Chapter 118 Dissociation Technique and Estel's Claw (Monthly Ticket Required)
…
The collision between the undead army and the Ash Legion did not break out into an earth-shattering battle.
presented in front of everyone present.
Only one-sided massacre!
"Boiling~!"
Philoleus charged forward with the courage of the three armies.
The huge bone claws ruthlessly stepped on the head of the Ashes Warlord, but the latter's strength was equally astonishing. Facing such a huge bone dragon, the Ashes Warlord just tilted his head and put his ear on one side of his neck.
boom!
He swung the mace with great force and hit Xiao Fei's waist and abdomen hard!
puff.
There was a crisp sound.
The negative energy shield surrounding Xiao Bo's body was ruthlessly shattered.
The thick and long mace violently hit Xiao Boi's ribs and sternum, making a tooth-gripping sound and a bone-breaking sound!
When it is.
The bones in Xiao Fei's body collapsed like an avalanche.
After just a few seconds, a large area of his chest and abdomen collapsed.
The Ash Warlord is littered with bone fragments.
He excitedly pursued the victory.
However, Xiao Fei didn't move at all. He allowed the opponent's mace to move in and out of his chest.
He raised his neck high and burst out the short syllables.
"Dragon Language Magic: Multiple Gravity"!
boom!
At the moment when the syllable bursts out.
Black circles of light suddenly appeared on Xiao Fei's body.
Under the influence of several times gravity.
The mountain-strong Ash Overseer was caught off guard and fell to his knees.
He subconsciously wanted to use his mace to prop up his fall, but the two bone dragons that had been skimming beside him suddenly rushed forward.
One of them raided the Ashes Warlord's lower body, and the other even took the mace that had lost its strength and took it away!
"No!"
An unwilling moan erupted from the Ash Overseer's mouth.
Immediately afterwards.
His huge body was completely crushed to the ground!
The next scene is very inappropriate for children——
Led by Xiao Fei, the three-headed bone dragon gave a crazy "stomp" to the Ashes Warlord who fell to the ground!
The three-headed bone dragon took turns exerting force, running over the monster and then falling back.
No one can bear this.
quickly.
In the pitiful wail, the Ash Warlord turned into dust all over the sky like other ash beings.
The boss dies.
The remaining ashes of life have no chance of winning.
Xiao Fei, who had obviously lost a large ring of bones, still fought bravely.
But as he entered and exited the enemy formation, he wiped out the remaining Ash Warriors.
As for the ash pawns.
As early as when the bone dragons fought with the Ash Overseer, they were eaten alive by the undead.
The massacre soon came to an end.
A rain of ashes began to fall on the Mark of the Dead.
Under the command of Matthew.
A large number of undead creatures quickly exited the Mark of the Dead.
During this process, Matthew also discovered that undead creatures were also unable to be immune to the damage of the Mark of the Dead, and many skeletons and zombies had their limbs broken and turned into ashes.
Banshee, Mummy and the other two Bone Dragons were better off, but they were not completely unscathed.
The only one is Xiao Bo himself.
Apart from the fact that the Ash Overseer used a mace to carve a big hole in his chest and lost a lot of bones, he didn't seem to be eroded by the power of the Mark of the Dead.
Matthew glanced at the data column.
…
"Perception: Your summon Philolis has initially mastered the characteristic "king temperament" that only the lord template possesses. This temperament is enough to lock all the elements in his body to ensure that they will not be leaked under the influence of external forces."
…
"This guy does have the temperament of a king."
Looking at the hole in Xiao Fei's chest.
Matthew laughed secretly in his heart.
He had already noticed that this guy used magic to glue a lot of useless bones on the outside to form a layer of artificial "bone armor".
This thing is so fragile that it falls off as soon as you touch it, making it easy for enemies to misunderstand you during battle.
For example, take the Ash Warlord just now.
He actually had a chance to dodge the attack temporarily, but after he succeeded in the attack, he thought he had really seriously injured Xiao Fei, so he went ahead and decided to fight to the end.
In fact, only Matthew knew that Xiao Fei’s core skeleton was inside!
As long as the core is not damaged.
No matter how the bones outside fall off, they are all smoke bombs!
"No wonder he gained so much weight during this meeting. It turns out he put on a lot of fat after becoming the boss."
