Chapter 6: Arsonist
..
Matthew rushed into the room.
He began to change his clothes as quickly as possible.
..
[You have equipped Mist Robe (+1)!]
[Mist Robe (Armor +0): Casting Speed +10%] Slightly increases mental power recovery speed]
..
[You have equipped Withered Wood Staff!]
[Withered Wood Staff (Attack +1): Undead Summoning +1]
..
[You have equipped the Magical Bag!]
[Magical Bag: Contained eight slots. Each slot can store up to 12 items of the same type.]
..
[Currently stored items: Rotten Spore/Phantom Butterfly/Scrolls]
..
After changing into a completely different outfit.
Matthew's entire temperament changed.
Normally, he was more like a young teacher who was easy to talk to.
But now...
He was one step closer to the typical necromancer in the public's mind.
"Dinner is ready!"
Peggy walked over with a pot of fried mushroom noodles.
"I'll eat when I come back!"
Matthew said as he hurried into the night.
..
Ten minutes later.
Matthew's figure appeared at the edge of the oak forest.
The only thing that accompanied him was a Mage Fire used for illumination.
His expression did not look too good.
The appearance of the suspected arsonist had greatly threatened his most important resource.
He was like a cat whose tail had been stepped on.
In an instant, he became furious.
According to normal logic, he should go to the police station for help.
However, 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.
Secondly, he wanted to punish this audacious arsonist personally!
"This is the forest that I painstakingly cultivated.
"It's not like any Tom, Dick, or Harry can come and ruin it for me!"
At the edge of the oak forest.
Matthew stood on his tiptoes and looked into the distance.
From 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.
He calmed himself down and realized that the place where the fire was burning seemed to be a farm.
There was only a hill between the oak forest and that place.
Matthew had met the owner of the farm a few times, and his daughter was very cute.
The 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.
..
"They are not ordinary bandits."
Matthew calmed down.
The 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.
He could not act rashly when the enemy's combat strength was unknown.
Thus, he observed for a while.
Then, he quickly ran to the other end of the oak forest.
Very quickly.
Matthew arrived at the location in his memory.
It was a huge haystack.
Below the haystack, there was a place that looked like a cellar.
The cellar was not very spacious.
The layout was a little like Matthew's university dormitory in his previous life.
"Puff!"
Matthew opened the iron lid.
He sensed it.
Then, he began to use the [Undeed Summoning].
Under the guidance of magic power.
Out of the blue.
A ghastly white hand slammed onto the mud floor at the cellar's exit!
Immediately after.
One skeleton after another crawled out of the hole!
Not long after.
At the edge of the haystack, there were 12 skeleton soldiers with pale green soul flames in their heads.
Most 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.
They were all summoned creatures that Matthew had carefully collected.
It took him a lot of effort to make them look like they did now.
One had to know that undead summoning was not something that came out of nothing.
No matter how powerful a necromancer was, it was impossible for them to conjure a team of skeleton soldiers out of thin air.
Summoning undead required materials.
..
Take the skeleton soldiers as an example.
Summoning them required a certain number of bones.
If the number were insufficient, even if the summoning was successful, the skeleton soldiers you summoned would still be missing arms and legs.
Scarface volunteered.
"Boss, I can send all these skeletons flying with a single kick!"
Heiss shook his head.
His gaze searched the hillside.
His gaze was extremely sharp.
However, he did not act rashly.
After a few minutes.
His tense state was instantly relieved.
The two huge muscles on his chest also trembled.
"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!"
He looked at the skeleton soldiers and said mockingly, "Do you necromancers like to hide among the trash? How uncreative!"
However, the other party still did not answer.
Heiss was finally enraged.
"If you don't get lost, I'll burn you too!"
As he spoke.
A glass bottle that was emitting flames suddenly appeared in his hand!
"I'm not trying to be mysterious."
Finally.
A voice came from behind a skeleton soldier.
"I'm just waiting for the sacs to take effect-you've just inhaled them."
Matthew stood on the hill.
A large amount of negative energy gushed out from the tip of the Withered Wood Staff!
..
[Sac of Decay: Acceleration of infection!]
..
"Not good!"
Heiss turned around.
The followers looked a little panicked.
They began to realize that something was wrong.
"Why is my face a little itchy?"
"The same goes for my arm!"
"It's so itchy! Something seemed to be growing!"
Under their terrified gazes.
Some people had red bumps on their skin.
At first, these lumps were not eye-catching and did not feel anything.
Soon, they became extremely itchy.
People simply couldn't control their hands from scratching.
He scratched.
A large amount of yellow-green pus gushed out from it.
Splashes everywhere on his skin.
The infection began to grow even faster!
As the infected area continued to spread.
In the crowd.
The aura coming from the negative plane became thicker and thicker!
"Stop scratching. Kill that Necromancer, and you'll be fine!"
Heiss made a prompt decision and roared.
The group endured the itch and charged forward.
Matthew continued to wave his staff.
This time.
He didn't even need to chant!
..
[Undead Summoning Spell: Contract Item!]
..
[Your ability Instant Summon is in effect!]
..
[Your ability 'Fixed Drop' is in effect!」
..
On the hill.
A large green circle of light appeared in the area where the group was about to rush up.
"Quickly dodge!"
Before Heiss could finish.
A tall figure descended from the sky!
Bang!
One of the followers couldn't dodge in time.
He was smashed into meat paste!
The people beside him were also affected by the shock wave and rolled down the hill.
Heiss looked over furiously.
The two-meter-tall figure was looking around in a daze.
Her bones were white and flawless.
But the most eye-catching thing was the plate in her hand.
"Matthew? Do you want to have dinner? Just nice, I just heated up the fried mushroom noodles again..."
Peggy looked at Matthew happily.
"No, throw away the fried noodles, Peggy. I want you to fight for me."
Matthew said.
Peggy's mood suddenly became serious.
She turned to face the arsonist.
Then, she said to Matthew,
"In that case, please buff me!"
