Emperor of Arcane

"Why are you still standing there? Hurry and tie them up and send them to the back for a purification ceremony."

Harley Knight shouted at the top of his lungs, with a little worry and uneasiness in his eyes.

He suppressed the sound echoing in his ears, held the slightly shiny golden amulet, looked at the increasingly terrifying bloody figure, roared with all his strength and continued shouting:

"Everyone lowers their heads to clean up the battlefield and prepare for the next battle."

Although he said that, Harley Knight knew very well that the key to this battle was no longer the attack and defense of the city wall.

He didn't know whether there would be a battle or terrible destruction.

But he must at least stabilize the situation, ensure the combat effectiveness of the soldiers, and prepare for the worst and be fully prepared.

343, who frowned, did not have the trouble of auditory hallucinations of flesh and blood.

But she felt at a loss about the current situation.

Thanks to the war golems produced in Blood Moon City and the combat puppets provided by the Gulf Territory, the casualties of the soldiers were not large.

However, she did not have a special force in her hands that could pose any threat to the retreating Hive Tyrant.

This also means that she has no influence on the dangerous situation in the underground ruins.

Such a sense of powerlessness makes 343 helpless and angry!

Various lines and patterns gradually began to be woven into the eyes that were flashing with red light.

Click! Click! Click!

Matthew pushed away the tattered and corroded steel of the ruins. They were once extremely strong and solid and would not be destroyed in the face of the bombardment of the scorching sun.

However, time is the most terrible enemy of all things.

Most objects cannot stop the erosion of time!

Matthew walked through the battlefield filled with corpses and stood on a small slope in the distance, carefully looking at the glowing mage tower in the distance.

This mage tower, which will be called the Lost Tower in the future, has not yet been destroyed.

It is much larger than the average mage tower, and is made entirely of metal, like a square steel building.

The surface of the mage tower is covered with mottled metal patterns.

It releases scorching rays from time to time, accurately hitting the insect swarm monsters that besiege the gap at the bottom.

There were not many insect swarm monsters besieging the mage tower, but each one had a huge size and various strange limbs.

Obviously, the elite units among the insect swarm monsters have been dispatched here.

What attracted Matthew's attention the most was not the scattered members of the Church of Eternal Life, but the large insect swarm base behind them.

This is a set of insect swarm production bases that, although somewhat primitive, have formed a complete combat system.

With such technology in hand, the Church of Eternal Life can create a terrifying and dangerous insect swarm army anywhere.

Seeing this, Matthew already understood the purpose and plan of the Eternal Church.

It is also clear why insect swarm monsters and aberrant zombies, two obviously incompatible monster groups, come together.

"Roar……!"

A deafening roar came from the hollow of the ruins above.

Matthew looked up and saw a terrifying figure emitting red light slowly coming out.

It reached a height of 5 meters, with a pair of long recurved legs, and ferocious twisted spikes growing out of its knee joints.

The thick chitin armor was covered with evil patterns, which twisted slightly as the red light flashed.

The arms with thick and deformed limbs slowly spread out to all sides.

Taking advantage of His body, he emerged from the cave.

The two larger arms behind Him were holding weapons that made Matthew's brows jump.

A long whip made of bones connected together!

A bright red straight knife!

It exudes a strange aura, like a resentful spirit, complaining or crying.

Noticing the strange red light emitting from his body, waves of threats emerged in Matthew's heart, and the consumption of the magic shield suddenly increased significantly.

Bring your own halo!

Body transformation!

Matthew has recognized the "existence" of this monster, which represents the consciousness carrier of the sealed Blood God-Haka.

Although it is not as terrifying as the consciousness carrier of the Scarlet Moon, thanks to the "help" of these fools of the Eternal Life Church, this body possesses extremely terrifying combat power.

This is the Insect Hive Tyrant, one of the monsters that represents the pinnacle of insect swarm combat power.

Although the current insect nest tyrant is far from being modified and debugged to the peak of demigods that Matthew once saw, its numerical strength is already extremely high.

Moreover, he has been transformed by the blood god's consciousness carrier, and his strength and combat effectiveness have reached the peak of the legendary level.

