A Necromancer Who Just Wants to Plant Trees

Chapter 2027: 588 Shadow Contract Spirit and the Woodland Gate

…

“Matthew?”

The people of Baiyan City looked in horror at the figure that suddenly appeared in the center of the Black Fire.

However, before they could react,

more residual flames came crashing down on their faces.

A spellcaster from Baiyan City tried to cast a shield spell to block Gordon’s fire, only to have his soul instantly obliterated by the Black Fire!

The rest were so frightened that their souls nearly left their bodies.

They each used their own methods to flee in panic, but eventually, five unlucky ones were burned to death by the remnants of Gordon’s fire.

As they watched this scene,

the expressions of the people of Baiyan City were extremely grave.

Yet Matthew calmly gathered the remaining black flames, knowing how precious they were. Each use consumed a large amount of mental power, so not a bit could be wasted.

This ambush’s effect was entirely due to Gordon’s fire’s powerful attributes.

First,

when Coco eavesdropped on the Baiyan City’s conversations, Matthew sensed Gordon’s fire eager to act.

So he tried releasing a sliver of the Black Fire.

Then he was surprised to find,

the status bar for Gordon’s fire gained two entirely new traits!

…

“Lethal Pursuit: Anyone killed by Gordon’s fire who reincarnates in this world, if they come within three kilometers of you, you can forcibly lock their Spiritual Space through Gordon’s fire and perform targeted tracking and destruction!”

“Teleportation: Your main body can instantly appear anywhere there are flames of Gordon’s fire.”

…

Matthew surmised that the evolution of Gordon’s fire might be related to his acquisition of the Eternal Domain.

No matter how,

once these two traits appeared,

the fate of Jaslivan’s new legendary doppelganger was sealed.

After all, she had already been killed by Gordon’s fire once, hadn’t she?

This Black Fire was so fierce that even Matthew himself was astonished—

“It actually has attributes specifically for hunting and killing the reincarnated.”

“Could it be that under the circumstances Gordon’s fire was created, most of those killed would reincarnate?”

“But the issue is Gordon’s fire burns on the soul level. Jaslivan was only able to cling on through the Eight-faced Soul under special conditions, but how did the others manage it?”

Matthew was deeply curious.

In truth, Jaslivan still had a chance to escape just now.

The moment the Black Fire locked onto her,

due to Matthew’s inexperience, there was a pause and testing for several seconds.

Yet Jaslivan failed to notice.

It could be that this hunting skill was too insidious for a normal person to react to.

By the time the Black Fire scorched her soul again,

she was completely trapped with no escape.

Her body became fuel for Gordon’s fire, and Matthew took the opportunity to detonate Jaslivan’s corpse, taking down some additional enemies.

The only regret was,

he couldn’t wound Dammon and Demmo, those quick-reacting fellows.

From now on, Matthew couldn’t randomly use this ability.

If he did so again,

his Focus would plummet, placing him in a very dangerous situation.

“From Jaslivan’s recent reaction, she really had no clue how her previous self died at my hands.”

“This suggests my assumption was right, that the ‘Eight-faced Soul’ can only share personality and memory under limited conditions. They sense each other but can’t easily connect without direct contact.”

“In such a case… having obliterated two of her doppelgangers consecutively, next encounter, Jaslivan might just tuck her tail and run.”

Matthew’s lips curled slightly, wearing a calm and confident smile.

Unknowingly,

even the so-called Lord of the Thousand Transformer could no longer pose any threat to him.

This even allowed him to ignore Jaslivan’s existence.

This feeling made Matthew think of Isabelle.

Perhaps for her,

apart from a few limited people, no one else in this world could threaten her.

No wonder she could act so freely.

“This feeling is truly intoxicating.”

“This is supernatural power…”

As he pondered,

Matthew waved his hand and sent out a series of simple spells through magic armor—

these spells were without consumption for him.

He didn’t expect these spells to cause much damage.

They mainly served to probe the spellcasting abilities of the Baiyan City spellcasters in this environment.

Especially Demmo, the legendary mage.

Of course,

it would be better if one could accidentally trigger some pre-prepared Counterspell.

Rumbling sounds followed.

In this Etydry land, it had been ages since such a scene of magical energies flying everywhere appeared.

Compared to the commotion within the barrier,

the scale here was much smaller.

Yet the pressure Matthew alone brought to the people of Baiyan City was considerable.

They looked at him with eyes full of vigilance and trepidation.

After all, no one expected Jaslivan to be killed in an instant!

However much Matthew admitted his battle techniques were particularly effective against Jaslivan.

The more he did,

the more everyone doubted and feared.

Apart from the leaders Demmo and Dammon, everyone else had lost their will to fight.

Matthew seemed to embody fear itself.

If they could,

they would have fled in all directions!

“What are you afraid of?”

Dammon, having just healed his arm injury, now bravely stood up.
