Matthew realized that this was the first time he was exposed to Death's true name.
Before that.
Death has always been an unreachable image in his mind.
It seems to be just a symbol, or a representative of death.
But after knowing the name.
Matthew suddenly felt an unprecedented sense of intimacy!
This feeling of intimacy comes for no reason.
It even made him feel flustered:
"Why am I seeing that?"
"Who is the Headless Horseman?"
"Who is that poet who looks like Lorraine?"
"The god of dusk and poets? Is there such a god in the history of Tianlun Palace?"
Matthew's mind was filled with doubts and uneasiness.
This state made him feel very uncomfortable.
So he instinctively forced himself to calm down and focused more on the golden knife in his hand.
…
"The Blade of Jaeger: A treasure given to his second son Maibaron by the god of death, Jaeger.
Control requirements: The user's level must be LV21 or above.
Characteristic 1: Extremely sharp (this is the sharpest knife in the underworld, it can cut a scar on the surface of almost any object)
Feature 2: Soul Siphon (you can drain the souls of all living creatures within a certain range of yourself, three times a day)
Characteristic three: Dark Servant (units killed by Jaeger's Blade can be quickly transformed into undead with a "Dark Servant" template with a certain probability under the blessing of the Undead Domain)
Feature 4: Soul Crystal Treasure (units killed by Yeager's Blade will have a certain chance to generate soul crystals on the spot)
Feature Five: Key to the Dead Realm (This is a key that can be used to open the eternal Dead Realm)"
…
no doubt.
This is a top-quality treasure of the Necromancer!
Don't say anything else.
Just the matter of killing people and exploding soul crystals is enough to make many necromancers take risks!
What's more, Soul Siphon and Dark Servant are both extremely powerful abilities.
However, Matthew didn't feel much joy in his heart at this moment.
Because this knife came so unexpectedly!
I just entered the ancient city of Krafa and found a hall to set up camp.
Encountering the Headless Horseman on the way, he went to a strange space and witnessed a half-hearted drama...
Then this knife appeared in his hand!
"Why?"
"Who gave me this knife?"
"Is it the Headless Horseman? Who is his true identity?"
Matthew's heart was pounding.
He now particularly wants to find Mayer and ask for more information about the Death God Yeager.
It's a pity that the immortal just wants to fish now.
He didn't even join Matthew's magic guild, which made contacting Mayer a very laborious task.
at the same time.
Matthew also noticed a very strange point——
"This dagger is the key to the eternal death realm, which is where Maibaron, the second son of the god of death, exiled himself."
"No matter what past history I have with the Death God family, why did I get this dagger in the ancient city of Krafa?"
From the perspective of plane science.
The realm of eternal death belongs to the underworld, which is the inner plane of the Eight Sutras.
The Blood Drinking Mountain where Matthew is currently located is most likely in a special zone between the material world and the outer plane.
Theoretically there is no overlap between the two.
He has never heard of much connection between the Troll Empire and the underworld...
While Matthew was thinking, he gently touched the golden knife in his hand.
The Yeager Blade feels very soft.
Matthew stroked her gently, and the touch felt extremely comfortable, as if he were stroking his lover's skin.
at a certain moment.
He could even feel a special throbbing similar to a pulse inside the dagger.
Blade of Jaeger.
This little knife.
It seems that he is also conveying his joy and happiness to Matthew in his own way!
Matthew's thoughts were a little out of control:
"This knife feels like it belongs to me."
"Even if I don't have proficiency in short weapons and I don't have eighteen martial arts skills, I should be able to master it easily."
"This feeling is so surreal."
"If all this is not an illusion, then there may indeed be many connections between me and the God of Death, Jaeger, including the former Sun God Gerald. It seems that he and I are a little unclear..."
Think of this.
Matthew couldn't help but think of Margaret's hint.
He couldn't help but have a sudden thought:
"Am I actually being thrown into the continent of Irondor?"
"This body now is just a shared body similar to the guardian of Blood Drinking Mountain?"
"My true identity is actually an artificer or other experimenter in the Cybertron launch bay?"
"And the reason why I am related to the Sun God or the God of Death is actually because they have played with this body before?"
"Isn't this too fucking outrageous!?"
Matthew only felt that his temples were beating!
More possibilities came to mind:
"Or maybe I am a pawn of the Sun God or the God of Death, or even a reincarnation?"
"Cyberron is paying attention to me, but is it actually paying attention to Gerrard and Jaeger?"
