Chapter 1631 - A Necromancer Who Just Wants to Plant Trees

Chapter 1631: 448 clues of the Rootless River_4 “Otherwise, this is the end result. I would kill you and then become Matthew’s person… no, I already belong to him now. Haven’t you realized that?” As she spoke, she let out a tittering laugh: “In this world, there’s only one person who can witness my weakness and lowliness.” “Now, that person is Matthew.” “So, you must die…” The next second. ... She splayed her hands like claws, pressing them on little Ingram’s features, as black lines spread from the palms of her hands. Little Ingram let out a heart-wrenching howl. After that, there was no more sound. Having done all this, Audacia stood still. A tear fell on little Ingram’s skull. She wiped her tears, a forced smile on her face. But the next second. The skull in her arms twitched! Audacia looked down in surprise. To her discovery, it wasn’t just the skull—little Ingram’s headless corpse had also stood up from the ground! After a moment. She finally looked to the side, belatedly. There. The incredibly handsome and somewhat unbelievable necromancer was walking towards her with measured steps. For some reason. A sickly blush appeared on Audacia’s face, recently dried of tears. But it wasn’t long. Before she sorrowfully realized. Matthew’s attention wasn’t on her. It seemed that, compared to her. Matthew was more concerned about… Little Ingram? Audacia couldn’t help but bite her lip, shooting Matthew a resentful glance, and then silently stepped aside. Matthew was indeed more focused on the state of little Ingram’s body. Because while using Undead Summoning to resurrect little Ingram, he unexpectedly discovered that the other’s soul had flown away! However, quite quickly. Matthew found the soul hidden inside a Horcrux the other was carrying— This might be difficult for a typical necromancer. But for Matthew with Equalized Perception, it was as simple as eating a meal at home. Soon. He extracted the soul from the Horcrux. “Let me go!” “You’ve already possessed my body, do you have to defile my soul as well?” Little Ingram glared at Matthew with rage. Matthew arched an eyebrow: “Given your current situation, do you think it’s appropriate to continue shouting at me?” Little Ingram said bitterly: “Then don’t expect me to submit to you like that bitch did!” “I should have seen through her nature long ago.” “She’s nothing but a whore, just wait, sooner or later, she will betray you without hesitation…” Audacia’s face turned ashen. But under Matthew’s Intimidation, she dared not make any overstepping motion. Matthew said indifferently: “I won’t deny I have some interest in you.” “But that doesn’t mean you can squander my patience at will.” “Listen, I have a soul contract here…” However, before he could finish. A small crack appeared behind little Ingram’s soul. Whoosh! A tremendous force of attraction emanated from the crack, and it sucked in a large portion of his soul! “No, no, no, save me!” Little Ingram appeared to be facing something extremely terrifying, and the features of his soul twisted into a mess: “I’ll sign, I’ll sign!” “Give me the contract! You are my master… ah!” Before he could finish. His soul was completely absorbed into the crack. Subsequently. Both Matthew and Audacia were also severely affected! Fortunately, Matthew reacted swiftly. He grabbed hold of the divine with one hand and wielded the Sword of Slaughter with the other, stabbing towards the crack! The latter sharply contracted, and then immediately vanished. Matthew looked down. On the tip of the Sword of Slaughter, there now was a drop of black blood crystal! “That’s also a classic way for summoners to die…” According to incomplete statistics. At least half of the summoners throughout Aindor’s history have died at the hands of their own summoned creatures, which they could not control. Another quarter died at the hands of their own summoned creatures, which they could have controlled but which suddenly went rogue. Their unique power system means that unless summoners can pass on their craft perfectly, their end is rarely a good one. Matthew couldn’t help shaking his head. Clearly. Little Ingram’s soul had been devoured alive by the Blood Angel Urmus he had summoned. This could also indirectly imply. That the battle in the Dark Divine Kingdom was far from going as smoothly as little Ingram had anticipated. What a pity… Matthew was rather interested in the system of summoners. If little Ingram had agreed earlier to sign the contract, Matthew might have been able to keep him alive. Now. He would have to figure out how to extract more value from the other’s corpse. It was much less efficient than interrogating a soul. Compared to Matthew’s regret. Audacia seemed much more pleased. After little Ingram was completely dead. She took a deep breath of relief, her eyes twinkling and appearing much livelier. “Where are the Four Elemental Elders?” “What about those elemental lives?” As Matthew examined little Ingram’s body, he asked casually. Audacia replied: “In the contract between elemental lives and summoners, they are not obligated to serve Ingram to the death.” “A batch of them had already died at your hands previously, so many elemental lives were already inclined to retreat. Once I killed little Ingram, they all scattered.” “That’s just how elemental lives are, they rarely have loyalty to speak of…”
