A Necromancer Who Just Wants to Plant Trees

Chapter 382 The Eight-Armed Demon and the Ether Flame

 …

 The top of the mountains bathed in starlight.

Underwood spreads his arms and sings at the top of his lungs.

 behind him.

The yellow and white holy light intertwined to create patches of beautiful glow.

From time to time, the sound of singing can be heard in the glow.

Pieces of white feathers and petals fell when the magic blossomed.

 Follow.

 A huge hole suddenly appeared in the starry sky above his head.

 After the mouth is torn open.

 It quickly expanded into a crack that was hundreds of miles long.

  Crash.

 Haunting seawater spewed out of the cracks.

Attracted by gravity, the sea water turned into a waterfall hanging from the sky, rushing towards the bottom of the hillside.

The seawater was as powerful as a rainbow, hanging down like a black silk, completely submerging Underwood's figure.

Boom!

 Thunder suddenly sounded in the sky.

 It seemed like thousands of troops and horses were coming to fight.

 When the first wave hit the mountain peak, the raised rocks were immediately flattened.

 Hurrah!

 The sea water pours down, instantly turning the mountains into a land of marshes.

 Under the wash of that kinetic energy.

Countless rocks cracked.

 They were swept into the seawater, forming the terrifying mudslide at the forefront!

The big tsunami came like the earth was shattering.

Standing from a perspective that is about to be impacted, the feeling is as desperate as the end of the world.

 In the leaden black curtain.

The hundreds of skeleton soldiers on the outermost edge retreated belatedly, as if they had just reacted.

 But they haven't taken a few steps yet.

 He was smashed to pieces by the mudslide!

　　Boom!

The huge roar of the tsunami caused lasting echoes in the southern foothills of the Hailong Mountains.

 Everything was exactly as Underwood expected.

The tsunami falling from the sky instantly filled the shallow basin, and the undead army, which almost all entered the basin, was naturally not immune.

 A full eight minutes passed.

 The crack in the sky slowly closed.

 Underwood appears again.

His eyes were fixed on the ground, but the expected smile did not appear on his lips.

 Just the opposite.

 His performance is quite solemn!

 “The quantity...is not quite right!”

Underwood's pupils shrank violently, and then one of his eyes turned golden.

 In an instant.

 He saw clearly the situation in the basin!

　　Under the canopy of death that was scattered by the tsunami, there were less than a thousand undead!

 “It’s actually a smoke bomb?”

 Underwood looked complicated.

 In fact, just before he released the tsunami, he had divined it in advance from the God of Midnight.

 With the permission of the latter.

 As the archbishop, he resolutely released this legendary magic.

 However, what I didn’t expect was.

The other party can actually block the perception of the Midnight God?

How can this be?

Underwood found it a bit unbelievable.

 But he was never an indecisive person.

quickly.

He recovered from the failure of the tsunami. He snorted coldly, raised his hands again, and sang loudly.

 “There should be a lake here!”

Underwood pointed with his right hand, and the tip pointed at the basin washed by the tsunami and several surrounding lowlands.

 The next second.

 A large amount of sea water gushes out from the void, slowly filling that area.

 It didn’t take long.

 At the southern foot of the Hailong Mountains, many lakes, large and small, appeared.

These lakes create more complex terrain.

Although it cannot completely stop the invasion of the undead army, it can also provide more help to Underwood's defense.

“Tell Andre to let him take action. Remember, the main thing is to unite all forces to defend, and you must not take the initiative to attack.”

 Underwood whispered.

quickly.

 A featherless crow flew away from him.

 Fifteen minutes later.

 In the eastern part of the City of Night Angel, many aerostats slowly rose up.

These aerostats are mostly made from the remains of astral creatures. They have natural resistance to gravity and can easily float in the air, so they are relatively common among many forces in the astral realm.

 With the help of an aerostat.

Mercenary groups from the City of Night Angel arrived on the east side of the man-made lake one after another.

 The expressions on the faces of all the mercenary group members were extremely solemn.