"I wonder how much "bone tax" this guy collected from his subordinates in order to collect so many bones?"
Matthew even suspected that this circle of bone armor had the effect of selling people off!
at this time.
The undead army withdrew from the Scar of the Dead one after another.
Only Xiao Bo remained inside.
Matthew saw that he had taken a few steps deeper. Suddenly, he raised his bone wings and flapped them vigorously.
With the cooperation of dragon language magic.
A moderate wind blew.
The wind blew up the ashes on the ground of the Mark of the Dead, carrying them flying towards the oak forest!
Matthew was a little confused at first.
But soon he realized Xiao Fei’s true intention!
The ashes in the Mark of the Dead flew into the forest like snowflakes. After sinking into the earth, the entire oak forest seemed to suddenly come to life!
The oak trees all thanked the source of the wind of ashes.
Although they were soon surprised to find that it was a bone dragon.
But the thanks are still heard.
Matthew used to be able to see this kind of scene only when the natural domain was activated, but now it happened in the non-domain state. Not only himself, but also others could hear the voices of the oak trees!
He couldn't help but turn on the balanced perception.
…
"Balance Perception: You have insight that the ashes after the death of ash creatures contain a lot of life elements!
The Ember Wind infuses the oak forest and its land with a powerful life energy (the effect is approximately equal to 0.5 "Natural Ritual: Sanctuary of Life")
The domain legend of your and your summon Philleus +1 (oak tree)"
…
I see.
At this moment, Matthew realized clearly that not every part dropped from the ash creature was harmful to the outside world!
Ash warriors will drop soul crystals, and ordinary ash creatures will drop life energy.
Only the sparks produced when the ash creatures move are the carriers of the power of destruction.
This discovery made Matthew ecstatic.
In his eyes.
Marks of the Dead are becoming more and more valuable!
Matthew also wanted to ask Xiao Fei how he knew this characteristic, but considering the other party's expressive ability, he could only give up temporarily.
After working diligently on the humanoid blower.
Only then did Xiao Fei stride towards Matthew.
The undead army heard the news and moved into action.
They followed Philoleus in unison, like an army with forbidden orders.
This scene made everyone around him nervous.
So Matthew also took the initiative to greet him.
After one person and one dragon met, Xiao Fei knelt down on the ground diligently, lowering his head on the ground like he did when they first met.
Matthew reached out and touched his neck.
"Master, don't leave suddenly..."
There was a small and anxious voice coming from the other side of the contract.
"That was a misunderstanding and it should never happen again."
Matthew didn't explain much.
"That's good!"
When this thought came to him, Xiao Bo, whose head was lying on the ground, suddenly let out a sharp hissing sound!
The two bone dragons took the lead and crawled to the ground.
The other units of the undead army also followed suit.
The skeleton kneels on one knee, the zombie kneels on the ground, and the banshee sits cross-legged.
Only the mummy was the most pitiful. She could only lie down straight, with her head and chest hitting the ground.
All the undead creatures knelt before Matthew.
That scene really shocked others.
"Lord Rhaegar, is he the necromancer with a bone dragon you mentioned?"
Asuma couldn't help but asked in a low voice.
Rhaegar looked like he was used to big scenes, and the old god replied:
"Yes, I said he had one, but I didn't say he only had one!"
Asma said speechlessly:
"That's not the key. The key is that it's a bone dragon king!"
"You should understand what the immortal king means to the material world, right?"
Rhaegar glanced at him:
"forget."
Asma was about to speak, but was stopped by Du Lin next to him, who shook his head and said:
"Don't talk too much. Even if your worry is correct, didn't you see that the necromancer trained the undead king to be obedient?"
Asuma was about to retort.
The next second.
They saw the bone dragon suddenly open its mouth——
Wow!
More than thirty high-purity soul crystals slid out from inside.
"This is the seizure just now. Master, please accept it!"
This time, Philoleus actually said it in common language!
Everyone present heard it clearly.
Matthew looked at the soul crystal in that place in surprise.
Of course he saw the killed Ash Warriors, but he was too embarrassed to ask Xiao Fei for them, but this guy actually took the initiative to hand them over!
Matthew pondered:
"How about you take half?"
