Chapter 1675: 456 Major Tear and Legendary Sniper_7

He kept retreating, chanting an incantation as he did so, and under Alicia’s fearful gaze, a tentacle glowing with a greyish light and covered in suction cups emerged on his body!

It was one of the necromancer’s signature spells–

“Astrid’s Claw”!

“Be careful!”

Even though Alicia had realized by now that this young man who had temporarily joined her mercenary group was no ordinary human, she couldn’t help but worryingly remind him.

However, faced with the formidable Astrid’s Claw.

A taunting smile appeared on the young man’s face:

“You choose this kind of thing to impersonate me?”

“Isn’t that a bit too cheap?”

“Astrid’s Claw… is not meant to be used like this!”

The next second.

He slightly lifted his left hand, and suddenly, several thicker tentacles surged out from his shoulder.

Snap!

Just once.

Matthew’s Death’s Touch easily crushed the opponent’s Astrid’s Claw!

“Ah, kill them!”

The spellcaster shouted frantically.

At that moment.

All undead swarmed towards them at the command.

Matthew slightly opened his mouth, and a sharp piercing scream burst from his chest–

“Necromancy: Bone Shattering Lament”!

Auroras of sound waves smashed into the surroundings.

After the waves had passed.

Alicia, still unsettled, covered her ears, only to see that the previously tide-like undead had now collapsed into a pile of white bones and corpses!

The young man and that impostor tree-planting mage were both gone.

Only she and Lilac were left looking at each other.

A few seconds later.

The Black Forest to their side also slowly disappeared, leaving only a clear path leading north.

“In the end, what happened?”

Lilac murmured.

Alicia was just as confused inside.

Everything that had just happened had occurred so quickly that she could only passively endure the information flooding her mind.

So much so that she was hardly able to make much of a judgement.

“We… should be safe for now.”

Looking at the now completely darkened sky.

Alicia let out a long sigh.

But the next second.

She suddenly said somewhat sadly:

“But where can we go next?”

After such an event.

There was definitely no going back to the mercenary group, and Sword Winter City probably had no place for them–

To others.

The two of them being alive was far worse than being dead.

Moreover…

This also involved the suspected issue of someone impersonating a tree-planting mage for misconduct.

“Tree-planting mage…”

“He is the real tree-planting mage!”

Alicia murmured as if she had discovered a new continent!

Confusion filled Lilac’s eyes:

“What do you mean?”

Alicia pursed her lips.

She remembered some rumors.

Then she skillfully lit a makeshift torch, illuminating the nearby area.

A few seconds later.

She indeed found three “defensive scrolls” on the ground, just like the rumors had described, and a bag containing some bread and water.

The next second.

She no longer looked north, but instead turned one hundred eighty degrees, staring down a dark road.

“I am going south.”

Alicia suddenly said with determination.

In the darkness.

Lilac approached:

“I’ll go with you.”

“As long as you don’t mind my company.”

Still as fruity as ever!

Alicia snortingly hummed.

But the next second.

She tightly hugged Lilac’s soft shoulder:

“Then.”

“From now on, we are truly companions.”

Lilac dodged a bit but softly murmured “Hmm!”

The night was deep as water.

All past unpleasantness had already dissipated under the shadow of a greater crisis.

Two lonely figures clung to each other as they headed south.

The torch crackled slightly in the wind.

Stretching the shadows on the mountain path longer and longer.

…

“So, who made you impersonate me?”

Within the Demiplane.

Inside the Soul Cage.

Matthew interrogated the impostor’s soul coldly.

For nearly three months now,

News of “tree-planting mages committing crimes” surfaced repeatedly across Aindor.

At first, he did not take it seriously,

Assuming it was just someone impersonating.

But as the impersonator’s actions became more heinous, Matthew gradually realized the severity.

He attempted to locate the impostor using prophecy spells,

But they cunningly evaded his attempts.

Having no other choice,

he decided to disguise himself and quietly search in the area where the impersonator was active–

Matthew had already traveled back and forth several times on the road between Sword Winter City and King City.

This time, he finally caught the guy!

“I’ll talk, I’ll talk…”

“Don’t kill me!”

This person was a necromancer, likely aware of the tricks of the trade, not appearing very tough.

But just as he was about to speak,

Suddenly,

A strange smile spread across his face:

“Hehehe…”

“Matthew, you didn’t really think he had a chance to speak, did you?”

“Don’t misunderstand, I just wanted to play a game with you.”

“I know you are about to become legendary, but on the path to becoming legendary, it’s inevitable to be slandered, guess what, how will I squander your reputation next?”

“I will make you fall into disgrace.”

“If you can, come catch me, hehehe…”

In the midst of the strange laughter,

The soul of that necromancer seemed to evaporate from the Earth, instantly turning into a high-temperature gas!

Hiss!

Watching as the hard-won clue vanished into thin air,

A look of solemnity flashed across Matthew’s face.

On the data bar,

…

“Warning: You sense someone trying to target your Legendary Path.

You have obtained the clues “Vaporized Soul” and “Legendary Sniper”!

Legendary Sniper: In Aindor, there is a special profession, their levels lies between legendary and mortal, taking pleasure in preventing others from becoming legendary.

Their Legendary Path is to hinder others from becoming legendary!”

…

“Aindor has such a profession?”

A look of surprise appeared on Matthew’s face.

“I need to find a way to inquire about this.”

“Unfortunately, the channels with the Alliance are almost severed since that great rift…”

Thinking of this,

Matthew sighed softly.

The disaster half a year ago changed the fate of many.

He suddenly went from being a highly sought-after Alliance spell caster to being an outsider implicitly shunned by the Seven Saint Alliance.

Even Ronan and Qin Wuyue, upon returning from the historical world, did not accept Matthew’s request for a visit.

He was not able to enter Crucible House.

Although nominally still a spellcaster of the Alliance, he was in fact already excluded.

In such circumstances,

Matthew’s situation became somewhat delicate.

Fortunately, the headquarters in Rolling Stone City was still stable, one of the few things that brought him some solace.

“In a few days, I can go to the new world to see the forest; maybe I’ll have the chance to revive the old man…”

“But this new world matter probably still needs to be kept secret, given the Alliance’s aggressive stance towards gods; if exposed, it may lead to more than just being coldly treated.”

Amidst his thoughts,

Matthew returned to the cemetery from the Demiplane,

Conducting some routine work.

He was then planning to go to Rolling Stone City to discuss some internal affairs with the newly enthroned King Little Patton.

But just then,

The crystal ball in his arms, which had been inactive for a full half-year, suddenly lit up.

“Now, come to Starry Sky Cabin at Crucible House.”

“You have three minutes.”

In the crystal ball,

Isabelle’s indifferent face appeared after a long absence.

Matthew’s heartbeat suddenly accelerated.

He almost reflexively rushed to the location Isabelle had designated at the fastest speed possible.

In the cabin,

There was still the familiar starry sky background and the stunning woman with white hair and grey eyes.

Matthew stood there a bit nervously,

Unsure what it meant for Isabelle to seek him out after being cold for half a year.

The next second,

Isabelle’s cool voice sounded in his ear:

“Not bad.”

“At least you don’t harbor any resentments because of that blast half a year ago.”

Matthew was taken aback.

The blast half a year ago?

Was it referring to the Singularity Cannon directed at the Divine Kingdom?

Isabelle looked at him with a semi-amused expression:

“What?”

“You didn’t think that without my permission or request, those space undead would dare to cause trouble at that critical moment, did you?”

…
