A Necromancer Who Just Wants to Plant Trees

Chapter 424 The Killing Sword and Gossip

 …

 Fortunately, Matthew had taken precautions.

 Three divinities were held in his palm at the same time and stimulated immediately, thus exempting him from the will interference of the Heavenly Dragon Soul.

 The next second.

The Soul of the Heavenly Dragon rushed over angrily:

 “It turns out to be Ucruz’s lackey!”

 “I will cut you to pieces with a thousand knives!”

 The dragon soul traveled very fast, and before the voice could finish speaking, the afterimage had already hit Matthew.

Matthew could see the huge dragon claw just inches away from his face—

 Tear apart!

There were slight wounds on the skin on both sides of his nose, and a few drops of blood gushed out.

finally.

 At the moment when the dragon's claws were about to catch Matthew completely, the latter's figure disappeared in an instant.

 Flash!

Matthew's figure immediately appeared on the other side of the stone basin.

But the dragon soul itself hit the ceiling of the stone basin hard due to its huge inertia.

 This is strange to say.

 Matthew passed through the ceiling very calmly without encountering any obstacles.

But as soon as the Heavenly Dragon Soul collided with it, an extremely terrifying power grid suddenly appeared on the seemingly ordinary stone slab.

Every node of the power grid was glowing with pure white fire.

These firelights and thunderballs bound and restrained Tianlong's soul in an instant, followed by Tianlong's painful cry and more intense struggle!

 Zizzizi!

While the soul of Tianlong was struck by the seal's backlash.

 Matthew took his time casting his spells and abilities—

 The curse of death!

 Pale hands!

 In just a few seconds, a thin gray line appeared between Matthew and Tianlong Soul.

There is frightening negative energy emerging from the thin lines. Although the resistance of the Dragon Soul is not low, under the continuous reduction of the life-killing curse, the originally shiny scales on the Dragon Soul's body also quickly dimmed.

 Following.

 A big gray hand pressed mercilessly on Tianlong's lower abdomen!

Matthew's right hand pushed upwards hard. The pale hand was not only cooperating with the seal to punish the soul of Tianlong, but also suppressing it with a steady stream of negative energy!

 Eight seconds later.

 Under the extremely unwilling roar of Tianlong Soul.

 The former exploded like fireworks!

 A strange scene appeared—

 After the five-clawed heavenly dragon soul exploded, the dragon soul turned into specks of dust.

These dusts float slowly around the edges of the stone pillars.

  After a while.

 The shadow of a small golden ball appeared at the bottom of the mud pot.

  Dust surrounds the golden balls, and they continue to condense, eventually turning into golden koi!

 The koi fish rushed out.

 They passed through Matthew's body, but despite his anger, they could not hurt him at all!

 “The existence form of this spirit body is a bit interesting...”

Matthew showed an interesting expression:

“It seems to be between the astral body and the stardust body. These koi will eventually condense into dragon souls, and the dragon soul’s existence form is higher than the astral body similar to angels..."

to him.

 The most important thing is the shadow of the golden ball at the bottom of the stone basin.

It is clear.

 The rebirth of the Heavenly Dragon Soul depends on that golden ball.

 At first Matthew thought it was the legendary "Dragon Ball" or something.

 But he took a closer look.

The golden ball is filled with lines like integrated circuits, and the outermost metal shell is a mechanical component with a full sense of technology.

This thing doesn’t look like a product of ancient civilization with a long history at all—

  Also.

 The ancient Su country also hid black technology similar to cyber dragons?

Matthew noticed a slight dissonance.

 He became more curious about the origin of Tianlong.

But now is not the time to dwell on this.

Even though the dragon soul had turned into a koi carp, the other party still roared like this from the bottom of the mud basin:

 “You can’t kill me!”

 “Despicable lackeys, insignificant humans!”

Matthew said coldly:

 “I didn’t want to kill you in the first place.”

"But your arrogant attitude makes me very unhappy. I know you have the ability to resurrect the dead, but what if I spread this here..."

 While speaking.

In his hand, he had a basket of cold gel taken from the mage camp, and a small handful of negative energy crystal clusters.

Tianlong Soul sneered:

“This will only slow down my recovery, but it will not hurt me at all.”

 “And, are you threatening me?”

Matthew turned his hand and directly activated the summoning of the dead.

 The next second.

 A huge undead suddenly appeared in the center of the mud basin.

That soft and sticky body instantly occupied most of the mud basin.

The golden koi that was active just now was forced into a corner in an instant.

 “This is called a threat.”

Matthew pointed at the growing ooze leader and said:

"I assume he wouldn't mind leaving something here...like bodily fluids or sludge?"

 Since the leader of the ooze monster swallowed a large amount of Eisner's tongue, his strength and size began to expand rapidly.

