The necromancer just wants to plant trees.

Chapter 585: Horrifying Form: Scarecrow of Disaster!

……

"stop!"

"I told you, it was just a test!"

Tanya screamed.

However, Matthew's movements showed no sign of stopping.

boom!
boom!
boom!
He smashed the glass jars one after another.

A strong stench of corpses soon filled the hall at the top of the tower.

As the colorful special liquid flowed into the gaps between the floor, many floor tiles began to be severely corroded.

The most serious areas were even corroded with small holes.

When the liquid is flushed.

The bodies of girls of different races stored in the glass jars also fell out.

Matthew saw it clearly.

When the bodies left the special liquid and the completely sealed environment, the surface of their skin instantly began to sag and melt, and then even the skin and flesh disappeared into the air.

In the end, only a bunch of lifeless skeletons were left!
Matthew observed.

Each glass jar contains the body of a young woman. They are all very young and their bodies are in good condition, but no one knows where their souls have gone.

The knowledge and literacy from the realm of the dead told him.

These bodies are not artificial products such as "cloning", but the bodies of real intelligent life!

Most of them are humans.

A small number are fairies, orcs, elves and female creatures of other races in the astral plane.

obviously.

These skins were collected by Danya herself as a place for her soul to reside.

As for the original owners of these bodies.

I'm afraid they have all become the world-weary spirits that were destroyed by Matthew before!
"Not only is there a body that serves as a container for the soul, but there is also an emotional core..."

Matthew threw a quick punch.

His actions seemed reckless and full of revenge, but in fact, while disrupting Danya's deployment, he never forgot to observe the situation in the glass jar.

Apart from those shocking skins that attract attention.

He also found colorful crystal balls in the cans.

Each crystal ball contains a flame of pure color.

This flame is not ordinary.

Instead, it represents the fire of desire of extreme emotions!

"I see."

"The reason why Danya can remain relatively sane is because she has separated all emotions from her soul."

"She didn't transform herself into a lich as I thought, but took a more dangerous path!"

Matthew's heart moved.

He stretched out his hand, trying to quickly pick up the crystal ball that was rolling on the ground.

Unfortunately, his pale hands touched those crystal balls.

The latter exploded automatically with a bang!

"Touch trap."

Matthew frowned.

This is the spell mechanism that Danya preset on the crystal ball in advance. Once someone touches it, it will automatically explode.

This may be to prevent someone from stealing her fire of desire.

And then affect her soul.

But now.

Without their sealing containers, these fires of desire could only flow in one direction.

That's where Danya's soul really lies!

Matthew suddenly looked in the direction where the countless flames of desire were surging.

"over there!"

He raised his head.

Above a very dimly lit pillar at the top of the tower, a slightly flickering black light was seen!

That's a black cat.

A black cat with a strong smell of death.

Most of the black cat's body had rotted away, but Matthew sensed an extremely dangerous aura from it.

There was an ordinary cat tag hanging around the black cat's neck.

The word "Ferog" was written on it.

"This is Danya's pet, the undead cat Ferrog..."

"And Danya's soul is hiding in Ferrog's cat card!"

Matthew was excited.

He was just about to rush forward and take down the undead cat.

But a figure suddenly appeared in the direction of the stairs:
"What are you doing?"

"Why make such a mess here?"

The maid Emma ran up angrily, lifting her skirt.

The look she gave Matthew was full of questioning, anger and disappointment.

Matthew didn't have time to answer her.

He wanted to keep a close eye on the trail of the undead cat, but when Emma interrupted him, the black cat disappeared right under Matthew's nose!
Matthew didn't even blink.

Just a momentary deviation in concentration caused the coordinates and breath of the undead cat to be lost!
"leave here!"

Matthew warned Emma.

Emma seemed to have no idea what was going on.

She strode towards Matthew, shouting as she went:
"You are the one who should leave, right?"

"I never thought you were such an evil..."

Emma's voice suddenly stopped.

Because at that moment.

A black cat emerged noiselessly from the shadow of the nearby pillar.

It suddenly jumped onto Emma's back, then lowered its head and bit her neck. After a slight suck, Emma's body collapsed instantly like a deflated ball!

"Ah I……"

Last second.

Emma's lips were still trembling.

Next breath.

