A NECROMANCER WHO JUST WANTS TO PLANT TREES
Chapter 1757: 478 Undead Starburst and Law of Death_4Chapter 1757: 478 Undead Starburst and Law of Death_4
"Don't you just want to get out of the Star Realm Syndrome quickly?"
Matthew smiled:
"For me, this isn't really a symptom, just a bit of interesting emotion."
"After all, every new experience is necessary to go through, even the negative ones, and I wouldn't want to miss them."
A gloomy expression floated across the screen of Little Claymore.
But she didn't say much.
She just lay quietly by Matthew's side in standby mode.
Matthew quietly reflected on the desolation and insignificance of his emotions.
Actually, after the Dusk Disaster,
Matthew should not have developed Star Realm Syndrome, let alone this series of negative emotions.
He thought about it.
The reason was probably the "Child's Heart" bestowed by the Goddess of Magic.
Though that heart had already petrified and shattered,
its effect seemed to have become permanent in Matthew.
He found himself becoming much more sensitive to emotions, and any emotion could remain fresh after a certain time—
What was even more miraculous was
that this freshness didn't influence Matthew's thinking and judgment.
It was as if his feelings and logic had already separated from each other.
Feelings were feelings.
Logic was logic.
They did not affect each other and operated independently.
This allowed him to maintain his precious innocence while also keeping his shrewd judgment.
"No wonder the Goddess of Magic could rely on it to resist the intrusion of Chaotic Ether..."
Matthew was increasingly appreciating the marvels of the Child's Heart.
A few minutes later,
Matthew had completely freed himself from the Star Realm Syndrome.
He asked Little Claymore,
"When do we initiate the Tracking Technique?"
Little Claymore replied:
"At present, we are tracking along the Ether traces left by the God of Truth."
"Before encountering undercurrents of the astral plane or large-scale dark devouring areas, there's no need to use the Mechanical Tracking Spell."
Matthew nodded:
"Then, how long will it take before we encounter the dark devouring areas?"
Little Claymore proactively unraveled a bundle of plugs from beneath her, inserting two of them into the control panel of the Octopus Boat.
After a dozen seconds,
she responded:
"Two hours."
"The Octopus Boat's flying speed is not fast, but its advantage lies in its stealth. As we delve alone into the astral world, safety is most important, don't you agree?"
Matthew had no objections.
Compared with the golem lifeforms of Cyberdragon,
his experience in astral travel was quite shallow.
It's better to leave professional matters to the professionals.
But as he lay in his chair for a while, he started to feel bored—
This was also a common state during astral travel.
While there are many dangers, most of the journey through the worlds is long and boring.
Matthew spaced out for a bit.
Then, he began to chat idly with the golems.
However, after failing twice to entice Matthew to increase her humor parameter, Little Claymore went off to sulk on the other side of the cabin.
As for the other two golems, their intelligence levels were a bit low, so Matthew did not have much to talk about with them.
So, he simply took out a few spellbooks from his pack and began to study spells.
Matthew's spellbook learning inside the Octopus Boat was originally just a casual attempt, but the results were amazingly good.
In less than two hours,
he had actually learned two legendary spells in one go!
This also surprised Matthew himself.
He was endowed with "Extraordinary Wisdom" and his speed of learning spells was ten times the normal rate, but these were legendary spells!
In theory,
Matthew had a very high level of practice in the Legendary Path and a deep exploration into the domain of necromancy; the possibility of successfully learning legendary spells ahead of time did exist.
This was also one of the premises for his attempt.
But the success had come too smoothly, too easily, right!?
"Could it be related to the environment of the astral world?"
"Or is it related to the Ether Storm I just experienced?"
Matthew hadn't quite figured out the connection.
But that didn't stop him from mastering two extremely powerful necromancy spells in advance!
"Necromancer Starburst: You can choose a meteorite no more than 1 kilometer in diameter in the astral world and slowly infuse it with negative energy.
When the meteorite is filled to a certain level with negative energy,
it becomes your weapon.
You can control the meteorite to strike a specific target from an ultra-long distance (cannot cross planes/maximum range of 3000 kilometers).
After the meteorite hits the target, it not only causes a huge explosion but also spreads a large amount of negative energy and clouds of death, thus creating a domain only for the undying!"
"Law of Death: You can subject one or multiple targets to at least 12 rounds of instant death checks in the following two ways—
1. Verbally invoke any name, title, or nickname that can represent the target.
2. Look at any target within your field of view.
Note 1: Law of Death possesses powerful penetration against Legendary Resistance and at least twice the success rate of ordinary instant death spells;
Note 2: The interval between each round of checks is no more than 30 seconds.
Note 3: Every time you use Law of Death to kill a living being, you have a chance to gain a slight increase in the success rate of an instant death check."
Necromancer Starburst needs no further explanation.
It's a spell with devastating power and can artificially create a territory for the undead.
And Law of Death is the hallmark of a necromancer after advancing to the Legendary Path.
It is an advanced form in the legendary realm based on spells like Pale Hand, Death's Touch, Finger of Death—how could its lethality not be more than double the originals?
This thing is at least on par with the Yeager Blade's "Soul Siphon."
With it,
Matthew could finally be considered to have the appearance of a legendary necromancer!
"It seems learning legendary spells from the domain of necromancy is no longer a difficult task for me."
"It's just a pity that there are not many spells in this domain, and even fewer are useful..."
"I just don't know if it's possible to learn legendary spells from other domains in advance?"
As Matthew pondered this,
the little mine that had been lying at the other end of the cabin suddenly dragged its wires, sporting an excited expression, and rushed over to Matthew.
Matthew realized something:
"Have we arrived at the Dark Eater area?"
The little mine replied:
"No."
"But it seems I've found Lord Butterfly's whereabouts!"
"The Octopus Boat just intercepted a spiritual communication from a nearby starship!"
Matthew raised an eyebrow:
"You guys can intercept spiritual communication too?"
The little mine showed a proud expression:
"Of course!"
"The Cyberdragon is omnipotent!"
The next second,
a deep male voice played from the console:
"All alchemists, heed my call!"
"The mechanical butterfly carrying the Ether Core has arrived in the vicinity of the target area!"
"Please cooperate fully with our allies to complete the capture of the Ether Core in the target area..."
The following was a repeat broadcast of the "target area" coordinates.
Matthew's spirit soared:
"Can you confirm which region of the astral world this set of coordinates points to?"
The little mine, like an octopus, clung to the control console and frantically operated it, with sparks flying from the plug connections.
"I've found it!"
The little mine shouted.
Matthew leaned over for a look.
A three-dimensional star map emerged on the control console's screen.
It was marked with various points of light.
Each one represented an astral faction.
One yellow point, in particular, was especially bright.
Matthew narrowed his eyes.
Beside the bright yellow point, there was a conspicuously marked word—
...
"Storluk Planet"