Matthew slowly adjusted his breathing, rechecked the status of the Thunder Armor, and then strode out of the passage under the gaze of the members of the Eternal Church.

The surging thunder made a "crackling" sound.

Like a real dragon's power, it quickly spread to the surroundings.

The insect swarm monsters that were attacking like crazy subconsciously stopped their attacks and looked here warily.

The members of Eternal Life Church did not expect Matthew to be so bold and so decisive in hiding.

They don't like to fight head-on, and they also hope that those who attack are other members of the Eternal Church, or the Hive Tyrant who has already appeared.

As long as you don't take action, there is no risk of injury or death due to combat.

The Hive Tyrant, who was looking around, first glanced at the dim red blood altar, then glanced at the mage tower with flickering spells in the distance, and finally focused his main attention on Matthew.

Matthew felt a lot of pressure, but did not flinch. Instead, he rushed towards the Hive Tyrant.

A set of armor, a clone, just fight, who is afraid of whom?

Boom! Boom! Boom!

The thick thunder armor stepped on the ground one after another, leaving footprints embedded in the ground.

His speed is very fast, his momentum is very strong, and his offensive momentum is very strong.

The hive tyrant, who was standing still, felt the strong sense of threat coming from Matthew. He slowly tightened his grip on the weapon, and his blood-colored ferocious face showed a little bit of pleasure and distortion:

"Ha, a small human being actually dares to challenge..."

"What are you still looking at? Just go ahead!"

"I'm afraid this guy is not a fool, so he should deal with his opponent quickly!"

"Come on!"

The bishop of the Eternal Church who controlled the altar unceremoniously interrupted the Hive Tyrant's opening remarks and gave him the order to launch an attack.

The Hive Tyrant only felt an invisible force of control, suppressing its control over the body, and suddenly aimed at the charging Matthew and ran away.

There was a little anger in its eyes, and it felt endless humiliation. It opened its big mouth and roared wantonly.

"Ha, I didn't expect Eternal Church to be interesting."

Matthew glanced at the red altar and made up his mind that he would study it carefully later.

Seeing the Hive Tyrant charging towards him, Matthew activated his thunder armor with all his strength and faced the bone blade that chopped down.

Bang!

The terrifying impact spread from the confrontation between the two sharp blades.

The violent air flow made a fierce scream.

The ground let out an overwhelmed whine, and network-like lines spread to all sides, but it did not sink.

Matthew's successful release allowed him to immediately understand the power attribute of the Hive Tyrant at this time.

It has about 32 points, which is already a very good data compared to other legendary units.

But for Matthew, the power of the Hive Tyrant is not enough!

Even though the power blessing of the Thunder Armor did not take effect, Matthew's power attribute was increased to 34 points, coupled with the super high power judgment, he still completed the victory in the collision!

"Roar……!"

The Hive Tyrant roared and took two steps back unwillingly.

Looking at Matthew's armor with lightning flashes, the red light in Blood God Haka's eyes became brighter and brighter.

"Ding, I was hit by the legendary high-level power, the protection judgment passed, and the armor protection was not damaged!"

"Ding, it was corroded by the power of the high-level legendary halo, the protection judgment passed, and the armor protection array was not damaged!"

Gaining an advantage in the strength confrontation, Matthew's already sufficient confidence became even higher, and he kept giving himself psychological hints:

"This thing is like this. If it encounters me in its current state, it will definitely lose!"

Logically speaking, Matthew usually maintains an ultra-steady calmness when fighting, so that he can better implement and modify the battle plan.

The reason for the change now is to better realize the protective effect of psychic spells.

When fighting against a monster of the level of the Blood God Haka, one must not be at a disadvantage in terms of combat effectiveness, and one must also ensure adequate mental protection!

After adjusting his condition, Matthew showed no intention of stopping. He continued to move forward and stabbed the Hive Tyrant who was just about to use his force.

The angry Blood God Haka would not have flinched otherwise. He swung his long whip at Matthew with one hand and cut down the other knife resolutely.

Facing attacks from both sides, Matthew raised his hand towards the Blood God Haka.

A scorching fireball instantly hit its face!

Bang!

The blood god Haka was in pain and couldn't help but close his eyes tightly.

