nHe began to change his clothes as quickly as possible.

n..
nAfter changing into a completely different outfit.
nMatthew’s entire temperament changed.
nNormally, he was more like a young teacher who was easy to talk to.
nBut now…
nHe was one step closer to the typical necromancer in the public’s mind.
n“Dinner is ready!”
nPeggy walked over with a pot of fried mushroom noodles.
n“I’ll eat when I come back!”
nMatthew said as he hurried into the night.
n..
nTen minutes later.
nMatthew’s figure appeared at the edge of the oak forest.
nThe only thing that accompanied him was a Mage Fire used for illumination.
nHis expression did not look too good.
nThe appearance of the suspected arsonist had greatly threatened his most important resource.
nHe was like a cat whose tail had been stepped on.
nIn an instant, he became furious.
nAccording to normal logic, he should go to the police station for help.
nHowever, Matthew considered that Blake must be busy with Sif’s matter and might not be able to free up his hands to take care of Matthew’s matters.
nSecondly, he wanted to punish this audacious arsonist personally!
n“This is the forest that I painstakingly cultivated.
n“It’s not like any Tom, Dick, or Harry can come and ruin it for me!”
nAt the edge of the oak forest.
nMatthew stood on his tiptoes and looked into the distance.
nFrom here, he could indeed see a large fire. The fire had not spread to the oak forest for the time being. Fortunately, there was no flammable fuel in this area.
nHe calmed himself down and realized that the place where the fire was burning seemed to be a farm.
nThere was only a hill between the oak forest and that place.
nMatthew had met the owner of the farm a few times, and his daughter was very cute.
nThe fire on the farm was so fierce, but there was no shout nearby. It was not difficult to guess what happened to the farm owner’s family.
n..
n“They are not ordinary bandits.”
nMatthew calmed down.
nThe oak fairy told him that there were many arsonists, and they exuded an evil and powerful aura. This meant that there was a high probability that it was done by adventurers.
nHe could not act rashly when the enemy’s combat strength was unknown.
nThus, he observed for a while.
nThen, he quickly ran to the other end of the oak forest.
nVery quickly.
nMatthew arrived at the location in his memory.
nIt was a huge haystack.
nBelow the haystack, there was a place that looked like a cellar.
nThe cellar was not very spacious.
nThe layout was a little like Matthew’s university dormitory in his previous life.
n“Puff!”
nMatthew opened the iron lid.
nHe sensed it.
nThen, he began to use the Undeed Summoning.
nUnder the guidance of magic power.
nOut of the blue.
nA ghastly white hand slammed onto the mud floor at the cellar’s exit!
nImmediately after.
nOne skeleton after another crawled out of the hole!
nNot long after.
nAt the edge of the haystack, there were 12 skeleton soldiers with pale green soul flames in their heads.
nMost of these skeleton soldiers had thick bones and high integrity. They also held weapons and small round shields. They were the elites of skeleton soldiers.
nThey were all summoned creatures that Matthew had carefully collected.
nIt took him a lot of effort to make them look like they did now.
nOne had to know that undead summoning was not something that came out of nothing.
nNo matter how powerful a necromancer was, it was impossible for them to conjure a team of skeleton soldiers out of thin air.
nSummoning undead required materials.
n..
nTake the skeleton soldiers as an example.
nSummoning them required a certain number of bones.
nIf the number were insufficient, even if the summoning was successful, the skeleton soldiers you summoned would still be missing arms and legs.
nNot to mention fighting, they might fall apart after taking two steps.
nThe reason why skeleton soldiers were synonymous with cannon fodder was because the materials they needed were relatively easy to obtain.
nThe others, such as dark warriors, blood demons, bone dragons, and soul eaters, were thousands of times more difficult to summon!
nOf course.
nThere was also a way to bypass the casting materials and obtain the summoned creature.
nThat was to build a magic circle that pointed to the negative energy plane.
nOne could directly pull the subjects over from the other side.
nHowever, the amount of resources consumed was even more shocking.
nEven a high-level mage would weigh the pros and cons before constructing such a magic circle.
nTherefore, generally speaking.
nIt was not without reason that Necromancers with low morals preferred to wander around the cemetery and mass graves.
nThey were really poor!
nAnd someone like Matthew, who had bought almost every bone in the cellar with his own money or picked it up by accident, was definitely a saint among necromancers.
n..
n“Let’s go!”
nMatthew ordered.
nThe skeleton soldiers, who were slightly slow to react, slowly followed him.
nWaves of cold air began to spread.
nIn the oak forest.
nEven the noisy night wind became silent.
nIt seemed that even they were afraid of the arrival of the undead.
n..
n“Boom!”
nA violent flame exploded in the farmland.
nThe strong wind blew, adding fuel to the fire.
nHe watched as the farm gradually disappeared into the sea of fire.
nHeiss, who was wearing a black singlet and revealing his muscles, revealed a smile that came from the bottom of his heart.
nHe suppressed the thought of continuing to set the fire.
nHe shifted his gaze to the dark forest not far away.
n“Fein’s information seems to be true. Rolling Stone Town is defenseless at a time like this!
n“Hehe, then let me bestow them with a little more shock with the flames!”
nHe strode towards the hillside.
nBehind him.
nThe six followers followed him.
n“Is everything arranged?”
nHeiss asked indifferently.