Xiao Fei firmly refused and said:
"I am your humblest servant. Even I am your private property. There is no reason in this world for a servant to take away the master's spoils. Please accept it."
Matthew was surprised that Xiao Fei became more and more fluent in the common language, and was also impressed by his loyalty.
After Xiao Fei finished these two sentences.
Matthew could immediately feel the eyes of everyone behind him looking at him with a little more awe.
This feeling is still a bit refreshing.
next moment.
Xiao Fei said goodbye to Matthew elegantly and politely, and then left through the negative energy channel with his mighty undead army.
When the last undead disappeared into the negative energy vortex.
A brand new reminder also flashed before Matthew's eyes.
…
"Tip: Philoleus activated the ability "Flattery".
You got 34 soul crystals!
Immortal Contract: Your summoned Philolius took the initiative to go into battle with commendable courage. He and his undead army made an indelible contribution to the annihilation of the Ash Legion. In this battle, not only his undead army appeared
There was a certain reduction in personnel, and even he himself was seriously injured.
This is not good news for him who will soon face challenges from several undead lords around him after returning to the negative energy plane.
It is for this reason that Philoleus sincerely begs you for a reward on behalf of his undead men——
15 soul crystals, do you want to pay?
(Tip: Philoleus activated the ability "Sell Miserably")"
…
Good guy!
"So we were waiting here!"
"You gave me enough face in front of outsiders, but I turned around and asked for salary in the name of my subordinates. The number is just a little less than half of what I said. This guy's emotional intelligence is almost full from the negative energy plane!"
Matthew smiled with relief in his heart.
After Xiao Fei asked for money, he breathed a sigh of relief.
After full payment.
Matthew hurriedly went to check the conditions of the experimental field.
Fortunately, the Scorched Earth of Death was not damaged. Only the Boundary Heart Stone, which serves as the pillar of communication with the negative energy plane, was severely overdrawn and may not last a few days.
This is normal. Maintaining plane channels has never been a simple matter.
The cost of a boundary heart stone is more than 300 gold coins. Compared with the 19 soul crystals obtained, Matthew still made a lot of money.
While the ceremony can still function normally.
Matthew quickly wrote down the relevant information and key points, which will come in handy when applying for projects from the alliance.
In general.
This ceremony can be considered a complete success.
Matthew gradually verified the feasibility of "using the scorched earth of death to contain the traces of the dead", and unexpectedly discovered the secrets of "Ashes" and "Mars" from Xiao Fei.
afterwards.
He spent another night organizing these contents into a decent proposal application according to the template.
The next day, through the Alliance's office in the Crucible House, Matthew formally submitted an application to the Alliance for delaying the Death Mark expansion project through the A1 channel. At the same time, he did not forget to hand over the crystal ball recording the ceremony to the small black room.
, so that Isabel can check it.
Another day passed.
Matthew received the good news that the application was approved and the project was successfully established!
He went to the Crucible House and received the first project funds distributed by the alliance from David.
Only the initial funds allocated were 3,000 gold coins!
According to David, as long as Matthew completes the preparations for the follow-up work-mainly the preparation of spell materials and the recruitment of apprentices, the follow-up funds will be available soon.
The total funding for this project is around 30,000 gold coins.
Matthew can request more at any time.
During the project, Matthew's only obligation was to recruit as many apprentices as possible and ensure their safety during the ceremony.
On this point, David said this:
"Not every apprentice can become a useful mage to the alliance, but the alliance needs to incubate more talents through a huge base. Recruiting apprentices has no harm to you. You only need to ensure their basic life safety.
, for the others, it’s not impossible to treat them as undead.”
"If you recruit a large enough number of apprentices, there will even be additional knowledge points when the project is settled. Of course, I don't recommend recruiting people blindly. After all, it is easy to cause trouble when there are too many people in the alliance.
The number of necromancers is very small, and the same is true for apprentices. The number of apprentices who have also studied necromancy may be more. I suggest that you disclose the corresponding conditions when recruiting, so as to facilitate faster screening."
"If you don't mind, Lord Matthew, I can do most of the preliminary work, including the purchase of materials and the determination of the initial roster. Of course, you still have to make the final decision in person during the interview."
Matthew was used to David's attentiveness.
Because he has gradually realized the scarcity of A1s, the entire alliance will not have more than 10 A1s in the south, and even Blinken’s original position in the alliance was only B2.
