The Necromancer in the Wizarding World

Alchemy genius Matthews challenges the 196th ranked shadow apprentice Clark. This duel attracts the attention of many apprentices.

Matthews' popularity has been growing day by day, and his renewed challenge to the strongest witchcraft apprentice in the Cave of Eternal Night has become the focus of people's attention.

Matthews entered the arena and without any unnecessary words, he directly performed his newly acquired witchcraft - an advanced version of death perception.

Yesterday, after he finished engraving the staff, it was already too late and the engraving process itself was very exhausting, so he did not have time to test this new witchcraft.

After performing this spell, Matthews gained a deep understanding of this perception witchcraft. It consumed more than twice the mental and magical power of the previous ordinary version.

But it has to be admitted that the perception effect of this witchcraft is extremely outstanding. He can accurately sense the opponent's real-time position, rather than just capturing its slight fluctuations.

However, Clark knew nothing about Matthews's perception ability. After receiving the challenge notice, he immediately found Dex and asked for the details of his battle with Matthews.

When he learned that Dex lost unexpectedly and Matthews won by luck, he felt relieved and no longer took Matthews' challenge seriously.

Clark used the shadows to sneak around Matthews' barrier twice, and then adopted a tactic of making a feint to the east and then launching a real surprise attack.

Matthews had suffered because of this before, so he was not so easily fooled. When he noticed the opponent's attack posture, he knew that he was not using his full strength. Such an attack intensity could not break through the magic barrier at all.

However, he still used magic bombs to pretend to fight back, but in fact his death stun was always ready.

Clark's real surprise attack broke through Matthews' magic barrier with one strike, followed by a rapidly approaching shadow fight.

Matthews's death stun rushed forward in time, but to his shock, the opponent crushed it directly with his staff. This was really incredible. He had never known that Shadow Fighting could be so powerful.

Clark's advance was not hindered much, and another attack came towards him.

Matthews could only slide to avoid this powerful blow, however, he had no way to avoid the next blow and could only cross his arms to withstand it.

Although Shadow Fight has a very strong burst, its sustainability is very poor, and generally does not exceed five critical hits. The number of critical hits is affected by many factors, including the strength of the caster, the state of witchcraft burning, and the intensity of each burst.

Unfortunately, the power of Clark's first critical hit was too great. After all, he was facing Death Stun, the strongest attack sorcery in the death side apprentice stage.

This resulted in the explosive power of his third attack being greatly insufficient, so this attack did not cause much damage to Matthews. Not only that, but Matthews took the opportunity to tightly grasp his staff.

After Matthews grabbed the opponent's staff, he quickly freed his other hand and went straight for Clark's throat. He resolutely decided to engage in close combat with his opponent, not giving him the opportunity to perform shadow raids and fight again.

Matthews was not afraid of the opponent who did not have the blessing of Shadow Fighting. Even Garen, who was ranked first in the Shadow Department, was comparable to him in terms of bare-handed strength.

Sure enough, after just a few rounds of fighting, Clark's body was covered with deep bloody scratches from Matthews's claws. Despite this, he still held on to his staff tightly, as having his staff taken away was a great humiliation for a wizard.

Matthews felt a little bored. The opponent's bare-handed fighting ability was far inferior to his. He shook his head and let go of the staff in his hand. He believed that the opponent would not continue to entangle.

After all, the fight was being broadcast live. If Clark really wanted to continue, he would not only embarrass himself, but would also bring discredit to the entire Shadow Department.

Clark didn't expect Matthews to let go so suddenly that he used too much force and took several steps back to stabilize himself. He stared at Matthews in silence for a long time, and finally shouted out his defeat helplessly.

Charles is a staunch supporter of Matthews and has never missed any of his live broadcasts.

As soon as Matthews walked out of the transport room, he immediately came up to him and said excitedly: "Matthews, you are so awesome!!"

Matthews was also very happy. The strength of the first two hundred apprentices had obviously improved. If it weren't for the improved perception, he would not be able to deal with Clark's swift attack.

Finistin also came forward and exclaimed: "Matthews, your progress is incredible."

However, despite what she said, she was somewhat puzzled by Matthews' fighting style. As an apprentice of ranged sorcery, why did he prefer close combat so much? This was really beyond her comprehension.

Matthews was somewhat helpless. Finistine was also a third-class apprentice. Didn't she need to participate in the fights? Why did she always come to watch his fights?

But he still responded politely: "Isn't this the meaning of the points battle!"

Afterwards, Matthews copied the battle footage and felt that it was time to go and have a conversation with Wizard Andre.

As for the location of Wizard Andre's laboratory, he already knew it. As long as his luck was not too bad, he should be able to meet this necromancer that he had been thinking about for a long time.

But Matthews had not walked far from the competition hall when he was stopped by a voice behind him. It turned out to be Tilly, who actually came to watch his live broadcast of the fight.

Tilly caught up from behind and said, "Matthews, I watched your fight, it was really exciting." She was deeply impressed by Matthews' quick response ability and tenacious fighting will in the battle.

Matthews nodded. This elemental apprentice gave him a really good impression. His own strength was also very strong, but his fighting will was weak. As long as he could improve in this aspect, her points ranking would definitely improve significantly.

"A real battle will only be more brutal, so never give up easily." Matthews recalled the beast fighting show he had watched in the city of Cania. The tragic end of the black bear is still vivid in his mind. Surrendering and giving up will only result in loss of life.

Tilly stood there, watching Matthews's back as he walked away. Today, she learned a lot of valuable things from Matthews' fight, and had a deeper understanding of the meaning of fighting.