Her lips, teeth, and face skin fell to the floor one after another, making strange crackling sounds!

swish swish.

The black cat lay on Emma's skin and sucked greedily.

soon.

The flesh-and-blood maid disappeared, leaving only a rough human skin, messy hair and teeth on the ground.

The black cat lazily lay on the human skin and burped.

It waved its claws and turned out the skull from under the human skin.

The green light that lit up in the latter's head seemed so frightened and terrified:

"Don't eat me, don't eat me!"

"So that's how it is. I remember now. So that's how it is..."

"My body, you clearly promised him that you would give me a body, you promised him that you would give me a brand new life, why did it turn out like this, wuwuwu..."

The skull cried very sadly.

At this point.

Of course Matthew could tell the identity of this skull.

Emma.

"It really is her!"

Matthew's pupils contracted violently.

She is the Emma that was held in the arms of Blinken, the second-in-command of the Dragon Cult and former Alliance traitor, in the Bitterwater Swamp!

It's not hard to guess from Emma's tone.

Blinken seemed to have reached some kind of agreement with Danya, who promised to give Emma a body.

This is also the reason why she can be active around Danya as a maid.

"Right."

"Danya's hometown in the Bitter Water Swamp is not far from the Dalong Lake. It is reasonable that she has visited the tomb of King Mingdan."
"After the Great Tear, the plane seal will become loose, and it is possible that the second-in-command of the Dragon Worshiping Cult will escape."

"From this point of view, there is a high probability of collusion between Blinken and Dania. I just don't know if he has become a legend..."

For an instant.

Many thoughts flashed through Matthew's mind.

He is ready to fight against anything.

Including the potential legendary mage Blinken!

"Are you so anxious to suck Emma dry because there's something in her?"

Matthew suddenly asked:

"You were afraid that the thing would fall into my hands and become disadvantageous to you, so you took the initiative, right?"

A cold snort came from the cat tag under the black cat's neck.

next second.

The claw flipped again.

A ruddy blood-red crystal was directly taken out from under the human skin!
"That'smine!"

"That'smine!"

Skull-head Emma shouted excitedly on the ground.

Unfortunately, the black cat just pushed her away with one claw.

Then it swallowed the blood crystal in one gulp.

Embers Blood Crystal.

Indeed it is.

Matthew was not surprised.

I think Danya gave Emma a body through this treasure of immortality.

No wonder Danya is so anxious.

If this thing falls into Matthew's hands, the imbalance between the two will be completely gone.

Matthew can do a lot of things directly through the connection between the blood crystal and Danya's soul.

Even if there is no way to kill her directly.

At least it can tie up most of her energy.

Unfortunately.

"I'm still not smart enough. I've already noticed something unusual, but I'm not willing to assume the enemy has the worst intentions..."

Matthew reflected silently.

However, Danya prevented Emma from falling into Matthew's hands.

Now it's completely exposed.

The previous pretense was obviously just to achieve her desired goal.

nowadays.

Both Danya and Matthew understood.

between the two parties.

There must be only a fight to the death!

"I just told you to stop, but you didn't listen."

"In fact, your best outcome is to take the magic book and leave directly."

"I have compromised with you, but you are pushing me too far!"

The black cat was playing with its teeth and hair on the floor out of boredom.

Danya's voice came out of its chest:

"You actually released the fire of my desire."

"Do you know how much mental energy I spent to suppress them?"

"You have no idea what you're about to face!"

"Because you don't know what kind of monster you have unleashed!"

"Roar!"

Tanya's voice became increasingly shrill.

To the last few sentences.

It turned into a roar like a wild beast.

boom!
An invisible air wave exploded quickly.

The remaining glass jars all exploded.

Many more young girls' skins flowed out along with the liquid.

Along with more fire of desire, it is integrated into the black cat's cat card.

In the corner of the hall.

A dark shadow is rapidly taking shape.

Matthew looked over suddenly.

The black shadow looked huge, but in fact, its internal core was just a very small frame.

It was a scarecrow with many fine threads sewn on its face!

The black cat appeared silently on the scarecrow's shoulder.

Its cat brand then melted into endless shadows and negative energy.

Vaguely.

Matthew seemed to see the appearance of the huge ember blood crystal.

On top of the blood crystal.

It also reflects the faces of the young girls, some of them numb or in pain.

quickly.