However, its injured and attacking movements did not change. It seemed to be able to sense Matthew's location and pursue and slash at him fiercely.

With 30 points of agility that reached the extraordinary limit, Matthew easily dodged its attack and used his low body to press into its abdomen.

Click!

The sharp ghost knife, with its high destructive power, forcibly split open the thick armor of Blood God Haka.

Thick blood spurted out, but they rushed toward Matthew like living creatures.

Unfortunately, Matthew had expected this scene.

As he dodged sideways, the violent thunder followed the scimitar and slashed into the waist of Blood God Haka.

Crackling!

Violent thunder and lightning poured into it, and Blood God Haka's movements suddenly froze.

He watched helplessly as Matthew walked around behind Him and slashed him with a knife without hesitation.

Blood God Hakkar was still unable to withstand the Catachan Demon's fangs, and was split open with a huge wound.

The moment Matthew pulled back.

A twisted mouth made of blood sprang out from the wound and bit his head hard.

Matthew, who had been prepared for a long time, calmly raised his palm, and the surging magic power gathered.

A dark purple magic sword plunged into the bloody mouth.

Seventh Ring Spell - Mordenkainen's Sword!

Bang!

Rich blood exploded.

The Sword of Mordenkainen was like a living thing, burrowing directly into the abdomen of the Blood God Hakkar, constantly cutting and destroying according to Matthew's will.

Whoops!

Blood spurted out and debris flew.

Blood God Hakkar screamed and reached out to grab the sword of Mordenkainen that was pierced into his abdomen.

Matthew controlled Mordenkainen's sword and thrust it deeply into His chest.

Even though it was caught by His inserted hand and shattered, it still caused enough damage to the inside of Blood God Haka's body.

The angry Blood God Haka stepped up his attack on Matthew, attacking with four arms at the same time.

Matthew's reaction was completely beyond his expectation.

He had no intention of running away, but instead walked around to the other side of His waist.

Blood God Haka, who forcibly turned around, swung his knife at Matthew again.

Bang!

The flying sparks illuminated the distorted face of Blood God Haka, and also illuminated Matthew's clear and calm smile.

He could clearly feel that the power of Blood God Haka had been improved to a certain extent.

This shows that Blood God Haka is consciously strengthening his power!

Maybe it won't be long before Blood God Haka's power attribute will catch up with Matthew, or even surpass it!

Matthew didn't seem to care. He suppressed the explosion of Blood God Haka with the help of collision, rushed to his newly healed abdomen, and gave him another vicious blow!

Bang!

He opened the wound, dodged the blood attack, and threw in a Mordenkainen sword!

Their battles were fierce and swift.

Whether it was collisions or roars, there was quite a commotion.

The members of the Eternal Church found in disbelief that the Blood God Haka, whom they regarded as their trump card, not only failed to quickly deal with Matthew, but was even at a disadvantage in the battle.

This made the members of the Eternal Church become impatient and invested more troops in the siege of the Mage Tower, trying to break it as quickly as possible.

City Lord Anne, who noticed Matthew's arrival, felt inexplicably moved in her heart, and at the same time, her pressure suddenly became much less intense.

She can devote part of her accumulated strength to defense, reducing the losses caused by defense, thereby achieving higher defensive intensity.

The fight lasted about two minutes.

Even though the body of the Hive Tyrant had super strong recovery capabilities, it became scarred and dilapidated under Matthew's violent and intense attack.

"Roar……!"

Blood God Haka roared angrily.

The red light surging in the body continued to shrink, accumulating on the thick muscles.

His body began to become stronger and stronger, and his twisted limbs became more shocking.

The strength and defense intensity have risen to a new level visibly to the naked eye.

Without any hesitation, Matthew adjusted his attack method very decisively, nimbly stepped to one side, and continued to fight with the Blood God Haka.

Blood God Haka was very powerful in combat at this time, but he couldn't catch up with Matthew.

His agility and attack speed were obviously inferior.

Matthew's strength is not much different from Him, relying on his excellent fighting skills.

In a power confrontation with Him.

Matthew was able to move lightly, move around to the most suitable attack position, and continue to inflict heavy damage to Blood God Haka.