 They all know that the line of defense they are about to defend is the last line of defense in the sampan plane against the terrifying necromancer.

 Once this is broken.

Then the city of Night Angel will also be in danger.

 The fall of the entire sampan plane is also close at hand!

“Set up checkpoints on the shore, set up sentries on the top of the mountain, release all the hot air balloons, and observe the movements of the Death Sky!”

 Follow the previously assigned tasks.

 The heads of the major mercenary groups also found their stations in the chaos.

 It is rare for everyone to unite as one.

 After all, in front of the undead.

The calculations between living people seem a bit trivial.

 Because they have no way out.

 While the defenders of Night Angel City on the east side of the lake were busy.

Several immortal thunderbirds flew quietly high in the sky.

 They saw it all.

 And the west side of the lake.

 In a hidden cave.

Matthew stood at the entrance of the cave and looked down at the changes on the earth through the eyes of the immortal thunderbird.

 “It’s really a big deal...”

Matthew's expression remained calm.

 After experiencing so many things, he did not feel complacent because he had successfully deceived Underwood and used a few undead to redeem the tsunami in the opponent's hands.

 The sophistication of the defenders of Night Angel City was a bit beyond his expectation.

 According to Matthew's observation.

 In addition to the fact that the Church of the Midnight God has a holy guard of up to two thousand people.

Among the other large and small mercenary groups, there are also five to six large mercenary groups that look capable of fighting.

The main members of these mercenary groups are Fredians, Astral Gnolls and Red Orcs.

  The Freds are a kind of humanoid creature in the star realm. They have a relatively indifferent relationship with humans. Because they are stimulated by the starlight of the universe, their skin is dark purple or even black-purple.

 This is a creature with quite terrifying fighting talents.

 In the continent of Irondor or other outer planes.

Some Fred mercenaries who come out to fight alone are very popular with their employers.

This is a group of creatures that are naturally obsessed with fighting and fighting.

But Fred is very animalistic. Everywhere he goes, if he can't fight every day, he must vent it every day, otherwise he will not be able to live in peace.

Hence, Fred mercenaries are not common on the Material Plane.

 They can only be seen in the more chaotic places on the outer plane.

  Matthew saw.

  There are at least two large mercenary groups on the east bank of the man-made lake, with the Freders as the main force.

 The number of these people exceeds two thousand, and they are a force that cannot be underestimated.

“I heard that the Fred people are not afraid of death when they charge. In the material world, apart from the undead army, the only soldiers who can withstand the charge of Fred’s army are the barbarians from the North.”

 Matthew discussed with Mullan.

Mulan nodded:

"indeed so."

"However, the Freds are good at attacking but not good at defending. If you delay them for a while, they might start fighting among themselves because they are itchy."

"Furthermore, Fred's Army is not invincible in history. As far as I know, there was a city lord from a secondary plane who, when facing Fred's Army's attack on the city, killed all the prostitutes with sexually transmitted diseases in the city. They gathered them together and offered themselves up, and not long after that, the small army collapsed on itself..."

Matthew showed a hint of surprise:

“Is it because they all have sexually transmitted diseases and their combat effectiveness has been greatly weakened?”

Mulan shook his head:

 “That’s not true.”

“The onset of sexually transmitted diseases is not that fast.”

“The Fleders have a very strong sense of self. Every Fleder wants to possess more resources of the opposite sex. Even if the other is a prostitute, they will fight for it.”

"The city lord initially thought the same as you, just to reduce their combat effectiveness through infectious diseases. However, he accidentally discovered the weakness of the Fred people's disregard for discipline. After that, many people used the same method when fighting against the Fred army. It’s a way to sow discord, and this method almost always works, unless there is a very prestigious boss in the legion.”

“It’s a pity that no one in your army is pretty, otherwise we could really give it a try...”

 Hear this.

Peggy next to her was a little dissatisfied:

 “What about me?”

“Even if I can’t be said to be charming, I should still be pretty, right?”

Mulan smiled awkwardly.

