The necromancer just wants to plant trees.

Chapter 510: Tomorrow's Old Flower and Behind the Ether Gate

……

On a two-dimensional plane.

A shadow is moving back and forth in a rectangular box at a very fast speed!
Sometimes he took the form of a raven;
Sometimes it turns into a moon bear;
Soon.

He transformed into a silver dragon, a dragon turtle, a celestial deer, and a monkey...

If you look down from above the plane.

This amazing change reached an extremely high frequency of almost once per second, and the transformer was still tirelessly continuing the spell.

Change to the three-dimensional material world.

This kind of behavior has long caused various magical restrictions and backlash.

But on the stone wall of this arcane castle.

All restrictions have been lifted.

Matthew can freely perform his Transfiguration and the Wild Form associated with it!
He swore.

This was the most wonderful high-frequency spellcasting experience he had ever had in his life!

He constantly changes into various creatures.

With each change, his body would tremble, and the depths of his soul would resonate more strongly with the spell itself—

This resonance can bring unprecedented psychological satisfaction and substantial pleasure.

If it is in the material world.

I'm afraid Matthew has already become addicted to magic like the crazy person in the Emerald Cangting!

But in this wonderful world created by the Scourge Mage.

He just felt extremely happy!

“No wonder I was reminded not to indulge.”

"Although the world is two-dimensional, consciousness is still preserved. I'm afraid most people would find it hard to resist the pleasure of unlimited spellcasting!"

Matthew thought so.

Time passes slowly.

The flow of time in the world within the stone wall is countless times slower than that in the material world.

He had plenty of time to complete the practice of each spell.

A blink of an eye.

As the signature spell, True Transfiguration not only successfully encompasses all of Matthew's wild forms, but also derives a series of completely new attributes!
……

"True Polymorph: You can transform into any of the following creatures by casting this spell or taking an action sufficient to complete a wild shape shift—

Raven, Moon Bear, Quetzalcoatl, Silver Dragon, Deep Sea Dragon Turtle, Holy Deer, Eastern Fairy Ape, Hades Flea, any low- to medium-level undead (skeleton, zombie, ghost, banshee, black warrior, mummy, vampire);

Also.

Your True Transfiguration spell also gains the following keywords, including but not limited to:

1. Free switching (you can switch directly from one form to another in all the transformed forms without changing back to human form, and the switching time is shortened to 0.05 seconds)
2. True Transfiguration (all your transformations are supported by True Transfiguration, with separate biological data and corresponding special panels)

3. Independent life (each of your transformed forms has a separate and independent life value. When the life value of a form is dying, you can directly choose to change back to human form or switch to the next form)
4. Invincible Transformation (When you use True Transfiguration or switch forms, there will be a very short period of invincibility, during which you will not be able to be selected, hit, blocked, etc.)
5. Summoning of the same kind (No matter what kind of creature you become, you have the opportunity to summon 3 to 12 of your own kind to serve you. If there are no similar creatures in this plane, you will receive 12 clones that are slightly weaker than your original body as compensation)

6. Feral Hunger (All your transformed physical attacks have a 5% lifesucking effect)

7. Legendary Gift (Your Legendary Transformation will receive an additional Legendary Gift)
8. Domain Overlord (all your transformation forms will gain stronger judgment support in their respective fields)
9…"

……

For a while.

Large swaths of data flashed before Matthew’s eyes.

Interestingly.

After entering the two-dimensional world.

The data column that Matthew could see was compressed to only one grid.

So he could only read it line by line.

Although some trouble.

But it is still a novel experience.

"It's really different after it became my signature spell."

"The health alone means I have a dozen extra lives!"

"And I can avoid some damage by timing my transformation accurately. Although it seems that this requires a lot of skills, and I might end up losing a lot if I fail, in theory it also increases my combat limit..."

Matthew's heart was filled with excitement.

The most crucial point is to include all forms within the realm of true transfiguration!

Is it a real deformation?

The difference is actually quite big!
The most intuitive aspect is in combat.

