A Necromancer Who Just Wants to Plant Trees

Chapter 1937: 548 Flesh Curse_2

Bu Ye was leading his troops in invading purgatory.

Bu Ye had reached the first gate outside the Tears of Barthor.

Bu Ye destroyed a large portion of the walls and single-handedly broke through to the vicinity of the second gate of the Tears of Barthor!

Bu Ye inflicted huge losses on the Tears of Barthor with his troops. Meanwhile, more Abyssal Demons were pouring into the Holy City of the Tears of Barthor…

…

“I’m going!”

This really startled Matthew.

This Brother Bu Ye was genuinely serious!

It made sense for demons to eagerly fight devils, but without a word, Bu Ye straight up used a divine artefact and even opened the portal outside Glasia’s main city!

That firepower was absolutely impressive.

Not to mention a mere Desecration Mage like Anderson.

If circumstances allowed, Glasia herself would surely be in a frantic rush to get back!

This was her main base after all.

Bu Ye himself was also one of the Abyssal lords who had been making a name for himself recently.

Getting your den destroyed by your Old Enemy was not a laughing matter!

“Now that Brother Bu Ye has gone this far, it would be a bit unkind to haggle over the Demon Treasure Orb.”

Matthew frowned inwardly.

He’d have to make it up to the Snow Girl Queen later…

“There was a sudden disappearance of a personal maid by the Demoness of Desire’s side, replaced by another maid who looks the same as the previous one, but I can confirm a change in person.”

Just then,

Richard suddenly sent a message.

Quickly,

Sener and Saphroloa relayed similar information.

Matthew understood.

That maid was most likely Anderson in disguise; by now, he must have hurried back to save the situation.

Matthew shared this information with everyone.

Then, through the Flame Book, he alerted Bu Ye.

However, the Abyssal lord was probably beyond reach, his rage blinding him to replying to Matthew’s message.

But this had little impact on the overall situation.

Bu Ye dared to attack the Tears of Barthor mainly because Matthew could ensure that Glasia was not in the Holy City.

Even if Anderson managed to return in time to inflict some damage to the demon army,

he definitely couldn’t turn the tide like Glasia could.

Bu Ye was indeed bold yet meticulous.

This might be the best opportunity for the Abyssal Faction to attack Barthor’s purgatory!

Because Matthew was definitely not going to let Glasia leave here easily.

From the moment she entered the plane of tears,

this was destiny.

The next moment,

Matthew lightly patted the Scarlet Nightmare’s neck, and understanding the gesture, it boldly trotted towards the demon ranks.

He had made a simple Camouflage for himself.

Then he slowly approached the direction of the Demoness of Desire.

To avoid detection by the Summoning Banner,

Matthew deliberately kept a certain distance.

The escalating chaos on the battlefield provided him with the best cover.

Even the initially orderly demon army,

after several head-on encounters, had become somewhat disordered.

The presence of the Scarlet Nightmare scared away some low-level demons.

The mid- to high-level demons were busy reining in their own soldiers, and for a time, Matthew seemed invisible, leisurely circling around the Purgatory Giant Beast.

At the front of the battlefield.

With the help of the Air Element, the Devil Vanguards successfully breached the outer defenses of the Shadow Army.

With most of the shadow nodes already dismantled,

The demons did not have to worry about enemies from behind.

Thus, their frontal assault was even smoother.

The Shadow Camp was retreating step by step.

At the same time,

Matthew noticed that the Shadow Demon assassins who had previously approached the walls also resolutely took action.

Utilizing the chaos, they merged into the shadows of the walls.

At that moment,

the likeness in characteristics and appearance between the Shadow Demon assassins and the shadow creatures became their best cover.

Before long,

they had stealthily reached beneath the spellcasters’ feet.

The two sides were now quite close.

The Shadow Demon assassins didn’t act immediately,

for the spellcasters had set up numerous Defensive Barriers, magic traps, and special alarms against hidden units around themselves.

The Shadow Demon assassins were waiting,

waiting for the perfect moment to assassinate.

“The devil side will probably launch a round of powerful long-range fire next.”

Matthew pondered calmly.

