This Necromancer Just Wants to Plant Trees

Chapter 2040: 592 A dozen seconds are still too long!



Pieces of fencing were automatically forming.

Negative energy crystal clusters, precious beyond measure in the eyes of the necromancer, were everywhere!

...

"Master of the Grave (Legendary Ability/Source Domain: Grave, Negative Energy, Death, Erosion)

Effect: 1. You can generate a small or medium-sized cemetery in any space.

2. Within the cemetery, your undead units will recover their status at three times the normal speed.

And you yourself will enjoy three to five times the recovery speed (depending on the specific size of the cemetery).

3. Within the cemetery, your ability 'Burial' will receive a partial power strengthening."

...

"No—!"

Watching the ever-forming cemetery.

A despairing Demmo tried to make a last-ditch effort using his similar domain.

But when Matthew unleashed a series of overwhelmingly powerful domains centered on negative energy and graves.

His eyes, which were wide open, suddenly stopped moving.

The last sound from the planet's surface lost its source.

Matthew's hands pressed down in the void.

The only thing left in his ears was the strange sound of flesh pressing against soil.

In less than ten seconds.

Demmo and Dammon, two legendary adversaries, watched helplessly as they were buried alive in Matthew's hastily constructed cemetery!

Poof, poof!

Two soft sounds followed in quick succession.

Two gravestones inscribed with the names of the deceased fell down one after another.

Announcing the complete death of Dammon and Demmo!

...

"Hint: You used the legendary ability 'Burial' to successfully bury 'Dammon' and 'Demmo Ritz'.

You acquired a series of domains, abilities, and spells from the two buried individuals—

1. Domains (Shadows, Assassin, Avenger/Grave, Brutality, Boneyard)

2. Abilities (Shadow Purgatory, Invisibility Instinct, Fatal Blow/Soul Chains, Evil Curse, Giant Flesh Mass)

3. Spells (Mage's Hand of Anti-Stealth, Assassin Meditation Skill, Legendary Door-Opening Incantation/Baiyan City Domain Field Spell Collection, Dark Eye, Bone Regeneration Technique)"

...

"This is the power of Burial..."

"A bit like a hyper-upgraded version of 'Gift of Nature'..."

Matthew felt the surge of external energy entering his body.

No need for intentional guidance.

Under the influence of three major domains: Equilibrium, Tauren, Eternity.

Soon these foreign abilities integrated with Matthew himself, leaving no negative reactions or latent risks.

"Burial" could be said to be one of Matthew's core abilities acquired after ascending to legend.

As long as the adversary is within visible range.

As long as Matthew's own hands or Pale Hand—even Mage's Hand can touch them, they are unlikely to escape the grasp of burial!

From the experience of Dammon and Demmo, it is not difficult to see how hard it is to escape Matthew's burial.

And once caught.

Almost all of the adversary's abilities and spells will be sealed.

Can only helplessly watch themselves be buried alive.

Matthew felt that this scene was somewhat cruel.

So he plans to improve upon this ability in the future.

To correctly shorten the duration of 'Burial'!

"It would be best if it could be finished in two or three seconds."

"Ten seconds is still too long!"

Matthew thought to himself.

And once the adversary is successfully buried, Matthew will directly plunder their abilities, spells, and domains.

This aspect seems to be random.

But Matthew was quite satisfied with what Dammon and Demmo surrendered.

Skipping over the domains.

"Shadow Purgatory" and "Fatal Blow" were Dammon's hidden skills, the former can be used for control, the latter in conjunction with Matthew's daily refreshed near-death instances, could even be used for surprise attacks.

"Invisibility Instinct" endowed Matthew with the ability to become invisible at any time and anywhere.

The advantage lies in not consuming mana, and its stealth is very strong, since it was ripped from a legendary assassin.

As for what was obtained from Demmo, "Soul Chains" and "Evil Curse", Matthew didn't think much of it.

The former is a remote control ability for other units;

The latter is a potent curse.

But Matthew obviously does not lack these abilities.

Only "Giant Flesh Mass" was somewhat decent, an aura ability that, when activated, greatly boosts the Health Points of necromancers under Matthew's command.

Moreover, the more necromancers within the aura range, the higher the Health Points boost, a small yet valuable strategic ability.

As for the spell level—

"Mage's Hand of Anti-Stealth" is a reconnaissance spell used by legendary assassins to counter peers, with notable anti-stealth effects;

"Assassin Meditation Skill" can be used to enhance Focus, but the increase is very small, far inferior to necromancer's meditation;

"Legendary Door-Opening Incantation" seems redundant, being legendary, why should any door still be seriously opened?

Demmo's Baiyan City series spells are presumably used for managing the Baiyan City domain field;

"Dark Eye" can significantly trigger life decay, accelerate the pace of downfall;

"Bone Regeneration Technique" is used for mass production of cheap skeleton soldiers.

"Overall quality is quite average, not as good as the abilities I gained through ascension..."

In the midst of thought.

The graves of the two legendary adversaries suddenly emitted movements again.

Several light balls of various sizes emerged from the soil.

Matthew moved closer for inspection.

Those light balls turned out to be the items and tools the two carried with them.

After a brief tally, Matthew beamed with joy.

Demmo, being the city lord of Baiyan City, naturally had an incredibly abundant fortune.

Matthew discovered a white Ember Blood Crystal among Demmo's leftover spoils.
