Chapter 2005 - A Necromancer Who Just Wants to Plant Trees

Chapter 2005: 581 Seven Killings Formation and Death Spirit Entanglement … Dammon’s blade came in so unpredictably, sometimes fast, sometimes slow, yet incredibly precise. Matthew’s first instinct was to use “Blink” to evade. But for some reason. His intuition strongly predicted one thing—— “If I use Blink, this blade will surely cleave open my back!” Although he didn’t know how Dammon could achieve such a thing, the skills of a legendary assassin were miraculous and baffling, so Matthew dared not be careless. In the critical moment. He still chose to follow his battle instincts. To fend off the fierce incoming blade in another way—— “Ability: Rock Barb”! Whiz, whiz, whiz! The sound of air being torn through echoed repeatedly. With the ability support shared by the “Wild Boar King,” many layers of solid rock armor quickly formed over Matthew’s skin. And atop those rocks. Grew one after another sharp and hard barb! However, faced with these fearsome barbs. The legendary assassin’s lips curled into a mocking smirk. His blade continued without slowing, aiming straight at Matthew’s back through the barbs. Bang! A muffled sound. The blade sliced through the surface layer of rock, shattering numerous barbs. The legendary assassin snorted coldly. His blade pushed further in. But the next second. His expression suddenly changed: “Huh?” “A second layer?” Behind the rock layer. Where the blade reached, there was unexpectedly a second layer of extremely hard rock armor! Dammon’s eyes turned sharp instantly. As a legendary assassin. His insight was naturally high. In the blink of an eye, he could tell the first layer of rock barbs stemmed from Matthew’s abilities, while the second layer was a pure armor formed by a spell scroll hastily torn apart. In normal times. This rock armor certainly wouldn’t hinder Dammon’s blade. But to restrain his killing intent and avoid the recent domain aura, the blade’s power was forced to decrease significantly. So by this point. Unless he continued with a second wave of attack, otherwise it was already difficult to pose more threat to Matthew! “There’s a gap…” “A flaw?” “Or a deliberately laid trap?” Suddenly. Dammon noticed a gap about the width of a pinky finger in the first layer of rock barbs. To him. This gap was sufficient to support completing the second wave of assault. Replace Matthew with an ordinary person. Dammon would also believe that his subsequent “Seize the Opportunity” move would definitely be a great success. But the enemy is the famous “Destroyer”! “Most likely a trap!” Dammon calmly judged. In the way of the assassin, ambush is most important. Others only see the glory of successful assassination, unaware of how long those assassins lie in ambush for that moment. Dammon was well aware. His first wave of attack sacrificed power for stealth, though achieving the sneak attack objective, it failed to produce the desired outcome. By this, he had already failed. All previous preparations only culminated in this chance, which could only end in failure. Then as it dragged further. His chance of success would drop lower. The risk of getting himself stuck here would also rise sharply. He wouldn’t make such a losing deal. “Leave!” Dammon decisively prepared to retreat. But just at that moment. All rock armor unexpectedly collapsed automatically! Amidst flying sand and stone, a figure burst out from inside. And what shot forward fastest was an opponent’s finger! Dammon’s pupils shrank. It was an eerie green finger, emitting incredibly terrifying negative energy aura! “Finger of Death?” “Knowing I’m about to leave, still daring to attack?” Dammon wasn’t shocked but delighted. If Matthew constantly hid within a turtle shell forged of various spells, for safety Dammon would definitely make a hasty departure. But now, the enemy abandoned defense, choosing a more aggressive strategy. Then Dammon must teach him a lesson—— “Facing a legendary assassin, any aggressive strategy might cost your life”! In the next second. Dammon ducked his stature, lightly and swiftly brushed his left hand over the red gemstone attached to his chest. Suddenly. The red gemstone emitted a warm glow. “Mystical Item: Divine Phoenix’s Blood Tear”! The power of the mystical item was activated. Dammon’s entire body was enveloped in a layer of gentle red light. He felt his body warm, his heart filled with a sense of calm, peace, and happiness! “While the Divine Phoenix’s Blood Tear is activated, it grants complete immunity to instant death!” “This is the golden opportunity to take down Matthew!” With this thought. Dammon’s blade spun around. He entirely ignored that finger, swinging a blade face-to-face again! Clang! A shovel was thrust between the two. Dammon’s blade was blocked by the shovel, but he didn’t mind at all, because at this range, their faces were already close together. He could clearly see. How much stamina Matthew expended to parry that blade. Even blood seeped lightly at the corner of his mouth! “There’s still a chance!” Dammon wanted to press the attack. But just then. The seemingly feeble finger touched his chest. Poof! Matthew’s fingertip pierced through the red glow cast by Divine Phoenix’s Blood Tear, thrusting into the flesh of Dammon’s chest. In that instant. The unconcerned Dammon’s eyes suddenly showed a dramatic change. Then. His body started exhibiting strange and subtle convulsions! His gaze became elusive, seemingly dodging or resisting something! His lips even curled into a lecherous smile, as if entering some very peculiar stage!