"What about the past life memories in my mind?"
"Are those also fake?"
"No no no no no...impossible...impossible!"
Matthew covered his head with his hands.
A faint feeling of tearing was born in the depths of his soul.
He felt unprecedented panic.
That is a sign that the soul, realm and power are about to lose control!
"I am a serious alien from heaven!"
"I'm from Earth!"
"I am a time traveler!"
"No matter what Sun God Gerald and Death God Jaeger want to do, it has nothing to do with me now!"
Matthew gasped for air.
With this thought becoming more and more firm, his eyes regained their color.
The previous illusion of soul tearing was also suppressed.
Matthew kept repeating this hint in his mind.
Gradually.
The feeling of losing control of my strength completely disappeared.
A few minutes later.
Matthew was sweating profusely and sat on the cold floor, panting feebly.
"So dangerous..."
Deep in his heart he was filled with fear.
At that moment.
His self-awareness has been shaken - which will cause a very serious storm of chaos at the domain level!
This is also one of the hidden worries caused by the large number of fields.
If you cannot strengthen your beliefs and will.
Then your soul may shift significantly at any time due to the subtle influence of a certain field.
Different soul parts will shift in different directions.
under the influence of multiple fields.
The final result is that the soul is torn apart and completely collapsed!
This is why most of the strong people in the multiverse have a firm will and strong self-confidence.
This point is very important.
Even if the direction you firmly believe in is wrong, you can still rely on your firm belief to ensure stability at the field level.
It is precisely for this reason.
As a result, most gods are paranoid and arrogant.
in history.
Gods who are not paranoid and arrogant enough have fallen long ago!
"Yes, I am an Earthling. I traveled through time while playing games."
"These memories are never wrong."
"They will become my most precious treasure and my anchor to balance all things and realms!"
Matthew stood up with great determination.
As his thoughts returned to normal, the surrounding scenes finally slowly disappeared.
Matthew only felt that his body had become much heavier.
The next second.
He opened his eyes, the illusion completely disappeared, and he returned to the side hall where he had camped before.
But what made him a little nervous was...
There was no one in the side hall, and the camp set up by the Traveler God had completely disappeared!
Only the bonfire was still crackling and burning.
There are also some messy tracks near the camp.
"Its daybreak?"
Matthew was shocked. At first he thought he was still in the illusory space just now.
But he soon realized that the time he had been "away" from the camp might be much longer than he felt physically.
There are only four hours of night in Blood Drinking Mountain.
At this time, some light came in from the window, about dawn.
Just at this moment.
Sen'er suddenly turned in from the corridor in the direction of the hall.
When he saw Matthew, he couldn't help but ask:
"Where did you just go?"
Matthew did not answer, but asked instead:
"What about the rest?"
Sener shrugged:
"At dawn, we found that you were missing. Just when we were about to look around, we heard some noises outside. They all went to check the situation. Leave me here to see if I can find you..."
Matthew nodded:
"is that so?"
Sener urged:
"Come with me quickly, everyone is waiting for you."
Matthew responded and quickly followed.
At the moment when he was about to stand side by side with Sen Er, Matthew suddenly grasped the Yaeger blade hidden in his sleeve, and then stabbed Sen Er in the back——
"ah!"
Caught off guard, Sener let out a miserable howl.
Matthew's knife accurately pierced the opponent's heart. Sener tilted his head back and struggled violently. Astonishing changes began to occur on the surface of his body!
"You, you, why?"
"Sel" turned into the appearance of a fish-man, and he looked at Matthew incomprehensibly.
Matthew pouted:
"Try to poke it."
"If you are the real Sener, then I will never be able to stab you."
"Ten thousand steps back, Sen'er is not a good person. If you really stab him to death, it will be a bloody gain. Of course, you will definitely not understand what I am talking about..."
The fish-man's painted eyeballs instantly became bloodshot.
He broke away from Matthew's arms and still had the energy to resist!
But just waiting for him to pick up the weapon.
Matthew had already taken a few steps. As he retreated, he loudly chanted the summoning technique of the dead!
boom!
boom!
Two figures fell from the sky.
With her precise landing skills, Peggy successfully smashed the fish-man's head to pieces.
A Bing, who landed later, was much more graceful.
The raincoat on his body even rolled up automatically, shielding A Bing from the splashing blood and brain matter.
"Matthew, you have suppressed me so much this time, you must make it up to me!"
Paige made the accusation fiercely.