Although Blood God Haka's defense ability has been improved, he still can't withstand Matthew and hits hard with all his strength.

After a while, Blood God Haka's powerful body could no longer recover, and he could only selectively recover some injuries.

Bang!

After the rapid blow, Matthew regained his footing, slowly adjusted his breathing, and calmly stared at the blood god Haka, whose red light became more and more dazzling.

"Your current strength is too weak, you should continue to become stronger!"

Matthew’s voice spread very widely, and the faces of the members of the Eternal Church immediately changed.

They noticed that Blood God Haka was getting stronger and stronger, and they clearly felt that his strength had broken through to another level, but they still could not defeat Matthew.

This makes them feel very difficult.

If they continue to indulge Blood God Haka to strengthen their body, then they will not be able to control Blood God Haka as easily as they do now.

But if Matthew is not defeated, they will attack the mage tower with all their strength!

If you can't recapture the mage tower, lift the seal as quickly as possible.

Then they spent a lot of manpower and material resources, exposed many trump cards, and the huge price they paid for this will all be in vain.

Matthew tightened his grip on the long knife, took a deep breath, and felt the blood god Haka's growing momentum, his eyes falling on his gradually dimming red light.

"Sure enough, the stronger the Hive Tyrant is, the greater the cost of improving him!"

"Even if the Blood God Hakkar wants to complete the arbitrary transformation of the Hive Tyrant, it will inevitably cost a huge price."

If the Blood God Hakkar is in his prime, then Matthew believes he can indeed do it.

But now, he is still in a sealed state, and all these powers from the Hive Tyrant were temporarily taken away.

Matthew absolutely does not believe that He can do whatever he wants by relying on these powers!

Therefore, when Blood God Haka completed another body strengthening, Matthew stepped forward decisively.

This is a great time to collect data and test your own strength.

After spending tens of millions of gold coins, Matthew must listen to it!

However, Matthew did not confront the Blood God Haka this time.

He simply distanced himself and raised his hand calmly. The bright and flickering mana fluctuations were becoming more and more dazzling.

Boom!

The rotating fireballs flew towards the Blood God Haka one after another.

The extremely penetrating fireball technique blasted holes into the body of Blood God Haka.

The blood god Haka, roaring in pain, began to chase Matthew.

Although his speed was faster and his explosive power became stronger, he was always unable to touch Matthew. Instead, he was scorched black by his spells and roared in vain.

Matthew's seemingly clumsy body is actually very fast and extremely agile. He can always complete the next attack or dodge the moment the Blood God Haka approaches.

Boom!

After another head-on collision, Matthew flew out heavily.

He stepped hard on the ground and stabilized his body. He looked at the gradually damaged Thunder Armor and the increasingly stronger Blood God Haka, and shrugged his shoulders expectantly.

If it were an ordinary person, he would have died countless times after suffering such a serious injury.

But the blood god Haka, with his super recovery ability and the supplement of power absorbed from the ground fungi, can quickly recover from his injuries.

Matthew is still able to carry him now, all thanks to the increase in tonnage and resistance brought by the Thunder Armor.

Even if Matthew's physical attributes were stronger, facing the body of Blood God Haka, the insect hive tyrant at this time, he could not completely bear it and could only resort to swimming.

Although Matthew does not have thunder armor, he can still entangle with the opponent for a certain period of time.

But he can't stop him from approaching the mage tower, so Matthew must resist!

However, once the Thunder Armor is damaged, the situation will change irreversibly.

This is also the reason why Matthew chooses to attack from a distance!

He must hold on longer!

The manic blood god Haka stared at the expressionless Matthew.

He had never seen a human being like Matthew. His small body contained unspeakable terrifying power.

That's all. It's very fast and can cast spells at the same time. There are absolutely no shortcomings.

He had a vague hunch that if Matthew were stronger, he would pose a fatal threat to him...

Blood God Haka also realized the role of Matthew's thunder armor, seized the opportunity, and worked hard to confront him head-on.

Matthew naturally understood his intentions and had no intention of backing down. He continued to hold him back with all his strength and accumulate this level of combat experience.