The blood crystal sank into the straw man's chest.

All the elements related to negative energy and negative emotions in the hall are also pouring into the scarecrow's body at an incredible speed!

It's getting bigger!
"hey-hey……"

The scarecrow suddenly grinned.

next second.

Its body broke through the top of the tower, and the top of the tower shattered instantly, with a large amount of falling rocks crashing down.

Followed by.

The entire tower began to collapse from top to bottom!
Between the chaos.

Matthew moved to the high altitude outside the tower as quickly as possible.

It's not that he didn't want to stop Danya's actions.

But the other party's way of changing is really unpredictable.

This doesn't look like a spell, it doesn't look like an ability, it doesn't look like a ritual site—

It seems like some kind of change in form!

Rumble!
As the scarecrow continued to grow, its body soon occupied the entire tower.

The straw man shook randomly.

A large amount of bricks and stones on the tower also fell to the ground.

boom!
boom!
boom!
Dust rose all over the sky.

at last.

The scarecrow's height was more than twice that of the tower.

The tower itself was also difficult to support.

Eventually it collapsed at an extremely fast speed.

Soon.

All that was left was the ruins of the Wandering Tower!

And this moment.

Standing on the ruins.

It turned out to be a giant scarecrow standing tall.

It exudes negative emotions and auras such as evil, pain, violence, cruelty, and hatred all the time.

Its dark green eyes carried a frightening negative energy.

Ordinary people only need to look at it.

I'm afraid he will become a villain who does all kinds of evil!

Matthew saw Demo and his group escape in a panic from the ruins of the collapsed tower.

As Dimo flew, he loudly warned the other people in Baiyan City:

"Get out of here first!"

"Danya has gone completely crazy!"

"Her condition looks worse than Dickens's. She even used the "Fright Form" without caring about her life!" "Anyone who gets close will be ruthlessly destroyed by her!"

Horror form?
A trace of solemnity flashed in Matthew's eyes.

He had heard of this term.

This is a legendary professional feature that a very small number of the most outstanding necromancers may obtain after advancing to the legendary level!
It is somewhat similar to the "Soul Projection" that a high-level Necromancer may obtain.

However, the status and rarity of the "Horror Form" are much higher!
Matthew didn't know much about the horror form.

But from Demo's tone, it's not hard to tell that this thing should be quite scary.

Not just for others.

The same is probably true for Danya herself.

Otherwise, Dimo wouldn't have said she was crazy.

Since Matthew could make Demo, also a legendary necromancer, so fearful, according to common sense, he should retreat temporarily.

"But not this time."

"This time, it is the beginning of my legendary journey."

"All the demons and monsters that block my way will become my stepping stones!"

A determined look flashed in Matthew's eyes.

next moment.

He stepped on the magic carpet and flew towards the chest of the giant straw man in the sky!
period.

More and more belated data columns also emerged with relevant information.

……

"Warning: You are entering the territory of the "Disaster Straw Man"!

Calamity Scarecrow: A super-giant monster from the undead realm, the horrific form of the legendary necromancer Danya.

Fields: disaster, bad luck, negative energy, death, behemoth, dragon slaying, machinery, agriculture...

caveat!

The disaster straw man has the following three fatal characteristics:

1. The mouth of the disaster straw man is sewn shut, so it cannot open under normal circumstances;
But once the straw man opens his mouth, a devouring airflow with the power to destroy the world will be formed.

All the souls that are swept up by the airflow and sucked into the grass' mouth will be annihilated instantly!

2. The Disaster Straw Man loves to laugh. Under normal circumstances, its laughter will only upset people but will not cause any substantial harm.

But in one continuous laugh.

Its ninth, twenty-seventh, and eighty-first laughs will likely cause a high probability of fatal harm.

Unit killed by the straw man's laughter.

Its soul will be assimilated into part of the straw man.

3. Crows and black cats are the best companions of the Disaster Scarecrow.

If you observe these two creatures in a straw man's field or at the edge of his field.

At the moment when the observation takes effect.

A certain amount of "bad luck" will accumulate on you.

The more crows and black cats were observed, the more they were seen.

The more layers of "bad luck" you accumulate, the higher the level.

The straw man will detonate bad luck under appropriate circumstances, and you will then face extremely unlucky and malicious circumstances depending on the number of layers detonated.