Matthew smiled:
"Special circumstances, please understand."
"I'll give you a salary increase when I get back."
Paige crossed her arms:
"hehe."
"Do you think I am still the innocent girl I once was, and that I will believe whatever you say?"
"The damn Necromancer knows how to bully us Minotaurs!"
Ma Xiu said:
"Absolutely nothing."
"I can write it into the supplementary contract now."
As he spoke, he also looked at A Bing:
"You have a share too."
A Bing lowered his head slightly, with a smile on his face filled with joy from the bottom of his heart——
Have to admit it.
The physique reshaped by the bamboo jade creature has made A Bing an impeccably handsome man now.
Just that smile just now is enough to control the enemy's gaze for several seconds!
Compared to the reserve of the double-sword sage.
Paige's emotions are much more unrestrained.
She cheered on the spot for a while, and then suddenly thought of something:
"Matthew, have you secretly made a fortune?"
"You were so picky about us before. I can't imagine how rich you must have become to give us a salary increase..."
Matthew held her mouth down:
"Fight first, settle the score later!"
They left the side hall and came to the corridor.
Ah Bing quickly found the footsteps of the people leaving. There was still some water and mucus on the ground, which had always been related to the fish-men.
as expected.
Matthew spied large groups of fishmen deep in the hall.
These fishmen are attacking in the direction of the garden, and that direction is one of the most convenient exits for evacuation that they had previously observed!
Matthew fired an invisible orb.
A Bing and Peggy also sneaked separately, and they leaned along the edge of the hall.
It didn't take long.
Matthew was able to get a glimpse of the whole scene——
The two parties in the battle were indeed the rest of Matthew's team and an astonishing number of legendary fishmen!
The main location where the battle takes place is at the connection between the hall and the garden.
The entrance here is relatively narrow, and it can indeed become an easy-to-defend but difficult-to-attack place without damaging the building itself.
The rest of Matthew's team relied on this to withstand the ferocious attack of the murlocs.
However, the situation is not optimistic.
Matthew found that his family was being defeated steadily by the fierce murlocs, at least in terms of momentum——
In most cases, it's the murlocs who are attacking fiercely.
It seems that all our side can do is parry and defend and counterattack.
Just a few seconds.
Matthew saw a clue——
Except Matthew.
Of the remaining five, there are too few who can hit and too many who can paddle!
Jia Siliwen won’t say any more.
She looked like she had been in jail for too long and was extremely weak. When a murloc approached, she would hit the opponent with a mallet or throw low-level field control spells such as shock and retreat.
The effects of these spells are very average, at least far less than the help that a legendary poet can provide;
The God of Travelers also looked weak and panicked.
He huddled at the back of the team, occasionally throwing a few auxiliary spells, and the rest was just waving flags and cheering——
Don't say anything else.
Matthew noticed that the two men were shouting fiercely and passionately, as if they were furious and would fight these evil fish-men in the next second.
If only the volume can be used to output.
These two will definitely take the top two spots.
Of the three remaining people.
Hayek is an illusionist. There are too many murlocs, and his illusions are greatly restrained. He can only reduce the pressure on the front line by creating mirror clones for his companions.
And Sener, who was supposed to be exerting all his strength, was actually paddling too!
Matthew vaguely heard the argument between them——
Sener proposed to evacuate the scene several times.
But this suggestion was directly refuted by Claire!
The orc female swordmaster's retort was also quite direct and powerful. She rushed into the crowd of fish with two swords and slashed at them randomly!
Her sword skills are so exquisite that the visual effects are extremely exaggerated.
Wherever the sword light goes.
Even the murlocs' scale armor after legendary modifications can't withstand too much.
Matthew saw that where Claire was standing, there were several murloc corpses lying strewn about at his feet, and he knew the reason why this team had not yet fallen apart.
"It's all thanks to Claire's support from the front!"
"When the fight breaks out, the other four are all fucking paddling!"
Matthew couldn't help but sweat for Claire.
But he also saw it.
Even if these ordinary fishmen have been modified to the legendary realm, they seem to be completely powerless against Claire!
The latter's sword skills are already extraordinary and holy.
Even if you face eight or even ten fishmen at the same time, you can still parry them all while still leaving room for counterattack.
This is a technical competition.
It has nothing to do with level.
Follow this trend.
After Claire leaves the Blood-Drinking Mountain, I'm afraid she will soon break through to the realm of true legend!