Only such an attack could force the shadow camp’s most substantial threat to act in response ― the spellcasters led by Erin.

Launching an attack in such a circumstance was undoubtedly the safest move.

Just…

Will they succeed?

“No, didn’t Erin already notice those two Shadow Demon assassin squads?”

Matthew, through “Spell Identification,” noticed that the wristguard Erin wore on his right hand was currently in a slightly bright state—

This was a warning sign.

Compared to its inconspicuous white light flashing.

Erin himself could undoubtedly receive a much stronger warning signal.

But he still looked indolent, his eyes slightly narrowed, and even inadvertently suppressed the warning spell on his wristguard.

“He’s not only pretending he didn’t see, but he hasn’t even told his comrades…”

Soon.

Matthew observed new information.

Compared to Erin’s lethargy.

The other spellcasters seemed to be a lot more serious.

But their gazes were mostly on the Devil Vanguards in front of them, or in confrontation with the Air Element Elders.

They were utterly unaware of the Shadow Demon assassins beneath their feet!

Matthew was confident in this deduction because some spellcasters’ positioning in relation to their power was basically suicidal!

“At this position, even if it’s intentional to reveal flaws, those four in front should surely die!”

Matthew analyzed calmly.

He was very aware of the Shadow Demon assassins’ strength and knew full well how fragile normal spellcasters were.

Unless these spellcasters had undergone special training and physical strengthening, they simply couldn’t survive the onslaught of the Shadow Demon assassins.

Just as this thought crossed his mind.

In the Air Element camp not too far away.

Suddenly, tornadoes spanning from heaven to earth rose.

From within the tornadoes came ancient and desolate chanting—those were the Air Element Elder’s spell chants!

“Group Spell: Howl of the Rend!”

For a moment.

Mournful and sorrowful wails came from the tornadoes.

They transformed into waves of invisible sonic attacks, targeting the spellcasters on the city wall.

And as the sonic waves moved forward.

They also stirred the wind, causing many miniature tornadoes to rapidly form on top of the city wall.

These tiny twisters could not only destroy a significant portion of magic traps but also somewhat obscured the spellcasters’ vision!

“Here it comes…”

Matthew precisely predicted the Shadow Demons’ actions.

At that moment.

All the lurking Shadow Demon assassins surged forward.

At least half of the Shadow Demons pounced towards the most leisurely Erin.

The remaining Shadow Demons targeted the other spellcasters in a sequential fashion.

Their movements were so swift.

Using the cover of the fierce wind and spells, the Shadow Demon assassins had reached their targets before the spellcasters could intercept the incoming spells.

Thud, thud, thud!

Without any flashy abilities, no bizarre moves.

What reaped the spellcasters’ lives.

Were nothing but simple, unadorned stabs and slashes!

Five seconds later.

Six continuous spellcasters fell, bleeding.

Their faces were filled with shock and pain, and they fell with eyes wide open in death.

On the other side.

The Shadow Demons’ ambush wasn’t as smooth.

Just as they charged towards Erin.

A taunting smile appeared on the Volcano Mage’s face; he seemed to be saying something softly, but Matthew couldn’t make out his lip movements.

The next second.

Erin’s body suddenly melted into the ground like a wax figure!

The Shadow Demons frantically looked around.

They saw the liquid that Erin had melted into spread out at an unbelievable speed, covering the ground beneath all the Shadow Demons’ feet in the blink of an eye!

Some quick-witted Shadow Demons sought to evade the onslaught.

However, they found, with dread, that their abilities to escape or cast spells had all lost their effectiveness.

In an instant.

All the liquid as if re-congealed into wax, locking all the shapeshifting Shadow Demons in place.

Then.

The half-wax, half-liquid substance crept up their ankles.

In the blink of an eye, it had reached their knees.

Meanwhile.

Matthew saw an abundance of worms climbing up the Shadow Demons’ bodies along those strange substances!

His forehead throbbed with veins.

A slight feeling of disgust welled up within him.

…

“Spell Identification: You observed the Volcano Mage Erin cast ‘Flesh Curse’ and ‘Worm Feast’…”