Just a little setback.

It might even turn you into ashes..."

……

“That’s quite impressive…”

"But the Calamity Man actually has the Dragon Slaying Domain? It seems that Danya has attacked dragons many times. Is this a common trait of legendary wizards?"

Matthew secretly complained in his heart.

He flew to the straw man's shoulder, staring ahead, his voice was quite steady, but his tone was somewhat teasing:

"Actually, I just smashed those glass jars to test you."

"As long as you pass the test successfully, I will offer you the extra-dimensional matter with both hands."

"It's a pity... your temper seemed a little impatient and you failed the test."

Matthew's calmness and composure diluted a lot of the pressure brought by the straw man.

At this time, Danya's extremely cold response came from the chest of the disaster straw man:
"You dare to taunt when you are about to die. Do you really think you are the child of destiny?"

Matthew shook his head:

"No no no."

"I mean everything I say."

"If you know me well enough, you'd know that I've never been a person who likes to eat alone. Before you, there were people who asked me for extra-dimensional matter, and I always met their requests."

"In fact, I am a person who can be easily bribed. All it takes is a little bit of kindness."

"Unfortunately, the necromancer of Baiyan City seems to be very stingy with his kindness."

"Even Your Excellency, I was almost fooled, but you were unwilling to act a little longer..."

Matthew was quite emotional.

He was telling the truth. Whether it was the crow he met in the Rootless River or the old god of death who had resurrected, Matthew was not stingy in giving away extra-dimensional matter.

If Tanya could keep her good intentions.

Then the two sides would definitely not have reached the current situation.

"I really thought you would be different."

"Otherwise I wouldn't be here."

Matthew continued to sigh.

Of course he had a reason for saying these things, his purpose was to divert Danya's attention and delay time as much as possible.

Danya was fooled.

Her voice became even angrier:
"Hypocritical Alliance lackey!"

"Stop forcing your wishful thinking on me!"

"Do you think that if you work for the Alliance, you will definitely get a good ending?"

"Ha ha……"

"Go read some history, kid!"

"No necromancer recruited by the Seven Saints Alliance has a good ending!"

"After you lose your usefulness, you will be abandoned by them. You will be like a stray dog, more miserable and desperate than anyone else!"

Matthew thought thoughtfully:
"You're talking as if I'm sure to win today. It seems like you don't have much confidence in yourself."

“As for history, well, the necromancers recruited by the Alliance did not have a good ending.

But I need to remind you that this has nothing to do with the alliance.

All necromancers who have gone down in history have had bad endings—regardless of whether they have been recruited by the Alliance or not, this logical relationship is still obvious..."

Danya said disdainfully:

"Sharp-tongued."

"So that's how you pleased Isabel?"

"I thought you had more tricks up your sleeve."

Matthew touched his chin.

He heard the hidden meaning in Tanya's words.

Perhaps at the moment when he took on the task of advancing the Seven Saints, Danya, like Dickens, sensed his arrival.

They knew they were part of Matthew’s mission.

Overt and covert resistance is reasonable.

just.

"There should be another way out between the Alliance and Baiyan City besides a life-and-death struggle."

"I did not go directly to Dickens, but came to you first, precisely to explore this possibility."

“Maybe you think I came here with the mission of the alliance, but as far as I am concerned, everything I do here is more for myself.”

Matthew narrated calmly:

"I'm not so arrogant as to think I can correct the Necromancer's course."

"But the realm of the dead is indeed not something that ordinary people can control."

"You and I both know this."

“The pursuit of extremes may gain temporary power, but it will never last.”

"My path, or the path envisioned by the founder of the Chain of Human Desire, is the right direction for the necromancer community."

"You keep saying that the people in the Alliance only told you what was wrong, but they didn't tell you what was wrong."

"Is there a possibility that—"

"The right path is already in front of you, but you are deliberately turning a blind eye to it?"

"If you had not violated the oath of the Human Desire Chain, Baiyan City might not have completely parted ways with the Alliance like it has now..."

Matthew's words were rudely interrupted by Danya:
"enough!"

"What's the point of talking about this now?"

"Can you take me back to the beginning?"

"Since we can't go back, we can only move on."

"You said so much nonsense that seemed to be correct, but I just want to tell you one thing—"

"The only right thing to do is to live!"