Matthew waved his hand and continued to discuss business:

“The astral gnolls and red orcs are also very strong. I also saw some descendants of the celestial realm. Others including kobolds, astral humans, and some lizardmen should not be a worry.”

"Their defense structure is very strange. The main roads in the north are all elite regiments, and the farther south you go, the more mixed soldiers you go."

“Although the northeast across the lake is the direction of the City of Night Angel, we can also go south, bypass the Crystal Forest, and go straight to the south gate of the City of Earth Angel?”

 Mulan said uncertainly:

 “I don’t understand the art of war.”

“But it looks like Underwood wants us to go down this path.”

 “Is he still ambushed in the Crystal Forest?”

 Matthew shook his head gently.

 Underwood should have already learned the news of Lance's death.

 The situation has developed to this point.

There are many things that cannot be solved with tactics or strategies.

 The two sides are fighting to the death.

If you stand in Underwood's perspective, every deployment you make has to pay for the overall situation.

 Otherwise you are a real fool.

If the undead army successfully breaks through the miscellaneous troops in the south, it can in turn use snowballs to eat up the elite troops above.

　　It’s a complete loss for Underwood!

It is impossible for the other party to make such a stupid deployment.

 The only answer is.

 “He should have other things in the south...”

Matthew just finished speaking.

 Suddenly there was a sound like the earth was shaking and the mountains were shaking from the land in the south!

 Matthew looked at Mullan.

The legendary mage immediately took him to fly high, and the two stood on the clouds. The former cast a legendary farsighted spell, and the situation on the southern horizon was suddenly clear-

 South of the man-made lake, at the edge of the Crystal Forest.

 A huge black shadow is crawling forward.

The opponent is moving very slowly, and the reason why it makes a earth-shaking sound is because it is gnawing at the earth while walking!

boom!

boom!

boom!

 Accompanying the advance of the behemoth.

 One funnel-shaped pit after another suddenly appeared on the earth.

 Matthew narrowed his eyes.

Mulan’s expression was also slightly serious:

“It’s a giant beast raised in the star realm by the Scourge Cult!”

“Fortunately, it’s not a real behemoth, it’s just an experiment between the Scourge Order and the God of Midnight.”

That is indeed a huge beast.

Matthew could see clearly that most of the opponent's body looked like an eight-armed ape, and the remaining half looked like a giant spider.

 At this moment.

The spider-like half of the giant beast's body clings to the ground, and its slender claws frequently hit the ground to drag the huge body forward slowly.

 And behind it.

The ape-like half of the body is constantly biting the rocks on both sides with its **** mouth.

It seems to be keen on eating dirt.

This thing is like an ape and a spider glued back to back.

Looks creepy and uncomfortable.

 “Test subject?”

Matthew was not surprised:

“No wonder it looks like a crude patchwork.”

 Mulan reminded:

 “Don’t be careless.”

“Although it looks like a suture of giant creatures, it is not.”

 “This is a demon!”

 While speaking.

There is also new news on the data column.

 …

“Tips: You encountered the eight-armed demon “Trierson (LV24/evil lord/super giant creature)”, the descendant of the “big evil demon Trier”!

 Behemoth knowledge: You realize that Trierson is the son of Trier and Medora, the mother of the giant hive (star realm)..."

 …

 It’s actually an evil spirit?

Matthew was slightly surprised.

The word demon does not refer to a fixed race, but to groups of monsters that cannot be classified as demons, demons, evil spirits or even other groups.

 For example, Jia Si Liwen created the Thousand Changers.

 She herself is a powerful evil spirit.

 Evil demons can be big or small, strong or weak, and they are all very different from each other.

 But they have one thing in common—

  They are basically terrifying monsters formed against the will of the plane.

 Theoretically.

 Monsters that are generated against the will of the plane are very easy to die.

 Because they will bear the curse of the plane, the risk of sudden death is much higher than that of other monsters.

It is precisely because of this.

All evil spirits active in reality are ruthless characters!