Matthew estimated that after the true transformation, the comprehensive combat power of each wilderness form could be increased by at least 30%!

"Moreover, the transformation corresponding to the Wild Form can be triggered through the Druid's actions, which is equivalent to perfectly avoiding the flaws of the spell-like ability."

"It also doesn't take away the ability to use the wilderness form alone, so it's still not afraid of any magic sealing system..."

For this training result.

Matthew was quite satisfied.

After completing the real transformation.

He calmed down.

He began to look carefully at all the light spots in the long frame where he was.

These spots of light seemed to flicker and appear illusory.

But after Matthew's observation and summary.

He divided these light spots into three categories:

First, there are the spells that have already been mastered.

If you go after this type of spell yourself, you can either power it up or turn it into a signature spell;
The second category is spells that are derived from spells or abilities that one possesses.

If you chase them at this time, you can quickly learn this spell -

But the time and Ethernet resources consumed are several times that of the first category.

As for the third category, it is the learnable spells that appear randomly in the Arcane Castle.

This is also the "opportunity" that continuing mages will inevitably encounter.

Learning these random spells will consume more time and resources.

But if you happen to touch some extremely powerful legendary spell, it would be a huge profit!

"It is said that the random spells here were left by the Scourge Mage..."

This thought only flashed through Matthew's mind.

"The abilities and spells I possess are sufficient."

“Why waste limited time and resources on lotteries?”

“It’s better to continue to improve yourself.”

His determination gradually became firmer.

Subsequently.

Matthew made a short spell training plan for himself.

Part one, integration.

This section deals with the spells that were transformed into abilities obtained from Surel.

Matthew intends to take advantage of the spell training opportunity to learn them again so that he can truly master these spells!
This step may seem redundant and repetitive.

But it was crucial to Matthew.

This is a process of turning someone else's things into your own.

He knew that there must be hidden dangers behind all tricks.

He wanted to minimize the potential risks as much as possible.

The second part is to upgrade the remaining spells of your own.

That is to raise the energy level of most useful spells to the fifth level as much as possible.

After the spell is upgraded.

It takes almost no extra resources or effort to lower the energy level.

in contrast.

Spell upgrading is a real super-magic ability.

This is also an important process to consolidate basic skills.

After completing the above two parts.

Matthew's basic purpose of coming to the castle for special magic training has been achieved.

Next if there is still time.

He planned to practice a few more signature spells.

Unless he really has extra time and too many resources to use, he won't touch the random spells left by the Scourge Mage!
Just do it if you think of it.

Matthew has always been decisive.

He used his mental power to frame the enchantment abilities of the Surel series into a smaller box.

Then he began to conduct systematic spell training on these abilities.

Use these abilities.

It is essentially equivalent to casting a spell.

And in the process of continuous casting.

Matthew was able to gain experience and insights into related spells.

that's it.

I don’t know how much time has passed.

After Matthew trained all enchanting abilities except the three legendary spells to a certain level in one go.

He discovered that he had a new ability!

"All Powers Return to the Flow: You can convert any ability you possess into a corresponding spell in a standardized form.

You can also learn by observing other people's abilities.

Then create spells that simulate similar effects."

"Sure enough, if accepting Su Ruier's enchantment is equivalent to absorption from the outside to the inside, then transforming these abilities back into spells is an expression from the inside to the outside."

"And in the cycle of absorption and expression, my control over these spells or abilities has been greatly enhanced..."

Matthew's heart was filled with joy.

Formalize these things that originally didn't completely belong to you as part of yourself.

This feeling is quite wonderful.

There is also a certain sense of accomplishment.

This newly acquired ability gave him a certain degree of spell creation ability.

Don't underestimate this ability.

It will gradually build Matthew's own spell system and framework.

And after everything is standardized.

Matthew's magical attainments may be further improved, reaching a level that he himself has never imagined!
"It's a pity that I can't train those three legendary spells."