　　Although it has not yet reached the point of being promoted to legend.

 But its combat power and influence cannot be underestimated.

 Hear this.

The leader of the ooze monster immediately moved his body to the wall next to him—

 Poof!

A crack burst open on his body surface.

 Suddenly, a large amount of unknown black juice spurted out and splashed everywhere!

quickly.

 A thin layer of mud accumulated on the floor of the stone basin.

 “No, keep that filthy, disgusting monster away from me!”

"The same to you!"

 “Get out of here, everyone!”

The soul of the Heavenly Dragon made a furious sound.

Matthew calmly replied:

"I will leave. Whether he leaves or not is up to you."

"If you can calm down and have a good talk with me, I will take him away. If we have a happier chat, I will even be willing to help you clear away those traces... maybe I can help you get out of trouble."

 “Get out of trouble?”

 Tianlong Soul was still very excited. He cursed for a while in a language that Matthew couldn't understand.

 Subsequently.

He said firmly:

"I do not believe you!"

 The voice is still very hard, but it has softened a lot compared to the crazy and angry tone at the beginning.

Seeing this, Matthew signaled the leader of the ooze monster to stop spraying.

 The latter complied obediently.

Tianlong was silent.

Matthew launched the Balance Domain again, and then showed the other party the Heavenly Dragon Brand in his body, as well as the blessing given to him by another section of the Dragon Soul.

 “Are you blessed by other dragon souls?”

Tianlong Soul looked extremely surprised.

Matthew choked without mercy:

“If you had some sense, you would have known about this earlier.”

“I am not anyone’s lackey, and I have nothing to do with the person who deceived you. On the contrary, I have helped other Heavenly Dragon Souls get out of trouble…”

Matthew is not lying.

The reason why the two dragon souls on Junliu Island were able to escape smoothly was because Matthew aroused the aura of the Lord of the Void.

Although it is not the result of the latter’s subjective will, passive help is also help, isn’t it?

"what do you want?"

Tianlong Soul's tone became calmer.

 But Matthew could feel it.

 He ​​still doesn’t trust himself very much. Perhaps each dragon soul has its own personality. Violence and suspicion are the labels of this dragon soul.

Matthew immediately spoke:

 “I want to eradicate this tentacle of Ucruz once and for all.”

Dragon Soul said:

 “It’s not difficult.”

“As long as you help me lift the seal, I can take away the source of void in the tentacle when I leave—that is the source of void power. Without it, this tentacle will be assimilated to the material world sooner or later.”

Matthew raised his eyebrows:

 “The source of void?”

 Longhun said:

"Yes."

 “How can a poison, no matter how poisonous it is, survive for a long time if it has no quantity and no source?”

“If you pour a glass of poisonous wine into the sea, is it still poisonous wine?”

“So the power of ashes has a source. As long as the source can be solved, the rest of the problems will be solved.”

“I have achieved transcendence in the void, and no one has more authority than me to answer questions in this regard.”

Matthew thought for a while:

 “Then how do I remove the seal?”

 Longhun said:

 “Just destroy this pot of mud that’s trapped me.”

“It has certain constraints to me, and it’s a sturdier building to you ordinary people.”

“You don’t have to destroy it completely, as long as you can open a crack in the ceiling, I will take care of the rest!”

Matthew could feel the desire for freedom revealed in the other person’s words.

 At least for now.

Dragon Soul's hostility towards him has dropped to the lowest point since the two met.

So Matthew took the opportunity to ask:

“I have heard different versions of the legend of the five-clawed dragon and the astromancer from different people—

I was told that you were imprisoned here of your own free will.

is this real? "

 Isabel's patron saint and Yu Qi gave different opinions on the seal of Tianlong Soul.

 The former claims that the Seven Stars of Yuanzi are stars formed after the body of Tianlong was broken into pieces;

But the latter told Matthew that the Seven Stars of Yuanzi were the medium through which astrologers gave birth to star power for the Heavenly Dragon Soul.

 As for the dragon soul seal.

The two narratives are also different. Although the patron saint said it very euphemistically, Matthew can also feel that according to his statement, the dragon soul was manipulated and then became part of the seal;

Yu Qi said that it was Tianlong Soul's voluntary agreement and that there was a cooperation agreement between the two parties, but due to the changes in the world, the descendants of the Star Warlock failed to fulfill the agreement.

The Soul of the Heavenly Dragon replied angrily:

 “How could it be voluntary?”

 “This is a complete fraud!”

"I was defeated by him, so I was forced to become part of the seal!"

Matthew was stunned: "Then why did you call me a liar?"

Dragon Soul said angrily:

“Because his claim to have a fair fight with me was a lie!”

“At the beginning, I thought I would only have to deal with a human who had some control over the starlight, but I never thought that I would have to deal with the lackeys that Fenrir cultivated in the human world!”