If you think about it carefully, this makes sense.
The orc female swordsman was originally a top powerhouse in the secondary plane. After coming to the main material world, she was naturally as high as the sky, allowing birds to fly, and the sea to be as wide as fish leaping.
Promotion to Legend is indeed just around the corner.
So a brand new person appeared on the invitation list of Matthew's magic guild.
Between thoughts.
He also did not forget to conduct an in-depth observation of the fish-men group.
Matthew is currently aware.
There were about two hundred murlocs blocking the hall, launching a ferocious attack on Claire's people.
Matthew couldn't find the leader of these fishmen for a while.
But he knew it very well.
If the Murloc Assassin really wanted to hide himself, he wouldn't be able to detect it.
"It seems we have to find a way to force him out..."
Just at this moment.
Matthew suddenly noticed that two murloc teams bypassed the narrow passage between the hall and the garden.
They rushed towards another side hall.
from that direction.
It should be possible to go around to the back of the garden.
"They want to outflank!"
Matthew knew that even if he stood by and watched, the remaining four paddlers would probably be able to escape.
But just for Claire.
He also plans to take action directly!
At that moment, Matthew silently gave instructions to A Bing and Peggy.
A group of three people sneaked behind the fish-men group.
He just wanted to take action.
On the weak side of the passage, Sener suddenly and unexpectedly threw a flare in this direction!
boom!
The fire suddenly lit up.
All invisible units are invisible!
Matthew and the other three looked around in astonishment.
Not far from me.
A fish-man assassin who had just been released from the invisible state also stared at the direction where the flare landed with a sullen face.
But the next second.
The direction he was staring at became Matthew and the two thugs beside him!
The expression on the Murloc Assassin's face quickly changed from confusion to anger!
Immediately afterwards.
A sharp roar came from his mouth.
At least half of the fishmen suddenly turned around.
Under the orders of the Murloc Assassin.
They rushed towards Matthew and the others!
"Grass!"
"Ser!"
Matthew couldn't help but cursed angrily.
…
The other side towards the garden.
Second floor.
A group of troll warriors were coldly watching the battle taking place below.
Through the huge hollow windows in the lobby on the first floor.
They could clearly see how the three Matthews and the Murloc Assassin were de-invisible by a flare.
Among this group of troll warriors.
Standing at the front were two troll women with hot figures.
They are the two princesses of the new royal family of the Troll Kingdom.
The sister's name is Annie Salvins.
The younger sister's name is Ricky Salvins.
For convenience of naming, within the Troll Kingdom, they are usually called "Princess Big Sa" and "Princess Xiao Sa".
But the two princesses were obviously not satisfied with such a designation.
So when walking outside.
They prefer to use their real names rather than various nicknames blessed by prominent families.
"That human male, he's so beautiful and cute!"
"I want him!"
Little Princess Richie, with one hand pressed against the railing, seemed to have discovered a new toy and made a sound full of longing.
Her sister Anne glanced at Matthew from a distance who was about to get into a hard fight.
Then he frowned slightly:
"Calm down, Richie, and don't make things worse."
"This is no longer a troll kingdom. We can't do whatever we want."
"Everyone who enters the Blood-Drinking Mountain should not be underestimated. What's more, although that man has a beautiful face, he might just be a man with a beautiful face."
"He may not be able to meet your needs."
Ruiqi said reluctantly:
"No no no!"
"I just want him!"
"I like him so much!"
"I will build him a pure gold cage, and then use the dragon's tail and gold to make a whip and collar, so that he can become my most perfect male slave!"
"Help me catch him!"
"I'll give you all the spoils of war, okay?"
The eyes of the little troll princess are shining.
Anne was silent for a moment.
Only some reluctantly said:
"All right."
"It's his honor to be liked by you, and you will get it from him."
"But the premise is that he must survive the siege of the fish people."
"I find this a little difficult."
"It can be seen that he is not strong, he is probably a spell caster.
I didn't see him use any emergency spells, which shows that his magic skills are not very good.
There are two people behind him, one is a tauren skeleton, and the other is not sure what race he is, but he looks very weak."
"The three of them won't last long."
Little Princess Ruiqi glanced at her:
"You seem to want him to die violently."
Anne said angrily:
"I just don't want to cause trouble."
"This operation is very important, and you understand this better than anyone in the team, Ricky!"
Ricky snorted coldly:
"No, you just don't want me to get such a perfect male slave, do you?"