"That's right. After all, it is the Four-Direction Guardian's signature skill. If you use it directly, it will consume the number of times. It is a consumable spell. If you still want to train it, it would be a bit too greedy..."

Matthew thought with some regret.

After completing the fusion of enchantment abilities.

Next comes the upgrading of a large number of low-level spells.

Matthew did this part very well.

It didn't take long.

He successfully upgraded a large number of low-level spells to the fifth-level power level.

After upgrading, most spells will only see an improvement in expressiveness and power.

Very few have changed drastically in nature.

But even so, Matthew was still very content.

He understands the principle of accumulating little by little.

A mage's comprehensive strength is accumulated bit by bit.

After completing the above two steps.

Now Matthew can fully declare himself to be a real wizard.

Rather than being limited to the realm of the dead!

"Then next is the new signature spell."

Despite going through two major training sessions.

Matthew is still in good spirits.

On the one hand, it was because his mental power was unprecedentedly strong, and on the other hand, it was because of the magic of this space.

Matthew could sense it.

This two-dimensional space is filled with a large amount of ownerless spirituality and gentle ether.

Both are extremely rare.

Spirituality is mostly dependent on the soul, or it is extracted by crazy people and stored as materials.

In this case, spirituality often carries a sense of decay.

Normal people will feel bad when they come into contact with it.

As a necromancer.

Matthew is no stranger to these spiritualities.

That’s why he could sense the spiritual uniqueness of this place.

The spirituality here is gentle and lively, as if it has a certain etheric quality.

same.

The ether here was also extremely orderly, completely different from the chaotic ether that Matthew had come into contact with before!

This shows how powerful the Scourge Mage is!
Matthew's spiritual consciousness was bathed in such a space.

Not only is his magic level improving by leaps and bounds.

Spiritual power is also being further condensed and sublimated.

This experience is so wonderful.

Even someone as determined as he is.

I also keep having the urge to stay here for a long time!
Fortunately, he controlled it in time.

Then the final part of the special training began.

I don’t know how long it’s been since.

Matthew looked at the two recently completed signature spells on the data bar and felt extremely satisfied.

The two signature spells are "Tomorrow's Fading Stories" and "Dead Soul Summoning".

The former is a new advanced spell created and trained by Matthew by combining the four spells of "Spell Counter", "Spell Rebound", "Spell Cancellation" and "Spell Invalidation Barrier" in the mode of "All Laws Return to the Flow"!

"Tomorrow's Day: You can activate this spell in an instant form. The spell itself will appear as infinite pale yellow bubbles. Wherever the bubbles go, they can offset or destroy the effects of all spells.

If a large number of bubbles gather in a specific space (mostly spherical or hemispherical), the space will become a spell-invalid space;
You can also wrap a specific target in a giant bubble, making him unable to cast spells.

at the same time.

The bubbles created by Asuka can also offset some physical attacks...”

no doubt.

This is an extremely powerful spell.

As long as the opponent's spell energy level does not exceed the standard, Matthew can offset any move he makes!
Unlike spell counter or rebound, which need to be set up in advance.

Tomorrow's day flowers can be used as soon as they bloom, and they can even take effect later!
This gives Matthew greater flexibility in actual combat!
Not to mention that in addition to playing magic elimination, this thing can also offset some physical actions of low energy levels.

It's like what card the opponent plays.

Matthew can destroy it!

As long as his magic power and mental strength are sufficient!

As for the fifth signature spell, Matthew gave it to the "Dead Soul Summoning Spell", the spell that had been with him the longest. After it was greatly strengthened.

The Necromancer has also received a lot of item enhancements, the most outstanding of which are the following:

"Tenfold Summoning: Every time you successfully summon a dead spirit (transformed from corpses), you will gain nine additional identical copies.

Note: The copies summoned by the elite and lord templates are ordinary templates.

"Spiritual Enhancement: The undead you summon will have stronger spirituality, and they will be able to better perform the tasks you assign."