However, in order to restore mana, Matthew did not hesitate to lead the two of them to the swarm base.

Just the aftermath of the battle between the two sides can destroy these huge insect nest buildings.

At the beginning, Matthew thought that the Hive Tyrant was not willing to cooperate with him.

However, he soon discovered that the insect hive tyrant still had his own ideas, and even deliberately caused some damage to these insect hive buildings.

Realizing this, the members of the Eternal Church immediately issued a retreat order to the Hive Tyrant.

"What is this guy doing? He is too stupid!"

"If the insect nest building is destroyed and we lose the ability to produce insect swarm weapons, he will not be able to break through the seal!"

"Tell him to leave quickly and come over to attack the mage tower!"

"Don't worry about this guy anymore. We must destroy the mage tower as soon as possible, even if we lose all the insect swarm weapons!"

"This is really going to happen, we can't delay it any longer!"

"The zombie monsters outside have lost their offensive capabilities, and there is not much flesh, flesh and energy stored in the altar..."

"Let's do it! Attack with all our strength!"

"..."

The angry Blood God Hakkar retreated backwards, the resentment and humiliation in his eyes turning into reality.

For a being of his level, he would rather remain sealed than be controlled by a creature like a human being.

Even though these ugly guys have lost their human form, Blood God Haka can smell the cowardice and greed deep in their souls!

Instead, he is looking forward to Matthew being able to eliminate all the insect nest bases and have another hearty fight!

Coincidentally, Matthew did think so!

He did not chase the insect hive tyrant who attacked the mage tower, but simply opened fire on the insect hive base with all his strength.

The insect nest base, which lacks enough defensive units, is completely unable to block the attack of Matthew's range spell.

The burning flames set the entire insect nest base on fire.

Matthew could clearly feel that when he destroyed the largest insect nest building, which was like a mountain of meat, the fungus carpet under his feet let out a painful whine.

However, Matthew was unmoved. These insect swarm monsters had brutally killed so many creatures, and they deserved to die!

Their slaughter of other creatures is not limited to humans and flesh and blood creatures.

The entire land parasitized by them will die, because all the microorganisms and nutrients have been devoured by them.

Matthew once considered controlling them to fight for him, but he quickly rejected the idea.

As his strength becomes stronger and stronger, his professional level has also reached the peak of high-level.

Matthew had a feeling that he was going to improve his strength in the future.

His actions and thoughts will further temper his soul and will.

To put it simply, the stronger the professional, the clearer the understanding of his own goals and ideas.

They generally don't move around.

Otherwise, they would not have enough perseverance, determination, and ability to complete the breakthrough into the extraordinary level.

Therefore, Matthew would not try to control this biological weapon just for the sake of the insect swarm monster's combat effectiveness.

Wherever the swarm went, they left behind nothing but destruction and plunder.

This is the limitation of a single species!

However, this does not mean that Matthew cannot use insect swarm creatures, but he will carefully select and transform them.

In terms of combat, professionals with the ability to learn and grow are the combat units that Matthew values ​​the most.

Because growth represents infinite possibilities!

Whoops!

The blazing flames engulfed the remaining insect nest base. Matthew hastily collected some samples and quickly rushed to the mage tower.

There, the controlled Blood God Haka had forcefully opened the door of the mage tower and violently entered it.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

Blood God Hakkar wielded a huge bone blade and chopped off a metal arm.

Without flinching, the steel golem stretched out his hand to grab the long whip, and even if it opened a ferocious gap, he still held it with all his strength.

Other steel golems swarmed in, raised their heavy fists, and attacked the Blood God Hakkar with all their strength.

However, their attack capabilities are very average, and they are almost unable to cause threatening damage to the Blood God Haka.

At most, it can only create a little dent, which can be quickly restored by devouring flesh and blood.

And its attack on the steel golem has a crushing and destructive destructive effect.

A few hits can split the steel golem's protection and severely damage their control core.

Even so, a steel golem with powerful combat capabilities faced the devastating attack of the Blood God Haka without any fear or hesitation, and lined up to greet it.

Even though they are executing the established procedures, they still give people an inexplicable sense of tragedy.