 “Astromancer Su Xu!”

“I still remember the name of that lackey. He relied heavily on Fenrir’s power to defeat me, who was bodyless and paralyzed, and cut me into seven pieces, sealing them in different corners of the world.”

“After that, he completely separated my body and soul, trying to make the Seven Stars of Yuanzi an independent world, in order to prevent my recovery!”

“Not only is Su Xu a liar, but Fenrir and Ucrus behind him are also liars!”

"It was the two of them who encouraged me to go to the material world. But when I absorbed too many elements of the material world and the door to ascension was tightly closed and was forced to self-destruct, they gloated and hid in the void to spy on this scene. !”

“They were afraid of my power, so they sent out the astrologer Su Xu and people from the so-called Natural Disaster Religion, and they made all kinds of efforts to prevent me from uniting my soul and body and returning to the sky!”

"I can feel that someone is lying on my body sucking the power that belongs to me. It must be those astrologers or scourge cultists!"

"I hate!"

 Is this the truth?

Matthew showed a surprised expression.

 He originally wanted to ask more questions, but soon, he felt the restlessness of the koi fish—

The Soul of the Heavenly Dragon is about to take shape again.

 Matthew did not have much time left.

 So he said decisively:

"You first relax your power, especially the killing areas - the existence of these areas suppresses the effect of my spells."

“I will blast a door open in the ceiling, and after that, I hope you will keep your end of the bargain.”

“It must be blasted away at once, and I will flee from this place as soon as possible, because I am worried that the seal here will backfire on me...”

Five-clawed Heavenly Dragon hesitated for a moment.

finally.

 He still slowly lifted the killing field that enveloped this place.

 However, at the moment when the realm was lifted.

 Matthew’s figure flickered again—

 This time.

 He flashed directly in front of the stone pillar and stretched out his hand towards the surface of the stone pillar.

 The dragon soul was furious:

 “Get out of here—!”

Unfortunately, before he finished speaking, a crack appeared on the surface of the stone pillar, and a golden light flew out from inside, and was caught by Matthew!

 Swish, swish, swish!

 Several flashes in succession.

 Matthew escaped directly to the top of the ceiling.

next moment.

There was a continuous banging sound under the feet.

Even if Matthew didn’t look back, he could still clearly know—

 A huge faucet is constantly hitting the ceiling above the mud pot.

pity.

 What he did was destined to be in vain.

Matthew flew away from the center of the gray lake at extremely fast speed.

  After a while.

 The huge phoenix egg rolled towards the top of the mud pot.

 Completely suppress the rising ceiling!

 …

A few minutes later.

Matthew sent the ooze leader back to the cemetery, and his ears were still filled with the curses of the Dragon Soul.

 “I will let you go, but not now.”

Matthew whispered.

"fraud!"

 “I was indeed right!”

 The dragon soul cursed crazily.

"You lied to me first. There is no source of void in the Mark of the Dead at all, is there?"

Matthew responded unceremoniously.

 Longhun was speechless for a moment.

 Then he cursed even more fiercely.

Matthew simply blocked the spiritual channel initiated by the other party.

 A moment.

The heaven and the earth are quiet.

 He looked at the shining silver sword in his hand with satisfaction—

 This is the goal of Matthew's trip.

 The first time he entered the sealed land, Matthew resonated with the killing sword.

 Thanks to the irritable dragon soul.

Matthew didn't even need to do any tricks, he could just drip blood on the stone pillar naturally, thus gaining a medium to communicate with the sword spirit of the killing sword.

 And just when he and Long Hunxu were at odds with the snake.

 The Killing Sword is frantically asking Matthew to take him away from here.

 And the only way to get out of here.

 It is to let the dragon soul take the initiative to remove the killing field arranged around the stone pillar—

That is also the medium through which the dragon soul summons the killing sword.

 Now it has been successfully destroyed by Matthew.

This all went much smoother than expected.

 As for the Soul of the Heavenly Dragon.

Matthew does not intend to actually breach the contract. Anyway, the old order is already on the verge of collapse, and collapse is the inevitable trend.

Then he wouldn’t mind actually releasing the Heavenly Dragon Soul at some point in time.

 The premise is that the timing must be in line with his wishes.

 He lowered his head to check the attributes of his killing sword. With just one glance, Matthew's face showed a look of surprise:

 “This is not a melee weapon?”

 …

   Sword of Slaughter (Artifact)

 Original owner: Sun God Gerald.

 Category: Spell Sword/Spellcasting Medium/Cannot be used in melee combat!

 Basic attributes: The spell power of the fire or sun domain is increased by 100%;

 Normal attack (no consumption): A series of small fireballs are ejected from the direction pointed by the sword tip.