"Gold, Silver, Iron Bones: The undead you summon will have very obvious metallic characteristics. Part of its skeleton will be infused with a large amount of metal substances such as gold, silver, and iron to greatly increase its basic strength."

"Super Self-Destruction: The undead you summon can self-destruct when they are on the verge of death. The corpses produced after the self-destruction can be judged as corpse explosion."

In addition to the above four.

The Necromancer has also gained enhancements in other aspects, and its overall strength has been greatly improved.

for this result.

Matthew was already quite content.

"Ten times the number of summoned skeletons."

"After self-destruction, the corpse can explode again... Although the power of each of them is not that great, when accumulated and connected together, it may form an explosion storm that is enough to terrify the legends!"

This is the end.

Matthew has mastered five signature spells, namely Deadly Scissors, Rebellion, True Transfiguration, Obsolete Magic, and Necromancer.

"I still have one last spot for my signature spell."

"Which one should I choose?"

While he was thinking.

Suddenly.

He felt that the box he was in was shaking noticeably!

Rumble!
Rumble!
It was as if someone was constantly tapping on the edge of the box.

"Is it time yet?"

"wrong……"

"Is that... the noise from next door?"

Matthew followed the noise and went over.

I found endless flames appearing on the edge of the box!
These flames seemed to have only affected him, and their source was not here!
Matthew tried to raise his perspective——

Although the spell spots are confined to a two-dimensional plane, the wizard who enters it can gain a perspective beyond the plane by relying on the method of soul leaving the body.

But the process is very strenuous.

Matthew had tried it a few times before, but found that it was of no help in spell training, so he rarely used it.

When it is.

His soul moved a little bit away from the top of his head, and he easily caught a glimpse of the whole picture of this sudden movement.

"Xiao Yeli?"

"No, this is the World-Destroying Torch?"

Matthew saw mushroom clouds rising in the next frame.

And right in the center of those mushroom clouds.

There are torches burning fiercely, with flames rising into the sky.

This is exactly the characteristic of the legendary spell Torch of Destruction!

Followed by.

He saw the face of the little girl Ye Li at the edge of the frame.

She looked a little scared.

But still trying his best to suppress the out-of-control spell!
"Is this the spell you won in the lottery?"

Matthew couldn't help but make a sound.

After a few seconds.

Xiao Yeli looked up in surprise.

Then a pair of eyes widened:

"You you you...how could you?"

She hasn't finished speaking yet.

The out-of-control Torch of Destruction swept towards the area where Xiao Yeli was like a herd of angry bulls.

Before Matthew could speak.

She said anxiously:
"Get out of the way!"

"I can't suppress this spell any more!"

"I don't know either. It was just a simulation training, how could there be such a serious backlash..."

Compared to Xiao Yeli's anxiety.

Matthew was much calmer and composed——

This is the territory of the Scourge Mage.

Even if the spell in one box gets out of control, it will never affect other places.

Instead, it is Xiao Yeli himself who needs to worry.

Although the spell backlash here is not as serious as in the real world, looking at the strength of the Torch of Destruction, if the girl doesn't handle it well, her mental strength may be seriously damaged.

A little more extreme.

It may even affect intelligence!
Based on his friendship with Hibbert, Matthew tried to summon Gordon's fire from the depths of his soul——

After a few seconds.

A black flame suddenly appeared and hung above the plane.

"It's really good!"

Matthew's eyes lit up.

In the past, he usually had to communicate with Dark Paige in Paradise Lost before summoning Gordon's Fire.

Only through coordination between the two sides can he better control the flame.

But in this special place.

Matthew found that his control over Gordon's Fire seemed to have improved further!

No time to think for too long.

He tried to send the Fire of Gordon to Xiaoye Li -

This kind of flame has an extremely powerful eliminate effect on conventional spell flames.

Matthew thought that as long as he could help her stabilize the situation temporarily, she should be able to handle it herself afterwards.

But just as Gordon's fire moved forward.

Matthew sensed a distinct sense of obstruction!

This is also normal.

