Chapter 555: Finger of Death and the Mother of Slaves

Translator: Lonelytree

“You have signed a consultant agreement with the Sphinx. For the next 500 years, he must spend half of his time in the cemetery at your disposal.”

‘ Welcome to Matthew’s cemetery!”

The black and hard arms disappeared in an instant.

Matthew’s face was also filled with a warm smile.

“Dear Mr. Sphinx, I believe you will soon adapt to the environment here and find the feeling of home here!

“But I have to remind you that your current body is too big. When you walk between the cemeteries, it’s best to change to a smaller and more approachable image.”

The Sphinx said angrily,

“Of course, I know!

“What you’re seeing now is my mythical image. I have a mortal image! Meow!”

As he spoke, his body rapidly shrank.

He turned into a clean, furless cat with big eyes!

At this moment.

Sif, who didn’t know the truth, squeezed through the pile of skeletons. She took a fancy to the furless cat in the crowd and picked him up excitedly.

“Is this your new pet, Matthew?”

The furless cat pouted.

Matthew blinked at her.

‘ I guess so. If you’re free, you can show Mr. Sphinx around the cemetery.

“He will soon fall in love with this place, I believe.”

Hint: A new Knowledge Advisor, Sphinx, has been added to your cemetery.

You have obtained a small amount of strategic experience (Ritual Field).

You can use the following actions to increase your strategic experience and eventually increase the strategic level of the cemetery.

Recruit more Guardians (Elite Mode and above).

Build more auxiliary buildings.

Open up more floors and areas.

Build more negative energy channels.

Summon more intermediate undead.

The forced participation of the Sphinx had increased his experience in the cemetery strategy and building by a small margin.

Matthew looked at the progress bar. He was about two-thirds away from reaching level 2. It did not seem too far away.

The upgrade of the cemetery’s strategic level meant that the ritual field would become stronger.

The importance of managing the home ground had been vividly reflected in the scene just now.

If Matthew wanted to build the cemetery into an unprecedented fortress, he had to take it step by step to meet all the needs.

It might be a little too early to open the second floor, and so is the negative energy channel. I can try to build additional buildings and summon more ultimate undead.”

In his thoughts.

Matthew dispersed the crowd and returned to the workshop.

After he sat down.

He chose to enter the Necromancy Domain that had been accumulating for a period of time!

In an instant.

Endless darkness enveloped him.

And in the deepest part of the darkness.

A flash of white light flew toward him at lightning speed.

The white light flew faster and faster.

But Matthew seemed to be unable to catch it.

Soon, he realized.

His body was also flying backwvards.

This scene lasted for a very long time.

In the end.

The halo around the white light spread out like water.

It formed a large grey area.

It was in those grey areas.

Matthew saw endless spell runes.

Each group of spell runes represented the time of a supreme necromancer.

He looked at it hungrily.

However, it felt like five minutes had passed.

The runes that lingered in the gray area were swallowed by the endless darkness.

A huge force of gravity pressed down on Matthew’s shoulder.

The illusion in front of him instantly disappeared.

Hint: You have successfully entered the sub-domain of spells, Necromancy.

The exploration state is new.

As a reward for stepping into the domain, you will obtain one of the following three abilities:

Spell Ability Transformation (You can specify a spell to transform it into an ability. The transformed spell will not have any forward movement when cast and will not consume mana.)

Warning: It will take about a month for the spell to be transformed into an ability, and there is a moderate chance of failure.

More summoned creatures (Your Undead Summoning has been upgraded. When summoning low-level undead, you will be able to obtain a higher number of summoned creatures.

(Skeleton 80, Zombie 80, Ghost 40)

Finger of Death (You have learned the Tier 4 spell Finger of Death in advance. You can concentrate a large amount of negative energy on a finger you specify. When you touch a living thing on a physical level, the latter will bear a relatively harsh death penalty.

In particular, your spells Astrid’s Claw and Mage’s Hand can share some of the effects with Finger of Death.

The entry into the Necromancy Domain was ordinary.

Matthew only hated that his memory was not good enough. Otherwise, if he had memorized more knowledge, he might have gained more than he did now. As for the three abilities, he chose Finger of Death without hesitation.

It wasn’t that this choice was outstanding.

It was just that everything else was too weak.

Spell Ability Transformation ” looked okay, but Matthew didn’t have any spells that were particularly worthy of ability transformation.

Moreover, there was a certain probability of failure.

” More Summoned Creatures ” was also very ordinary, mainly because this thing was an additional increase in the number limit, so it couldn’t enjoy the tenfold bonus of the Undead Army.

Matthew really did not lack this now. What he needed was more intermediate undead.

As for the Finger of Death…

Although this spell was a Tier 4 spell, it was actually a little better than the Tier 5 Law of Death.

Law of Death created a magic ball to hit the enemy, which was easily blocked by small creatures..
