Chapter 1730 - A Necromancer Who Just Wants to Plant Trees

Chapter 1730: 470 Shelter Technique and Golden Ring_2 His eyes emitted a strong blue light, as if a single glance could see through the essence of everything. His brain spun uncontrollably at high speed, his body filled with seemingly infinite mana! The intense feeling of fullness alternated with an unprecedented sense of satisfaction, assaulting Matthew’s nerves. At one moment, he even felt that he was a true god! Luckily, having experienced the Dusk Disaster and Lost Paradise, Matthew was all too familiar with this swelling sensation. ... “This is an illusion caused by a massive influx of Ether into my body…” “In an environment of expanding Ether, any spellcasting might trigger a backlash of Ether, let alone the Great Prophecy Spell of this caliber!” A sense of caution arose in Matthew’s heart. It was as if countless imps were whispering in his ear: “Cast another Great Prophecy Spell!” “It feels so good!” “Don’t you think the buildings in this city are too densely packed? Tear some down, it will be exhilarating to demolish them…” His pores involuntarily dilated. Endless Ether rushed into Matthew’s body. His eyeballs turned completely luminescent blue, even his eyebrows carried that distinctive glow! “Mystic Lock!” Feeling the Ether inside nearing to go out of control, Matthew activated this ability-incarnating spell without any hesitation. The next second, his entire state returned to normal. At the same time, Matthew’s neck, cheeks, wrists, knees, and many other areas of his skin began to sprout dense clusters of blue bumps! That was a sign of Ether crystallization! Matthew came to the ground, lightly shook his body, and briskly walked forward. As he walked, he dropped those blue crystals to the ground. He walked out several hundred meters. Only then did the excess Ether crystals completely fall off his body! “These Ether Crystals were good stuff in the past, not inferior to any elemental Energy Crystal Cluster and could be used as a casting medium, probably could sell for a good price in the Alliance Mall…” “Sadly, given the current environment, the value of the Ether Crystals will likely be discounted.” Matthew thought to himself. He turned back, just about to use Mage’s Hand to pick up those crystals. He found that Soldier was meticulously following him and picking up those blue crystals. His technique was extremely deft, sweeping all the crystals into his bag as if he were a vacuum cleaner, ultimately handing them all to Matthew. “Well done.” Matthew kept ninety percent and gave the remaining ten percent to Soldier as a token of his hard work— after all, he was a legendary necromancer. That much of a labor fee was appropriate. After doing all this, Matthew finally had a moment to deal with the one who slipped through the net in the Demigod Domain— namely, the only entity not erased by the Great Prophecy Spell, Queen Zerg. During the spellcasting, Matthew had actually included Queen Zerg in the range to be eradicated. But it had not been effective. Although Queen Zerg suffered some damage, compared to the demigods who evaporated from Earth, she was at least still alive. However, her mental state was worrying. “Because she has not Ascended and does not meet the definition of a False God, she became the one that slipped through the net?” Thinking this, Matthew walked casually to where Queen Zerg lay half-paralyzed, suppressed by the aura of the Great Prophecy Spell. At this time, Queen Zerg could no longer maintain her half-human, half-insect state. She had reverted to her original form— that of a creature resembling a giant spider with numerous tentacles and a ferocious mouthpart on its back, an otherworldly creature. But at that moment, her multi-faceted eyes near her mouthparts were filled with indescribable fear. With every step Matthew took, Queen Zerg subconsciously shrank her slightly wriggling chitinous layer. Until Matthew stood before her, her abdomen had already begun to exude large amounts of sticky green liquid! Matthew saw fear in her eyes. “You’re lucky to be alive,” Matthew said nonchalantly, “I am willing to give you a chance to mend your ways.” “But only once.” With that, he casually took a glass bottle out of his bag. Next, Matthew positioned the mouth of the bottle toward Queen Zerg. Almost instantly, Queen Zerg’s body collapsed, large amounts of green liquid forced out from her shell, her bloated body turning into a loose husk and a puddle of liquid, much like a sponge squeezed dry. A few seconds later, a small insect, only as large as Matthew’s pinky finger, hurriedly crawled out from the pool of green liquid. The insect burrowed deep into the glass bottle. Matthew grabbed the bottle, when Soldier approached. He stared at the glass bottle in Matthew’s hand for a good seven or eight seconds before finally speaking with difficulty: “Master, the bottle, it’s uncapped.” Matthew of course understood what he meant, so he smiled: “No worries.” “This bottle doesn’t need a cap. “She will stay inside willingly…” He jiggled the bottle, and the larval form of Queen Zerg was now curled up immobile in one corner, as if she had completely died. Meanwhile, as they conversed, the dark clouds over Order City also dissipated greatly. In the distance among the clouds, several floating ships with giant paddles appeared. Matthew, with his keen sight, recognized them as magic ships from Cyberdragon! Apparently, Butterfly’s called reinforcements had arrived. With Cyberdragon’s help, along with the city’s Elemental Law Enforcement Team and members of the Truth Sect, and Butterfly, the legendary Machinist present, the astral creatures in the city likely wouldn’t cause much trouble anymore.