 Some evil spirits can even turn the curse of the will of the plane into their own abilities, and then control the wind and rain in a certain area and become omnipotent.

 In the astral realm.

 The Great Evil is a more terrifying existence than the gods.

The reason why the God of Midnight has a transcendent status in Tianlun Palace is not because of how powerful he is as a god, but because he has a great evil clone named Trier!

 According to Mullan.

The great evil demon Trier may be more powerful than the God of Midnight himself!

 This shows how difficult the devil is to deal with.

The evil demon that appeared on the edge of the Southern Crystal Forest obviously followed the will of the great evil demon Trier.

  The top legend of LV24.

Just stuck at the critical point of becoming a legend.

  And also has a height and body length of more than 250 meters. It should be the strongest enemy Matthew faced in a head-on confrontation after entering the sampan plane!

The eight-armed demon crawled on the ground, crawling like a spider or an ape, creeping over in a terrifying way.

If that scene falls in the eyes of a living person.

I am afraid that my defenses have been broken long ago and I am completely defeated.

It's a pity that Matthew's men are all undead.

 There is no coward under the canopy of death.

 There is only a slight tremor of confusion in the soul fire.

"If you want to attack the east bank, I can stop him for you."

Mulan pointed at the eight-armed demon and said:

“But then I won’t be able to distract you from protecting you.”

 Matthew did not say anything immediately.

He stood in the clouds, his eyes scanning from north to south -

To the north is the Helen Mountains under the starlight. There is also a disembodied figure on the mountain and a golden sky above the figure.

 That is the projection of the army of petitioners from the Kingdom of the God of Midnight.

 Petitioners will not actually participate in this war.

But their hymns and hymns were enough to inspire all who fought.

To the south is a crawling eight-armed giant beast. Judging from its posture, it is planning to slowly crawl to the south of the undead army, and then wait for an opportunity to move.

 And to the east of the man-made lake.

The Holy Guards and the major mercenary groups are already setting up defensive measures. If they are allowed to build a defense line, the difficulty of the subsequent frontal attack will be much higher -

 The lake water cannot kill the undead, but the combat effectiveness of the undead in the water is very low.

And fortifications can also keep out the undead army, allowing the defenders to use various means to consume the power of the Death Canopy.

Once the snowball of the undead disaster is interrupted.

 The Death Canopy will continue to ask Matthew for strength.

 It’s been a long time.

  Surely suffer disaster.

 “The snowball cannot stop.”

A trace of determination flashed in Matthew’s eyes:

 “This battle must be fought, and it must be won!”

that moment.

 A strange idea suddenly came to his mind.

This feeling is somewhat familiar to him—

Matthew had felt this way before on the battlefield in the mossy green hills!

 “Have you entered the equilibrium node again?”

 Matthew was a little surprised.

 But he quickly realized that he did not seem to have entered the equilibrium node.

It’s just that some bizarre scenes still appeared in front of his eyes.

 He saw many scenes, some of which were clear and some of which were blurry. What was amazing was that Matthew could always decipher the effective information in those scenes——

 …

 Outside the permanent barrier.

Ekmond was alone, confronting the astral spaceships from Tianlun Palace.

On the deck of the spaceship, there are thousands of phantoms.

They were yelling and asking for something.

However Ekmund did not answer.

 He just stood there alone, letting the shadow cast on the permanent barrier be stretched to an unusually long length.

 …

 Twin Paradise Ruins.

 Isabel is walking on the ruins like a ghost.

 Not far away from her.

Standing impressively are the shadows of the God of Midnight and other gods of Tianlun Palace.

 There may be some overlap between them.

 Sometimes they even collided head-on.

 But nothing happened.

Until a certain moment, Matthew saw clearly that the routes between the two parties were two completely parallel lines from a certain angle!

 Just follow the established route.

 They will never cross paths with each other.

 …

Matthew also saw many high-level devils hiding in the gaps between the planes and watching covetously while Lind was refining the Intellectual Mystery Lock;

He saw the Stuluk planet and the places occupied by Stuluk Industries in the abyss and purgatory, and the everlasting black smoke floating over those cities;

He saw Lumiere’s people walking out of the jungle step by step;

He saw the scene where the Southern French Legion was in full swing building Rolling Stone City!

