Chapter 8: Necromancer's Brand!
"I won't let you down!"
Scarface turned his head to take a look.
Then, he began to accelerate.
Within a few breaths.
He successfully crossed the line of defense built by the skeleton soldiers!
That damned necromancer.
It was already right in front of him!
"Go to hell…"
Scarface grinned as he launched his final charge.
However, in the next second.
His eyes widened.
He saw the necromancer suddenly raise his left hand that had been hidden under his robe.
A thin layer of cloth slid down Matthew's arm.
Under the moonlight.
An exquisite crossbow appeared under the Mist Robe!
The tip of the arrow was still glowing green.
Scarface's sinister smile instantly froze.
Whoosh!
The arrow hit his chest.
Scarface, who was sprinting, suddenly staggered.
After falling, he rolled down the hill weakly.
..
"The crossbow is indeed a reliable partner for spellcasters on their path of growth."
Matthew skillfully reloaded the crossbow.
The performance of these arsonists exceeded his expectations.
Fortunately, he had more than one trick up his sleeve.
After getting rid of Scarface, the threat of the small fries disappeared.
Under Matthew's command, the skeleton soldiers retreated and pushed forward step by step.
The remaining three followers barely managed to meet up with Heiss in a panic.
But Peggy had already outflanked him from behind.
A solid encirclement was formed.
Seeing this scene, Matthew still felt that it was not safe enough.
There was actually resistance in the eyes of the enemies.
It seemed like the pressure was not enough!
"Why don't we try the signature move of the necromancer?"
Matthew cleared his throat.
He tried to make an evil and hoarse voice that was described in the online novels he had read before.
"Hee hee, looks like you want to become my servants… Hehe…"
The effect of this move was surprisingly good.
The followers instantly thought of how their bones would be harvested after they died.
The will of the followers instantly collapsed.
They began to scatter and flee.
However, at this moment, the rotting sacs on their bodies had already spread to their skin, and even their eyelids were covered by a thin layer of blood membrane!
Because they could not see the road clearly, they could only run like headless flies, which provided great convenience for the skeleton soldiers to clean up the mess.
After a while.
Three of Heiss' followers were killed one after another.
At this point, the only enemy left was " Heiss the Arsonist "!
Matthew was not careless.
This guy was a real 3rd rank adventurer and most likely an elite. Under normal circumstances, Peggy might not be able to win against him in a 1v1.
He chose a more stable ending strategy.
..
Halfway up the hill.
The fire gradually died out.
Heiss glared at Matthew with a bloody face.
Behind him was a Tauren skeleton with a bone blade and terrifying combat strength.
In front of him was a team of fully equipped skeleton soldiers.
This necromancer's army was enough to take down a small town. But he used it to deal with a single arsonist and his subordinates.
Heiss felt very aggrieved.
He really wanted to ask this necromancer what was wrong with him.
However, his rationality told him that this was meaningless.
'The individual quality of the skeleton soldiers is insufficient. Perhaps we can try to catch them off guard…'
This thought ran through Heiss 'mind.
But he quickly dismissed it.
He looked at the crossbow in the Necromancer's hand with fear.
A strong sense of unwillingness appeared in his eyes.
Whoosh.
He scratched his extremely itchy cheek in frustration.
'In my current state, I can't guarantee that I can kill the enemy with a critical strike... He's lucky!'
He quickly took two steps to the side.
It was right next to the almost extinguished wall of fire.
Then, he took out a bottle of purple-green potion and gulped it down!
"Coo coo coo!"
Heiss drank very quickly.
When there was only half left.
He stopped moving.
"The next time we meet, I will burn your bones and scatter your ashes!"
He threw out a vicious sentence.
Heiss turned around and ran down the hill!
At that moment.
His speed was unbelievably fast.
It actually left a long afterimage under the moonlight!
..
Sprint Potion!
..
Peggy originally planned to interrupt the other party's action of taking the medicine.
However, Heiss was unbelievably fast.
He was gone before she could get close to him.
At this time.
The afterimage quickly swept past the Tauren skeleton.
The soul fire in Peggy's head suddenly lit up.
Whoosh!
The bone blade moved forward.
Thrust!
The sound of weapons piercing flesh rang.
The huge bone blade cut deeply into Heiss' shoulder blade!
"Good prediction!"
Matthew couldn't help but praise loudly.
However, Heiss' tenacity was far higher than he had imagined!
After taking this attack head-on, he only staggered a little.
Then, he continued to run without saying a word!
"Hey, my leg!"
Peggy's hand slipped, and she failed to retract her bone. Heiss carried it and ran away!
[Arsonist] had an extremely strong ability to escape. Coupled with the help of the Advanced Sprint Potion, it would be very difficult to catch him unless an inescapable net was set up in advance!
Heiss was very skilled in escaping.
Relying on this combination.
He had already saved himself several times.
He believed that this time would not be an exception!
..
"Matthew, Matthew!"
Peggy was anxious.
"You chase after him first!"
Matthew said calmly.
His gaze was locked in the direction where Heiss' afterimage had gone.
"I will not let him escape…"
Matthew was ready to use his ultimate move.
However, at this moment.
His body suddenly trembled slightly.
Immediately after.
A strong desire and hatred surged into his mind.
He pondered for two seconds.
Matthew decisively chanted another spell.
..
Near the farm.
Heiss slowed down.
He was in a terrible state. Peggy's bone blade had almost cut him in half from the back!
If it weren't for his high tenacity, he would have been a dead man.
But even so.
He urgently needed a place to recuperate.
"There's a fire here, so it's not convenient for the enemy to get close."
He thought about it.
Heiss decisively barged into the farm.
The surroundings were all burning with flames, but to him, it was like returning to his home.
Arsonists had extremely high fire resistance. If he were a little careful, an ordinary fire would not pose any threat to him.
"We're safe for now."
He was leaning against a stone house that had been burned beyond recognition.
Heiss rested for a while.
He looked at the bone blade on his back and frowned.
Just as he was thinking about how to deal with his injuries and the pursuers.
A mournful roar suddenly pierced his eardrums!
Heiss quivered.
A sharp pain came from his chest.
He turned around in shock.
He saw a ghost with a blurry face sticking close to him!
In the next second, the specter's claws suddenly pulled out from Heiss' chest.
Bang!
Bang!
The heart that was exposed to the air was still beating vigorously!
"No…"
Heiss' desperate cry was stuck in his throat.
Because in an instant, his vocal cords were torn to shreds by Spectral Soul!
..
[You sensed a powerful resentment. Channeling the resentment, you used Undead Summoning!]
[You have obtained an extremely resentful ghost (LV8)!]
..
[You killed the arsonist Heiss and his subordinates, preventing the fire from spreading to the forest!]
[You have received the reward "Wilderness Transformation"!」