The words have not yet fallen.

Countless shadows flew out from behind the straw man, covering the sky and the earth.

There were thousands of crows and black cats!

The moment they appeared in Matthew's field of vision.

His body seemed to be carrying a mountain on his back!

That feeling...

It weighs 10,000 tons!
Matthew was about to close his eyes.

A faint blue light suddenly rose rapidly between him and the disaster straw man.

Followed by.

More and more faint blue lights shot out from the swamps surrounding the tower, and they quickly formed an egg-shaped barrier, trapping the straw man tightly inside.

Matthew felt a lot more relaxed instantly.

The bad luck that had just accumulated on him was also swept away.

"It's the Alliance's Rune Stone..."

Matthew knows.

This is the seal of the alliance taking effect.

If there is no such seal.

Danya and Dickens had already fled, so why would they waste time talking to Matthew?

“Is this your path to becoming a legend?”

"Hiding behind the Alliance's rune barrier and saying some empty words?"

"Why don't you cross the barrier and come in to kill me?"

The disaster straw man shouted angrily:
"bring it on!"

"bring it on!"

"Kill me and you will become the most powerful necromancer!"

"If not, you're just a coward with all the talk!"

Matthew remained calm.

Of course he knew that Danya was trying to provoke him.

But this time.

He can't cut corners.

Must face it head on.

"I am coming!"

Matthew suddenly flew towards the blue barrier.

But just when he was about to cross the barrier.

A figure suddenly appeared in front of him and stopped him!

No.

There are two figures.

One was the real body, appearing near Matthew.

There was another one that seemed to be a projection. He appeared between the two Wandering Towers and seemed to be watching something.

"Ecmond?"

"Ronan?"

Matthew was not surprised by the appearance of the former.

This ceremony venue was arranged by Ekmond himself, and any unusual movements would probably not be hidden from his eyes and ears.

But why is Ronan here too?

"Ecmond came in his true form, and Ronan came in his projection. Could it be that, as Dimo said, he and Qin Wuyue have already gone to the East Continent?"

Such thoughts flashed through Matthew's mind.

Ronan smiled, nodded to him from a distance, pointed at Ecmond beside Matthew, and then stopped moving.

Matthew nodded slightly, then looked at Ecmond.

"Long time no see, Matthew."

"How can I put it? It seems that wherever you go, you make quite a commotion."

Ecmond continued to speak with a smile.

His tone was kind and gentle, giving people the feeling of an elder who cares about the younger generation.

Matthew smiled bitterly:
"I also want to complete my promotion quietly."

He knew that his actions would definitely not be hidden from Ecmond, so he might as well be more honest.

"Some people are destined to never be quiet."

Ekmond said with a smile:
"And the teacher once said that a strong person should not be low-key, but should show his status and strength as a strong person at all times, grab everyone's attention, and monopolize the favor of the plane's will."

"She believes that the strong will always be strong."

"So she never considers other people's opinions when doing things."

"It's just that she happened to join the alliance, otherwise she would probably act even more recklessly."

Regarding Isabel's style of doing things.

Matthew certainly felt the same way.

But what does Ekmond mean by saying this at this time?
Before Matthew could figure it out.

Ecmond suddenly said:
"Are these two remnants of Baiyan City your targets for completing the advanced mission?"

Matthew nodded.

Ekmund smiled and said:
"I shouldn't have interfered in such an important matter."

"but……"

"These two ignorant necromancers had offended me before. At that time, they claimed that I won them over by tampering with the chains of human desire, and they were very dissatisfied with this."

"So, before you do anything, let me beat them up first to vent my anger, okay?"

This seems to be a question.

In fact, Matthew was not given any choice at all.

The voice just fell.

Ekmond took the initiative to fly into the barrier and launched a fierce attack on the disaster straw man that Danya transformed into!
Just for a moment.

The situation in the barrier is ever-changing.

A lot of smoke rose.

Accompanied by Danya's curses.

More electric lights and dazzling colors filled the interior of the barrier.

quickly.

Matthew couldn't see what was going on inside.

"What is Ecmond doing?"

Matthew frowned.

Is this guy digging a hole for himself?

"Do not worry."

"Ecmond just wants to squeeze one more fortune out of them before they die."

"That's his usual approach."