 Then he saw more friends.

 He saw Lorraine who was flirting with two girls wearing antlers and white tube tops;

I saw Eli holding hands with a charming woman and walking by a clear lake;

I saw Bobo, who was waiting for his signal in the moonlit forest, but was cutting his nails out of boredom;

 His brain seemed to have evolved completely.

 Ability to understand and process so much information at once.

These scenes were projected so clearly before Matthew's eyes, as if they were within reach.

This excited Matthew.

 It also confused him.

 “If it’s not an equilibrium node, why do you have this strange feeling?”

“As if all of this is closely related to me, as if what I do next can change their direction to a certain extent...”

 When such doubts arose in Matthew's mind.

 Suddenly he saw countless densely packed thin lines.

These thin lines have a deep or shallow connection with those pictures.

This moment.

Matthew looked down.

 He found that he was like a cocoon, tightly **** with various threads!

That is the perfect luck.

That is the aftertaste of the hand of fate.

That is…

Equilibrium node itself!

 …

“Tips: Due to your identity, status, strength, lineage, background and other particularities, a balance node has been solidified in you, and you have become a trendsetter of destiny and a rider of life!

 Your exploration in the field of balance has been greatly increased!

 You can choose to obtain abilities from the balanced field, or you can choose to brew more powerful authority.

 After you solidify the equilibrium node, every move you make may trigger the collapse of the equilibrium and the formation of a new equilibrium.

 Please make all decisions related to your faction carefully! "

 …

that moment.

Matthew saw three **** of light surrounding himself.

Those three light **** represent the main material world, the star world and the void world respectively.

 Among them, the light ball in the material world is the brightest, which means that Matthew has the deepest foundation in the material world;

The ball of light from the void world is the newest and dimmest, but it feels like it has the most potential, as if a big explosion is possible at any time;

 The light ball in the astral realm is sometimes bright and sometimes not bright.

  As if we were at a sensitive point.

 Matthew felt a little tight in his chest.

at this moment.

 He suddenly understood what Kesha said to him.

“Unknowingly, am I already carrying so much responsibility and destiny?”

“Actually, at the beginning, I just wanted to plant a few trees. A bone dragon would be very majestic...”

 Such emotion flashed through his heart.

 But Matthew knew.

　　I can no longer go back.

 Perhaps reality is just like the undead disaster, it is a **** game.

 If a big enough snowball cannot be rolled before the crisis arrives.

Then you may just be reduced to the fate of being crushed by other snowballs and become a vassal!

“In this battle, we can neither retreat nor lose, we can only win!”

 Matthew adjusted his attitude.

At this moment, he was freed from the mysterious and mysterious feeling before.

 After meditating for a few minutes.

 He said to Mullan:

"I plan to attack directly and not give the opponent a chance to delay."

"In this process, I do need you to entangle someone, but that person is not the eight-armed demon Trierson, but Archbishop Underwood."

"As for my safety, you don't have to worry about it. I have many ways to protect myself, and I have enough guardian angels."

Mulan thought for a moment.

He also agreed to Matthew's arrangement.

So.

Matthew directly led the undead army out of the hole where they were hiding.

 He ordered Philoleus to lead the Bone Dragon Legion to attack the miscellaneous soldiers in the south.

 Peggy assists.

 The remaining undead army moved directly towards other locations in the south to outflank it!

  For the Necromancer.

  The undead scourge does not require constant instructions.

He only needs to issue a general order, and the former will complete it on his own.

next moment.

 The thick canopy of death takes the lead.

The mighty undead squirmed toward the lake!

 When Underwood noticed this scene.

 The army of the undead is already less than twenty kilometers away from the lake.

The east bank of the man-made lake immediately sounded the alarm of the undead attack.

 “Push them to death in the water!”

 The mercenaries on the east bank let out loud roars, trying to boost the morale of themselves and their companions.

