Chapter 81: Who Said Necromancers Can ‘t Fight?

Translator: Lonelytree

Withering Light was a unique ability.

After activation, it was similar to a halo effect, but it could not be stacked. The

HP reduction was not much, but the advantage was that it continued to reduce HP. This characteristic was very advantageous in a long tug-of-war.

Another unique feature was that…

It was not Matthew’s mana that was used to activate and maintain this ability.

It was the soul fire of the chosen undead.

In a sense, this was a mutual destruction.

However, Matthew did not care about this flaw.

Would a necromancer lack cannon fodder?

He looked at the densely packed Kobolds and Silvermoon Zombies in front of him.

Matthew felt a deep sense of satisfaction.

“Withering Light is also a perfect ability for Corpse Explosion, but the casting distance is not far enough.”

In fact.

Summoning so many undead creatures at the same time, Matthew also realized that his control range was reaching its limit. This was not only related to mana but also to vision.

Matthew looked around.

Soon, he locked onto a tall oak tree.

In the next moment.

He transformed into a raven and spread his wings while he flew. At this moment, the moonlight was strong, and Matthew did not sway forward at all when he entered the wilderness form. His movements were very smooth.

With a few flops, he successfully arrived at the top of the tree.

After transforming back into his human form, Matthew stood still and looked ahead. His vision suddenly widened, and his control over the undead creatures returned to a steady level of proficiency.

At this moment.

The owl Ella flew over.

She shouted nervously,

“Matthew, there are too many enemies. I’m a little afraid. I don’t dare to fight with you. I can only give you some help within my ability.”

As she spoke.

A white light appeared from her body and quickly entered Matthew’s body.

[Hint: You have received the high-level blessing of Ella, the Soul of Nature,” Elegance of the Wind

[Elegance of the Wind: Your evasion has been greatly increased.]

Evasion was a good attribute.

Before Matthew could thank her, another white light suddenly flew over from the crown of the oak tree and sank into his body.

[Hint: You have received Fairy Princess Lulu’s high-level blessing,” Good Luck Bang Bang “]

[Good Luck Bang Bang: Your luck has been greatly improved.]

Matthew looked down.

Below the tree crown, a group of oak tree fairies were talking about something. Then, they cheered Matthew on.

As for the shy Lulu.

After casting the Advanced Blessing, it disappeared without a trace.

However, Matthew still felt that his chances of winning were greatly increased with the two high-level blessings. He knew that even for Nature’s Soul, casting a high-level blessing was extremely taxing.

This could be seen from Ella’s listless state. Lulu was probably no exception.

“I must guard the oak forest!”

Matthew turned his firm gaze back to the battlefield.

Just as the enemy was completing their deployment and preparation.

The first reinforcement from Rolling Stone Town was already in position.

It was the garrison led by Blake. There were about twenty people. They were also well-equipped and well-armed. However, they did not have horses, so they arrived a little slower.

Under Matthew and Blake’s communication.

This group of guards was arranged behind the undead creatures, forming the second line of defence in the north of the oak forest.

If Matthew’s undead army was broken through…

Then they would have to face the enemy head-on.

The knights of the Lord’s Guards were arranged between the front line and the eastern firewall. This meant that they could cut into the battlefield from both sides at any time to complete tasks such as breaking the array.

However, even territorial disputes were rare these days.

In recent years, the knights only had the experience of exterminating bandits and expelling kobolds. On the real battlefield, whether they could display actual combat strength was still a big question mark.

Zeller and his Elemental guarded the eastern route.

No matter what, they could not let the gnolls attack the farm area. This was the consensus of Matthew and the others.

However, in this way…

The pressure of the main battlefield was almost completely on Matthew.

But Matthew was not afraid at all.

Instead, he became even more excited.

Because this was what a necromancer should be like in his dreams. One person could defend against tens of millions of enemies!

“Boiling…”

The bone dragon that was hiding among the undead lowered its head. The flickering soul fire made it look even more mysterious and majestic.

“It’s here!”

Matthew’s eyes narrowed.

At the very front.

The Wild Boarman Warrior carrying the flag was the first to charge into the Kobold Zombies.

Withering Light!

Matthew immediately ignited the soul fire of a few zombies.

Grey light filled with negative energy shot out from the bodies of the undead and quickly enveloped the body of the Wild Boar Warrior.

However, the latter was not afraid at all.

He did not even use the huge axe on his back. Instead, he held the flag with both hands and waved it left and right as if he was sweeping the ground!

Hualala!

The zombies in front of the Wild Boarman were sent flying.

The Kobolds on both sides that were hit by his battle flag were also sent flying in the air like trash that had been swept away!

What a powerful warrior!

Matthew’s eyelids twitched.

The undead army was not as resilient as the human infantry.

At the same time, the Boarman Warrior’s physique was too terrifying. No one could stand up to him.

Matthew noticed that he had a dark red lustre similar to Anderson’s. This guy’s position in the Order of Calamity was obviously not low.

It looked like the fierce Wild Boarman Warrior was about to tear through the defence line with his own strength..