Note that when spraying small fireballs, a large recoil force will be generated.

 Sword wielders need to pay attention to the posture of holding the sword to prevent wrist fractures or sprains.

 Characteristic 1-Feast of Killing:

Each time the sword wielder causes a successful kill, he will receive a certain amount of souls and crumbs.

 The Soul of Slaughter can permanently enhance the all-round strength of the sword wielder;

 The Shards of Killing can restore certain status to the sword wielder.

 Characteristic 2-Lord of Slaughter:

Those who hold the sword for more than 15 minutes will have a chance to understand the Killing Domain, but also have a certain probability of becoming a servant of the Killing Domain

  Enchantment - Legendary Fireball (you can release a legendary level fireball, and have a certain chance of receiving the blessing of double casting, 3 times a day) -

Projection of the Sun God (you can summon a projection of the Sun God Gerald, which will appear in one of the six more common images of the Sun God, once a week) -

 Legendary Ancestor Soul (you can summon the spirits of three elite tauren at the same time to gain powerful physical fitness and fighting ability) -

 Legendary Seal Breaking (With this magic sword, you can break all legendary and below legendary enchantments, seals, magic circles, cages, etc.) -

 Unknown effect? ? ? (To be unlocked

 …

 In terms of comprehensive attributes, it is quite powerful.

 At least it is worthy of the name of a divine weapon.

The style also fits Matthew’s stereotype of the sun **** Gerald.

What's more, this sword is still in a semi-lost state, its true power has not been activated, and many functions are yet to be unlocked.

 What confused Matthew the most was:

“What is the operation of summoning three tauren spirits at the same time?”

 “Does the Sun God also need the tauren spirit to help improve his martial arts?”

It’s a pity that no one can answer it for him.

Although Peggy awakened the memories of her past life, she kept the contents secret.

Matthew naturally wouldn’t ask too many questions.

 Taking into account the characteristics of the "Lord of Slaughter".

Matthew simply held the magic sword and waited silently.

Who knew it would take less than five minutes.

 The familiar feeling has come to my heart——

 Matthew successfully understood the killing field!

 …

“Tip: With the help of the Sword of Killing, you have successfully understood the field of killing, and your exploration in it has reached the level of a veteran!

 You gain abilities in the following three areas—

  1. Fatal damage: All your attacks are accompanied by slight fatal damage, and the success rate of your fatal damage taking effect is slightly increased.

 The success rate of fatal damage can be accumulated with the success rate of instant death judgment.

Blood Fury: Ignite your own health (at least 1/3). When you charge at the enemy, you gain 3 times the normal speed, and gain 300% damage increase in the next five attacks.

  The higher the proportion of ignited health, the faster your charge speed and the stronger the damage improvement effect.

  3. Eighteen kinds of martial arts (can grow): You can select up to eighteen kinds of weapons as proficient weapons, thereby gaining higher weapon proficiency and judgment priority.

 Given your melee experience, you can currently choose up to 3 weapons as your proficiency weapons.

 You can get more experienced weapon options by investing in killing experience or combat experience!

 Hint: You have selected the new proficiency weapons "Shovel", "Sickle" and "Magic Sword". "

 …

 There are three more abilities that look pretty good.

 Lethal damage can superimpose the success rate of instant death judgment. Although the magnitude is not high, after accumulating many aspects, Matthew's probability of being killed in seconds has increased to a very scary level.

Blood Fury is a bit useless, but it can be regarded as a ferocious method of melee combat in the spell-invalidation barrier.

 As for the Eighteen Martial Arts, it is the ability that Matthew feels is the most practical.

 He will become more proficient in using the weapons on his body in the future.

 This fact actually silently improved his combat power a lot!

 “The benefits brought by the Sword of Killing are unexpectedly many…”

After digesting the gains from the killing field, Matthew couldn't help but look down at the long sword in his hand. At this moment, the golden light emitting from the sword had dissipated, revealing the sword body made of mithril.

 This sword is very soft.

Matthew felt that he could shape it into other shapes with just one hand.

 He played around for a while.

 Then he returned to the cemetery again and stuffed Peggy and others into the contract slot.

 At this time.

Laurent, who had taken a shower and changed his clothes, found Matthew with a serious look on his face:

"problem occurs."

 Matthew thought the other party was joking:

 “When you were taking a shower, your little girlfriends came to see you again?”

Roland coughed:

 “They did come to me.”

“But that’s not what I want to say. I just got a piece of gossip. Well, I’ll share it with you directly!”

 The next second.

These words appeared on Matthew’s data column—

 …

　　　「Grape talk: “Thousand-Change Lord Jia Si Li Wen” escaped from Snail Valley Prison…”

 …

I may not write too many words in these two days, so I will try my best and take a rest.