The Scourge Mage must have set up all sorts of rules here.

If the training mages in each box could change rooms at will, wouldn't the Arcane Castle be in chaos?
Matthew kept a calm mind and pushed Gordon Fire forward slowly and steadily.

A wonderful thing happened -

He relaxed his grip.

The sense of obstruction over there has also been reduced a lot.

It didn't take long.

Under Matthew's control, the Gordon Fire burned all the way across the plane.

finally.

The black fire came to Xiao Yeli's side and quickly suppressed part of the backlash force of the Torch of Destruction!
For an outstanding magic genius like Xiaoye Li.

This help is enough.

It took less than three minutes.

She successfully suppressed the crazy Torch of Destruction!

"Thank you, thank you!"

Immediately.

Xiao Yeli's timid voice came from next door:

"I-I actually remember you."

"Before I was frozen, I was lying there, and I was actually conscious..."

"I heard your voice then..."

While Matthew collected the Gordon Fire, he recalled the scene when he first met Xiaoye Li.

A smile appeared on his lips:
"Yes."

"Fei Liwen and Hibbert, it's really difficult for them to be parents..."

Xiao Ye Li shook her head seriously:

"No."

"Both my parents are very good to me."

"Those experiments... were just to help me survive better."

Matthew nodded slightly.

He was just about to end the conversation and continue his journey of learning magic, but at this moment, Xiao Yeli called him:

"You recognize the brand from my previous life, right?"

The little girl looked straight at Matthew, her eyes very bright.

There was a strange flash in Matthew's eyes.

Seeing that he didn't speak.

The little girl said to herself:

"Before I met you, I often felt an empty feeling deep inside."

"It's like being abandoned by the whole world..."

"It was a very lonely feeling, it was very hard, really hard."

"I have had my parents by my side since I was born, as well as many other mages. They have all been very kind to me. I shouldn't have felt this way..."

She spoke quietly:

"So I soon guessed that the feeling did not come from myself, but from the imprint that gave birth to me."

"That brand - she should be a very powerful god active in the Age of Enlightenment. I don't know why everyone, including me, has lost their memory and impression of her."

"It is precisely because of this that I became the first person to be able to leave the Deep Dive Program activities."

"I feel very lucky."

“But I’m also curious.”

"My predecessor - that brand, what kind of person was she?"

"You must know that?"

"I sense a very familiar aura from you. Are you friends?"

Xiaoye Li asked expectantly.

But Matthew shook his head:

"To be honest, I only met her briefly a few times and I don't know much about her."

Xiao Yeli's face was full of disappointment:
"Is that so?"

She quickly asked again:

"So what kind of existence is she in the eyes of others?"

"I want to hear the most honest and fair evaluation!"

Matthew said seriously:

"Steady, great, um, debauched..."

"debauchery?"

Xiao Yeli's eyes widened in shock.

Matthew smiled:
"She does have a rather average reputation in her private life."

"But you have to understand that absurd things are the norm in Eindhoven."

"If a man is not absurd enough, he is either a master of the realm of moderation or he is mediocre and incompetent."

"Extraordinary power is itself accompanied by absurdity."

"This is the universal law of everything in the world, at least in this universe."

Xiao Yeli nodded in confusion.

She began to think.

Matthew smiled and was about to retreat.

Before retreating, he did not forget to take back the Gordon Fire.

But in the process.

However, Matthew unexpectedly discovered that on the small path burned by Gordon's fire in the space above the plane, there was actually a secret door!
"what?"

"This place is..."

Before Matthew could figure out what was on the door.

A warm power surged from the depths of his soul.

It was a magic rune hidden in Paradise Lost.

That is……

"The secret spell of the Ether Gate?!"

In Matthew's surprised eyes.

The rune merged into the secret door.

The latter then opened.

A powerful suction force pulled Matthew's soul directly in!

And Xiao Yeli, who was standing there in a daze in another box, was also captured by this suction force.

The two figures disappeared into the secret door in an instant.