n“Boss, don’t worry. Not a single one survived. They were all burned alive!”
nOne of the scarred faces revealed a sinister smile.
nHeiss nodded in satisfaction.
nAs a Level-11 ” Arsonist “, he could feel that his strength had increased a little!
nNot much.
nBut it was clearly visible.
nIn fact.
nAccording to the original plan, he should have retreated after burning the farm, but the feeling of having his strength increased made him extremely intoxicated.
nEspecially when he noticed the oak forest in front of him, he immediately changed his mind.
nHe could feel the exuberant vitality contained in this forest. Burning this forest would bring him a great increase in strength!
nThat was about ten times the size of the farm.
nIt was almost the same as burning down a street in a city.
nHowever, the risk was far lower than setting fire to the city!
nNo arsonist could resist such a temptation.
nIn particular, Heiss could clearly sense that as long as he burned this forest, the path of flame that was originally very vague for him would become clear.
nHe could no longer hold back his crazy thoughts!
nSet fire!
nSet fire!
nHe wanted to burn it!
nBurn!
nBurn!
n..
n“Stop!”
nThey walked halfway up the hill.
nHeiss suddenly shouted.
nThe six attendants immediately surrounded him vigilantly.
n“Boss, what’s wrong? Do you want to retreat?”
nScarface asked.
nHeiss ignored him. He just stared straight ahead with his eyes wide open.
nThe night breeze brought along a faint green fluorescent light.
nThere was a faint smell of decay in the air.
n“It’s a bone flame…”
nHeiss looked thoughtfully at the row of figures slowly appearing on the hillside.
nSkeleton soldiers?
nA necromancer?
nHeiss’ furrowed brows immediately relaxed.
n“Did Fein send you here? Go back and tell him that I’ll find him after burning this forest!
n“As for whether or not to join the church, that will depend on his sincerity.”
nThe skeleton soldiers did not move.
nThe person who was hiding in the dark and controlling these undead creatures did not say anything.
nHeiss couldn’t help but laugh.
n“You’re not going to stop me, are you? With these skeletons?”
nHis followers also laughed.
nScarface volunteered.
n“Boss, I can send all these skeletons flying with a single kick!”
nHeiss shook his head.
nHis gaze searched the hillside.
nHis gaze was extremely sharp.
nHowever, he did not act rashly.
nAfter a few minutes.
nHis tense state was instantly relieved.
nThe two huge muscles on his chest also trembled.
n“Don’t be so mysterious. I’ve found your position. Didn’t Fein tell you what I am? Hehe, I’m very sensitive to temperature!”
nHe looked at the skeleton soldiers and said mockingly, “Do you necromancers like to hide among the trash? How uncreative!”
nHowever, the other party still did not answer.
nHeiss was finally enraged.
n“If you don’t get lost, I’ll burn you too!”
nAs he spoke.
nA glass bottle that was emitting flames suddenly appeared in his hand!
n“I’m not trying to be mysterious.”
nFinally.
nA voice came from behind a skeleton soldier.
n“I’m just waiting for the sacs to take effect-you’ve just inhaled them.”
nMatthew stood on the hill.
nA large amount of negative energy gushed out from the tip of the Withered Wood Staff!
n..
nSac of Decay: Acceleration of infection!
n..
n“Not good!”
nHeiss turned around.
nThe followers looked a little panicked.
nThey began to realize that something was wrong.
n“Why is my face a little itchy?”
n“The same goes for my arm!”
n“It’s so itchy! Something seemed to be growing!”
nUnder their terrified gazes.
nSome people had red bumps on their skin.
nAt first, these lumps were not eye-catching and did not feel anything.
nSoon, they became extremely itchy.
nPeople simply couldn’t control their hands from scratching.
nHe scratched.
nA large amount of yellow-green pus gushed out from it.
nSplashes everywhere on his skin.
nThe infection began to grow even faster!
nAs the infected area continued to spread.
nIn the crowd.
nThe aura coming from the negative plane became thicker and thicker!
n“Stop scratching. Kill that Necromancer, and you’ll be fine!”
nHeiss made a prompt decision and roared.
nThe group endured the itch and charged forward.
nMatthew continued to wave his staff.
nThis time.
nHe didn’t even need to chant!
n..
nUndead Summoning Spell: Contract Item!
n..
nYour ability Instant Summon is in effect!
n..
nYour ability ‘Fixed Drop’ is in effect!」
n..
nOn the hill.
nA large green circle of light appeared in the area where the group was about to rush up.
n“Quickly dodge!”
nBefore Heiss could finish.
nA tall figure descended from the sky!
nBang!
nOne of the followers couldn’t dodge in time.
nHe was smashed into meat paste!
nThe people beside him were also affected by the shock wave and rolled down the hill.
nHeiss looked over furiously.
nThe two-meter-tall figure was looking around in a daze.
nHer bones were white and flawless.
nBut the most eye-catching thing was the plate in her hand.
n“Matthew? Do you want to have dinner? Just nice, I just heated up the fried mushroom noodles again…”
nPeggy looked at Matthew happily.
n“No, throw away the fried noodles, Peggy. I want you to fight for me.”
nMatthew said.
nPeggy’s mood suddenly became serious.
nShe turned to face the arsonist.
nThen, she said to Matthew,
n“In that case, please buff me!”
n..
