

……
