The necromancer just wants to plant trees

…

"Huh?"

The moment he saw the figures dressed as mages, Matthew felt a strong sense of familiarity.

This sense of familiarity is not with this group of mages themselves.

But for the ether flowing in their bodies and the surrounding environment!

Two seconds later.

The sky fire surged and rolled, and the red fire cloud slowly descended like a forbidden curse to destroy the world, as if it was going to burn the entire shadow castle in the next moment.

The mages, however, looked undaunted.

One of the skinny mage took the initiative to fly forward seven or eight meters.

He wore a thick black mask on his face, and only two rough holes were dug in the eye sockets, allowing people to see his slightly small eyes.

"Your profanity?"

"When did the Queen of Desire also master Baator's Skyfire Domain?"

The man's voice was very young, but there was a strong sense of ridicule in his tone:

"Or is this just a bad illusion?"

The words fell.

A short low whistle suddenly erupted from his Adam's apple!

In an instant.

A large amount of ether emerged from his chest and abdomen.

The strong wind blew up his mage's robe from bottom to top. In the fierce wind, countless tiny magic runes stabbed towards the fire clouds in the sky like sharp blades.

It didn't take long.

The strong wind carried the sharp blade and collided with the sky fire.

The two sides just collided.

The "Sky Fire" that was so powerful just now disappeared in an instant!

""Wind-Breaking Curse"? "

Matthew's mood became a little subtle.

On the one hand, he could finally confirm the source of that familiar feeling——

The other party was using the Seven Saints Alliance's famous illusion counter-attack spell, the Wind-Breaking Curse.

This is not a particularly rare spell. It only costs a few points to learn, and it has an extremely powerful effect against illusions.

The reason why Matthew didn't learn.

It's just because this spell has certain requirements for the field that the mage is good at.

You must have considerable attainments in both the fields of illusion and evocation to master them and perform well in actual combat.

Obviously.

Neither of these areas has much to do with Matthew.

On the other hand.

"The other party is a mage from the Seven Saints Alliance..."

This is where Matthew's mixed feelings come from.

The Alliance Mage actually sides with the Lord of Darkness?

And according to Gracia, the Lord of Darkness, Beckmann, is in cahoots with Jia Siliwen, Galan and Babasha?

Matthew would love to see dog eat dog on both sides.

But when people from the alliance sneak in, the situation becomes even more confusing.

Matthew is eager to find out whether this is the private action of this group of mages, or does it represent the will of a high-ranking legend or even a divine mage?

And the other side.

Gracia obviously also noticed the origin of the other party:

"Seven Saints Alliance?"

"Which one of the Seven Sages is your teacher?"

The man smiled and said nothing:

"I don't know what you're talking about."

The Queen of Desire snorted coldly.

The next second.

She gently picked off a bright red flower on her shoulder, then stuck out her tongue, rolled it into her mouth and chewed it carefully.

at the same time.

A series of extremely profound pictures were reflected in her pupils——

in the screen.

A large number of red flowers grew on the bodies of those mages, and their bodies became the cultivation soil for the bright red flowers. Although they did not die, they could only bear the squeeze and absorption of these flowers of purgatory forever!

"Profanity: curse the flowers"!

Matthew knows.

This is a quite powerful curse, and when released in the hands of Gracia, the effect is definitely better than that of ordinary legends.

It can absorb the physical strength, energy, mental power, etc. of the living body, but the most terrifying thing is that it can swallow the mana of the living body.

This curse was originally developed to combat mages.

Once entangled by these flowers, even if you do not lose the ability to move on the spot, a lot of mana will gradually be consumed later, which is a very bad signal for mages.

In fact.

Matthew has noticed that dry flower bones have begun to appear on the bodies of many mages on the city wall!

However, these mages behaved quite calmly.

No one was alarmed by this.

They just silently add some resistance and buff spells to themselves and their companions.

A few seconds later.

Their leader stood up again.

He mocked disdainfully:

"Are these the only means?"

Then he turned his head in a large circle around his neck. When he reached the second circle, his head was suddenly torn off!

The head bounced twice in the mage's hand and suddenly disappeared.