"You've been trying to bully me with your words, is it because you also like that pretty boy?"
"In order to protect your hypocritical persona and face, you had to endure the pain and ignore that man. But when I wanted to accomplish what you deeply desired, you couldn't help but stop me!"
"Is this what my dearest sister is like?"
Annie's expression changed one after another.
Her eyes also became cold:
"You're going a little too far, Ricky."
Seeing that Annie had become so tough, Ricky's attitude suddenly made a 180-degree turn!
She suddenly said with a smile:
"I can give him to you!"
Anne was slightly startled, her expression a little stunned, and then her eyes showed a trace of desire.
"But you have to lend me Holiday."
"Just borrow it for 6 months..."
The little princess Ruiqi pretended to be casual and said.
Speaking of which.
A trace of uneasiness flashed across the face of the troll warrior standing next to Annie.
"impossible!"
Anne's reaction was quite violent:
"Mr. Holiday is the strongest life hunter warrior in Quinan Forest!"
"His status is not comparable to that of a male slave!"
Ricky said with a smile:
"Then three months?"
Anne's expression was uncertain.
Ricky stuck out her tongue:
"For one month, please lend me Holiday. I don't want any of the trophies from now on!"
"That male slave, as long as you nod in agreement, I will capture him and give him to you now!"
Finished.
She didn't wait for Anne's consent and came directly to the troll warrior named Holiday.
With a smile on her face, she suddenly reached out and grabbed the vital part of the troll warrior, held it in her hand and rubbed it repeatedly.
The latter's expression suddenly became very tangled, and his breathing became heavy.
Ruiqi's eyes were filled with mist:
"Wow!"
"Is this the strength of the number one life hunter in Kuinan Forest?"
"I like it so much... Can you help me intercede with my sister? Hmm?"
Holiday said in a low voice with a complex expression:
"Your Highness, little princess...I..."
Snapped!
Before he could say anything, Annie slapped Ricky's hand away.
Annie's face was full of displeasure, but she still decided:
"Catch that human male slave for me and register it in your name when you get back!"
"I'll let Holiday stay with you for half a month!"
"make a deal!"
Ricky licked her lips and eagerly took out a half-tall battle ax.
When it is.
The tall female troll raised her legs and easily crossed the railing on the second floor.
She jumped up high and flew directly towards the hanging window where the hall connected with the garden!
"Come on, baby, you're mine!'
Ricky laughed unbridled.
The addition of the troll immediately alarmed everyone, including the fish crowd, who also had a slight commotion.
Ricky didn't care.
In her world view and life experience, powerful trolls should easily dominate second-class races such as humans and elves. As for lower-class creatures such as murlocs, there is no need to waste attention.
Just flies.
Just slap him to death and that's it.
boom!
The female troll's wild body smashed open the stone wall.
Very close.
She opened her long legs and only had Matthew in her eyes!
But at that moment.
Ricky's heart suddenly contracted violently——
She saw the frail pretty boy not far away take out a golden dagger from his sleeve.
And that was the source of her panic!
Don't wait for Ricky to react.
Matthew had already cut his fingertips with the Jaeger blade.
A drop of blood seeped out and fell on the golden knife.
The next second.
Matthew's body surface began to glow white.
Countless gray tentacles stretched out from every corner of his body!
Those nearly infinite tentacles strangled the necks of almost all enemy units around Matthew!
Click click click!
A large number of fishmen were lifted into the air by those tentacles.
They were struggling wildly and wailing.
The fear from the realm of death stimulated their already trembling brains like never before!
In that frosty realm that resembles the apocalyptic cold.
Almost everyone touched by the tentacles lost the ability to move!
They became extremely weak.
Like a lamb being slaughtered.
"ah……!"
Shouts came one after another in the hall.
In chaos.
An unprecedented feeling of weakness came to Ricky's heart.
She looked down.
I don’t know since when, a gray tentacle has wrapped around her waist——
"No no no no--!"
Ricky forcibly curbed her forward momentum and tried to retreat backwards.
But at that moment.
She suddenly noticed the compassionate look from Matthew.
"Welcome your own death..."
Right in the center of the hall.
Matthew raised his hands expressionlessly.
Then two fists suddenly clenched!
soul……
Siphon!
Buzz——!
Just for a moment.
The hall lost all color.
Only black and white remain.
There is also the one standing in the gray area, surrounded by countless gray tentacles, with a perverse appearance like a monster, and an expression of compassion like a saint——