This discovery made Matthew both happy and uneasy.
He couldn't be sure of Eckmond's intention of over-promoting him. It might just be to please Isabel, but there might also be other motives.
But until Ronan returns, Matthew can only choose to work hard.
In the end, Matthew left most of the preliminary preparation work to David.
Only when the initial roster was determined, Matthew thrust a small note into David's hand and asked him to write the name on the note into the roster in advance.
Of course, Matthew didn't really want to hide the girl named Leslie.
It was just the other party's boldness and bravery that impressed him deeply.
Anyway, they are just looking for a group of apprentices to come over to make up for their losses, so why not give her a chance.
I just don’t know how well Leslie masters necromancy.
Next few days.
Matthew spent most of his time in the oak forest, occasionally going to the Crucible House to check on the project's readiness.
In addition to planting trees, he is also taking time to learn new spells.
The most important of them are two third-level spells, "Dissociation" and "Astra's Claw".
Perhaps because it is also related to the field of transformation, Matthew's dissociation technique is quite difficult to learn.
He had to admit that he lacked talent in the field of transformation.
If it weren't for Rhaegar's divine assist, he would probably still be tortured by the malicious transformation spell.
The same goes for dissociation.
As far as Matthew knows, this is a controversial spell.
The schools of Conjuration and Transfiguration both compete for ownership of Dissociation.
The former believes that the principle of dissociation is to control energy changes in the form of incantations, thereby causing any non-living object to disintegrate from the inside and eventually turn into a cloud of dust.
This is of course a spell.
The latter believes that the real principle of dissociation is to transform any inanimate object touched by spell energy into a ball of dust.
This is supposed to be a deformation.
The clever thing is.
Whether starting from the theory of conjuration or from the perspective of transformation, mages have the ability to master dissociation.
Therefore, this spell has become a popular magical skill that is necessary for middle and low-level mages to fight in a duel.
After all, in a mage duel, mana itself is nothing, the endless supplies and equipment are the most important.
Dissociation, a spell that specializes in melting equipment and disintegrating props, can greatly level the gap between the rich and the poor among mages.
A must-have for mages who are keen on fighting.
The reason why Matthew learned this spell was because the introduction to the combat spell crash course he signed up for mentioned that dissociation was one of the several compulsory combat spells.
He has previewed in advance.
It's a pity that his talent in this area is really mediocre, and he has not yet been able to achieve the first step of the dissociation technique - turning a magnet into a ball of dust.
There were times when he practiced spells until late at night when he got sleepy, and accidentally turned a magnet into a goat.
After experiencing the thrill of almost being pushed.
Matthew silently increased his need for coffee at night.
Compared to dissociation.
Astra's Claw, a necromantic spell, was very easy for Matthew to learn.
In just two days, he successfully mastered this spell.
The effect of this spell is to use magic energy to control a four-clawed tentacle with negative energy. Because of the negative energy, once this tentacle comes close to a living creature, it will cause many negative effects on the enemy;
On the other hand, Esdrael's Claw can also use physical strikes to grab, throw, and throw targets.
In general.
Astra's Claw is the spell version of the Pale Hand. It is characterized by a longer attack range, with a maximum range of 32 meters, while the casting distance of most spells is between 20 and 28 meters.
What Matthew liked was the fact that it was relatively long.
In addition, the effect of Esdrael's Claw is more stable. Although it lacks instant death judgment, it makes up for this by its attribute that can cause negative effects on the enemy.
It's a pity that spells or abilities in the same field cannot be reconciled, otherwise Matthew would really like to see what powerful abilities the Claws of Esdrael and the Pale Hand can bring out.
Time flies by in the daily routine of planting trees and learning spells.
At nightfall.
Matthew led Renesmee into the cabin with a smile on her face.
It’s time for the weekly reinforcement again.
He didn't plant many trees this week and only had 11 opportunities to strengthen them, but there should also be opportunities to produce purple and gold.
Matthew sat on the edge of the bed.
He was about to raise his hand to strengthen Renesmee.
However, at this time, Matthew suddenly saw a lonely shadow outside the window.
He took a closer look.
But A Bing was lying at the window, silently looking at himself and Renesmee.
There was actually a hint of grievance in the soul fire.