Immediately afterwards.

Countless similar heads actually emerged from the body of the Queen of Desire.

They madly bit at every part of Gracia's body, not only her clothes and flesh, but also the images that appeared in her pupils were devoured by those heads!

"roll!"

Gracia shouted angrily.

In an instant.

Countless black flames surged across her body.

Her body has also changed from the size of a normal person to more than three meters tall. The three pairs of wings slowly opening on her back indicate that the Queen of Desire has already unfolded her unique second form!

But that head is also very cunning.

Facing Gracia, whose attributes in all aspects suddenly soared, he did not hesitate to fight. Instead, after chewing up most of the cursed flowers, he quietly turned into powder and disappeared.

After a while.

The mage's head returned to its original position.

The battlefield temporarily calmed down, as if the tense and dangerous spell confrontation just now had never happened at all.

"The Parasitic Skull."

"So you are a student of Ekmund."

Gracia's tone was much calmer than Matthew expected:

"Your strength is not bad, but you are more restless than I thought."

"I thought it would take at least two or three rounds to test your origin."

The mage chuckled and said:

"Is there a possibility that I don't intend to hide my identity seriously?"

Gracia sneered:

"Then tell me your name!"

The mage slowly took off his heavy visor, revealing an overly young face——

He looked like the boy next door, as if he was only fifteen or sixteen years old, and his face was extremely childish.

Only the smart eyes in the small sockets occasionally reveal a hint of maturity and wisdom that is inconsistent with the appearance.

"My name is Aylin, and I am a wild mage."

"By the way, the Parasitic Skull spell is not exclusive to Mr. Ekmund. In fact, its prototype comes from an alien spell."

Wild mage?

Not to mention the evil queen with a sinister face.

Even Matthew who was watching would not believe it!

"How can a wild mage have such strength? This kid's fooling around is too confusing..."

He couldn't help but curl his lips.

Matthew was not familiar with the name Ailin, but he had some impression——

This is a young prospect who has risen quickly in the North after a big tear.

Aylin was initially suspected to be an academic mage on the same path as Hibbert, but he withdrew from the Far North Floating City for various reasons many years ago. Ostensibly he was expelled from the Seven Saints Alliance and became a free mage.

So it's not wrong for him to call himself a wild mage.

But Matthew had learned about it from the gossip told by the mechanical dwarf David.

After Aylin left the alliance, he actually joined Ekmund's secret mage organization, the "Snake Mountain Society."

The same organization that Matthew refused to join.

It is unknown what kind of opportunities he got in the Snake Mountain Club afterwards.

He only knew about it for nearly half a year.

Arryn is quite active in the north.

His famous battle was at the junction of the Arctic Icefield and the Far East, where he defeated seven ancient evil spirits who crawled out of the Far East in one go.

And in that battle.

It is said that Aelin grabbed seven lava swords from Mount Elmore behind him and crucified the seven-headed evil demons one by one.

Therefore, he was called the "Volcano Mage" by northern poets.

Interesting thing.

Matthew is no stranger to Mount Elmore.

He had previously visited Ekmund's Serpent's Tooth Castle, which is located on Mount Elmore.

This is equivalent to the Volcano Mage's battle for fame being fought under Ekmund's nose.

Both sides said they didn’t know each other.

That's a bit cheeky.

Not to mention that he also used Ekmund's signature spell in front of the Queen of Desire, which was a bit too straightforward.

really.

Gracia asked with a solemn tone:

"Is Ekmund trying to intervene in the war in Purgatory?"

"Or is it that the Alliance of Seven Saints has reached an agreement with the Thongluo gods?"

A look of deep helplessness immediately appeared on Aylin's face:

"First of all, I don't know Ekmund."

"Secondly, I did join the Seven Saints Alliance, but I quit a long time ago. Now I have nothing to do with the alliance. Of course, you can't force the association with me."

"In the end, the actions of my friends and I only represent individuals, and everything is just collecting money to do things..."

The end.

He also winked:

"By the way, let me tell you secretly that in the defense contract we signed with Mr. Beckmann, we are only responsible for fighting against the long-range spell interference of your Excellency and other devil lords."