Seeing that the group of undead were about to walk into the water.

 But at this time.

　　A figure suddenly flew out from the west bank of the man-made lake!

The figure flew a certain distance in the air and instantly turned into a giant tortoise with a body length of 40 meters!

The giant turtle lay down in the lake.

 I don’t think he did anything.

 Almost instantly, all the seawater in the lake was sucked clean!

Underwood’s eyelids twitched in the air.

He was just about to stop Matthew, but a mage holding a giant ax suddenly appeared next to him!

 “Use your strongest magic on me!”

Mulan's whole body was shining with the starlight of gemstones. After saying these words, he frantically struck Underwood's body with his giant axe.

 Underwood was forced to attack.

However, his magical attack hit Mulan's body and disappeared like a mud cow entering the sea.

quickly.

 Underwood began to bear Mullan's counter-injury like a storm!

A unique battle between the mage and the magician began.

 And on the ground.

 Matthew turned into a deep-sea dragon turtle and was sucking sea water crazily.

Handling out seawater is the instinct of deep-sea dragon turtles.

 Every time he sucked up a small lake, he sprayed water desperately towards the east bank.

 The scale of the man-made lake is not very large.

Especially in front of such a gifted species as the deep-sea dragon turtle, it is not enough.

 It didn’t take long.

 So the lakes that were fatal obstacles to the march of the undead were sucked clean by Matthew.

And the mercenaries on the east bank of the man-made lake even enjoyed man-made rain from dragon turtles!

  What's more terrible is.

Due to the instinct of steam breathing, the rainwater sprayed out by Matthew is scalding hot.

 At first, some mercenaries were ignorant and even raised their heads and reached out to touch it.

 As a result, his face was quickly burned with scars, and his palms were red.

 A period of time.

 There were screams on the east bank.

 And in this chaotic situation.

 The Death Canopy begins to move on its own.

 The leaden black clouds enveloped nearly 50,000 undead.

　　It surged over in a mighty manner.

 At this time.

 A creeping eight-armed demon Trierson finally arrived at the south bank of the man-made lake.

The ape-like and spider-like monster has just arrived.

He couldn’t wait to rush towards the main camp of the Undead Scourge!

  As a huge beast.

 The immediate death judgment is almost invalid for him!

 And his huge body alone is enough to crush the undead camp.

Of course Matthew would not let him succeed.

 In fact.

 The first time the eight-armed demon approached.

Matthew was the first to rush over!

The crawling speed of the deep-sea dragon turtle is not slow, and it seems to be at least 60 kilometers per hour.

 The eight-armed demon is similar.

 The two sides met on a narrow road on a hillside on the south bank of the man-made lake.

boom!

 The dragon turtle stubbornly hit him with his head.

 However, the difference in tonnage lies here.

The deep-sea dragon turtle is only more than 40 meters long.

Looking at the size alone, the eight-armed demon is almost ten times his size!

 Just once.

 The deep-sea dragon turtle was knocked away and flew far away!

　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　…‖

 The eight-armed demon patted his bumped belly as if nothing had happened, and let out an unpleasant laugh like a frog.

 However, this is exactly what Matthew wants!

　　Boom!

 With that impact.

Matthew could barely maintain his wild form and instantly turned into a human form.

 It was precisely because of this impact.

 His body once again lit up with the light from the white tiger!

 “You were attacked, and this time you finally triggered the patron saint.”

“Then, let’s enjoy the power of the white tiger that belongs to you...”

 The voice of the patron saint sounded in Matthew's ears.

 Follow.

 He then felt a raging flame burning on his body surface!

That is…

 The power of ether that is enough to burn the soul!

 …

 Hint: The White Tiger of All Things (Guardian Saint) has been activated.

 While White Tiger is in effect.

 You will be immune to all physical damage, spell damage, and soul damage.

 You will get the special effect "Aether Flame", that is, each of your normal attacks or magic attacks will directly burn the enemy's soul.

 Duration: 60 minutes. "