Anne, who was at the bottom of the mage tower, forced herself not to look at the strange red light emitting from the seal behind her, and without hesitation gave the order for the entire army to attack.

Even if these constructs cannot stop the blood god Haka, they must delay it for a long enough time.

She doesn't want to be able to drag Matthew back, she just wants to complete the final destruction process of the Mage Tower!

The establishment of Blood Moon City is inseparable from the excavation of this large underground ruins.

However, the various dangers contained in the underground ruins also make the Yaoyue family and other major families who are in charge of the development feel wary.

Especially this fatal seal, which almost caused a horrific catastrophe.

The Yaoyue family and the major families in the Eastern Province spent a huge price to re-strengthen the unstable seal.

In order to prevent the seal from being opened, such a powerful defensive mage tower was deliberately built in the underground ruins.

Moreover, they also made final preparations.

If the seal begins to fail and the effect cannot be maintained no matter how much repair is done, the final destruction process can be initiated.

It will destroy the sealed objects, as well as the entire underground ruins of Blood Moon City.

As for why not just destroy it?

The reason is simple. The excavation output of this large area of ​​ruins at that time provided countless huge benefits to the major families.

Money attracts people's hearts, so naturally they are reluctant to destroy such a cornucopia!

However, as time goes by, the power of the major families has grown tremendously.

They no longer rely on the output of the ruins, but instead fear the various dangers that appear in the ruins.

Taking advantage of the opportunity of the large-scale development of the eastern province, the main bodies of the major families gradually left Blood Moon City, leaving only a few branches and spokesmen.

Like the Allards and the Carlyles.

However, the problems in Blood Moon City had to be presided over and dealt with by someone.

This becomes a hot potato, a proverbial chore.

For some reason, Annie had a conflict with her family and chose to come to Bloodmoon City to take on this dangerous mission.

Anne didn't pay any attention to the situation of the excavation of the ruins.

As long as the adventurers didn't disturb the mage tower or her research in the laboratory, she didn't think it was a big deal.

However, it was precisely because of Anne's negligence that fatal flaws occurred in the underground mage tower, which was infiltrated by family members controlled by the Eternal Church.

Fortunately, Anne still has one last chance to redeem herself.

Although she was very reluctant and her research that she had been thinking about had reached a crucial point, she still made up her mind without hesitation.

This is her mission and her commitment!

Maybe, this is her destiny!

With her mind empty, Anne stopped thinking about those annoying things, various studies and problems as usual.

Instead, he silently stared at the members of the Eternal Life Church who were getting closer and closer, with a little bit of disdain and indifference in his eyes.

"Living like maggots, lingering as parasites, what's the point of living like this?"

The only thing that surprised Anne was Matthew who destroyed the insect nest base.

Even after receiving her communication, he did not escape, but ran towards her location.

In front of Matthew, a large group of angry elite insect monsters were baring their teeth and claws at him.

The members of the Eternal Life Church who had long hated him to the bone were also gnashing their teeth as they watched him die!

"Don't die, wait for me to save you!"

Anne blinked strangely, and for a moment she couldn't tell what she felt in her heart.

She watched Matthew rush into the swarm of insect monsters and cut a bloody path, his body covered with blood and dirt, and couldn't help but frown:

"This guy, why are you working so hard!"

Naturally, Matthew didn't know what Annie was thinking at this time. Even if he knew, he would only smile and say to her:

"You are my partner, and we still have a big deal to discuss!"

He swung his knife to chop off the head of a giant wolf spider, avoiding the bite of the fangs of the elite hound, and just rushed into the mage tower that was full of wreckage.

A cold light appeared quietly behind him.

Click!

The sturdy thunder armor was directly pierced, and the long sword emitting dazzling light was thrust out from Matthew's chest.

Poof!

Blood mist spurted out, and Matthew, whose heart was pierced, was "stunned" on the spot.

The attacker, who was afraid of his desperate fight, immediately drew his sword and left.

He slowly emerged from the passage 20 meters away.

Gorgeous armor, bright sword, weird movement skills!

Sword Master Hess!

"Kol elf?"

Matthew stood up slowly, his face was pale and he pursed his lips:

"You guys finally showed up..."