"If you use close range or physical attacks, we will not interfere. You can rest assured that we are quite professional."

Gracia's face turned gloomy upon hearing this.

However, she did not continue to struggle with Aylin. Instead, she took the recruiting flag from the back of the purgatory war beast!

"Come on, war!"

"Come on, Flame!"

She waved the flag of recruitment vigorously.

Countless haloes fell.

The morale of the devil army has once again improved to another level.

The next second.

A vanguard force emerged from the crowd and rushed towards the gate of the Shadow Castle at extremely fast speeds.

The army then slowly moved forward, approaching step by step.

at the same time.

More portals also appeared on both wings of the demon army.

Among them, the portal in the north leads to the plane of air elements, and more air elements merge into the coalition forces.

Highly armed tanks and airships rushed out of the southern door.

These armed units exude a sense of sophistication and technology, and they don't seem to come from the same era as Gracia's devil army.

at the same time.

Matthew also noticed that they had their own independent battle flag.

"That's the flag of Iron Archduke Bain!"

He was somewhat surprised.

The discord between the three giants of Baator Purgatory is almost a secret known to everyone.

Gracia's army and the Iron Duke's chariot appeared on the battlefield at the same time. Not only did the two sides not stand together, but they could actually fight side by side?

This is simply unbelievable!

"Could it be that the Will of the Blood River secretly prompted Gracia and Byrne to join forces?"

"But why does Blood River Will do this?"

"Is it Beckmann's plan that threatens Purgatory?"

A moment.

Matthew thought a lot.

However, the situation on the battlefield will not come to a standstill just because of his thinking.

In fact.

Just after Gracia waved the flag of recruitment and led the troops of the air element and the Iron Duke to launch a full-scale attack.

The battlefield in front of the Shadow Castle quickly entered a white-hot state.

A large number of shadow creatures rushed out of the castle.

Fight with the devil's vanguard.

Someone is dying every minute!

"Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu"

Matthew heard the low sound of a trumpet coming from the castle.

After a while.

More doors were opened from the inside out.

Except for the mages headed by Aylin who are still wandering on the city wall.

Powerful auras began to appear on the battlefield from the core of the shadow——

The first is a centaur demon surrounded by a group of astral beings.

Matthew recognized her true identity at a glance:

"Another eight-faced soul of Jia Siliwen..."

Then came a small army of monsters composed of alien creatures. Matthew noticed the aura of the Evil Queen Barbassa in the group of monsters, but did not capture its specific location.

And closer to the shadows.

A group of evil monks appear with weird tattoos on their heads and necks.

Unlike normal monks who prefer to move on foot.

This group of evil monks rides on shadow slugs one after another.

These slugs move extremely fast, especially in shadowed areas, and can even achieve a teleportation effect.

Matthew sensed several existences with high threat index among them.

I just don’t know if it’s an elite character under Gai Lan, or a projection or clone of Gai Lan himself!

For a while.

The demon army, steel chariots, air elemental soldiers, demon squads, alien creatures, shadow creatures and believers of dusk creations fought together crazily.

The battlefield outside the castle has become extremely chaotic!

"Sure enough, Gai Lan, Babasha, and Jia Siliwen came together, and they got in touch with Beckmann in some way."

"If Gracia is here for Bato's corner, then what is Beckmann's purpose?"

In chaos.

Matthew was paddling while avoiding possible attacks, while still trying to maintain detailed observation and thinking of the situation.

But at this moment.

Suddenly there was a gust of wind behind him——

A shadowy creature that didn't know whether to live or die suddenly appeared behind him and wanted to attack Matthew.

Before Matthew could take action.

A huge meteor hammer suddenly fell next to it!

"You are welcome."

Carmela didn't even look at the place where the meteor hammer landed, and planned to attack another group of shadow creatures that were surrounding her.

But Matthew immediately stopped her:

"etc."

Said.

He came to the place where the shadow creature had just appeared, and his perception was spread out with all his strength:

"Take care of it for me..."

"Here, there should be a node from the shadow plane..."
