All the Necromancer Wants is to Plant Trees

...

Entrance of the mine.

Kuna looked at Edson's head being stepped on by Matthew in disbelief.

She knew that there was a strange necromancer living in this oak forest, who seemed to have the ability to summon a bone dragon, but she never expected Edson to be defeated so quickly.

He was the Southern High Priest of the Cataclysmic Cult, a genuine fourth-order warlock, the organizer of the three major organizations' expedition, and the strongest among them!

This scene also shocked the other members.

Their wavering fighting spirit instantly vanished.

Many of them instinctively retreated, trying to hide behind the others, only to realize that everyone had already retreated, leaving them with nowhere to go.

After Edson's head fell to the ground.

The battlefield in front became clear in an instant.

The fearless gnolls who were ready to die were now running towards the entrance of the cave in panic.

However, their escape route was blocked by Eli.

The saber-toothed tiger showed its might as it mercilessly attacked the fleeing gnolls.

With a single swipe, it quickly eliminated all of them.

The only one who escaped was the Su Suwa Hellhound.

The demon's vitality was surprisingly strong.

Even with Peggy cracking its skull and a small amount of brain matter leaking out, it still managed to stumble away.

Matthew witnessed this scene.

His brows furrowed.

"The Su Suwa Hellhound is an otherworldly creature. It shouldn't be able to maintain its existence in the main material world after the gnolls die... Wait, there's no kill prompt!?"

Almost at the same time.

He suddenly felt a violent tremor beneath his feet.

Matthew reacted quickly.

He lifted his foot and delivered a powerful kick as if it were a muscle memory.

Boom!

Edson's head exploded in mid-air, turning into a strange mist of blood.

Matthew saw it clearly.

Within that mist of blood, there were faces, insects, fragments of brain grooves, and clusters of extremely sinister runes!

At the same time.

The emblem of the Moonlight Goddess on his chest also began to tremble violently.

"Retreat!"

Matthew shouted.

With the protection of the skeletons, they quickly moved away from the blood mist and the headless corpse.

The blood mist rushed towards the gnoll's body like an octopus.

In the next moment.

A solemn and dignified voice came from the blood mist.

The person enunciated each word clearly and rigidly.

As if it resounded in the hearts of everyone present:

"Grant you an undying body, from the night's arrival, life will continue, death will never come!"

As the voice fell.

The headless body of the gnoll slowly stood up from the ground.

Unconsciously.

A completely intact head grew back on its smooth neck.

Everyone was stunned by this eerie scene.

Even for members of evil organizations, this resurrection scene was extremely rare!

"Hehehe, I am immortal."

Edson moved his neck unnaturally from side to side, seemingly adapting to his new head.

His eyes were evil and unscrupulous, firmly locked onto Matthew, as if he wanted to devour him alive.

The blood mist still lingered.

It enveloped the gnoll like a protective halo.

Matthew sensed a strong aura from the blood mist.

At this moment.

A message composed of moonlight suddenly appeared on the trembling emblem.

...

"The master worshipped by the gnoll Edson is the demon Terrell from the ancient land, and Terrell is actually the incarnation of the Midnight God. The blessing of the Midnight God is only effective at midnight, and by dawn, his undying blessing will be broken.

- Asiya Moonlight"

...

The Midnight God?

Does this matter have something to do with the Tianlun Palace?

Matthew didn't doubt the authenticity of this information.

After all, it was consistent with the Moonlight Goddess's repeated attempts to please him. Even if she had ulterior motives, it would be revealed later.

But whether it was the benevolent Asiya or the Midnight God controlling the warlock, it seemed that the exiled gods were starting to stir for some reason.

This was not good news for this stagnant world.

This thought flashed through Matthew's mind.

He suddenly drew a hand crossbow and aimed it at Edson in the blood mist.

"Come on, you can't kill me!"

Edson shouted madly.

Matthew judged that he was still in a short period of stiffness after resurrection, so he no longer hesitated. The bolt shot out from the pile of skeleton soldiers and hit Edson's chest directly!

The arrowhead pierced the gnoll's chest, but he seemed to have no sense of pain. He pulled it out as if it were nothing, and in front of Matthew, he twisted the arrow into two pieces.

However, Matthew didn't stop.

He swiftly changed to another well-strung hand crossbow from his Mysterious Spell Satchel and aimed it at Edson again.

Swoosh!

Another arrow.

Edson glared angrily:

"You're wasting your effort!"

Just as he pulled out the second arrow from his chest, the third arrow flew towards him. However, this time Matthew missed, and the arrowhead pierced the gnoll's knee.

Three consecutive arrows made Edson furious.

The blood mist slowly moved towards Matthew.

But at this moment, Matthew, who had emptied his three hand crossbows, cunningly retreated towards the oak forest.

He joined Eli.

With the Silver Moon Zombie and the skeleton soldiers as protection, they tactically retreated.

Only Sodie was ordered by Matthew to harass the warlock in the blood mist.

Sodie, who received the order, limped towards Edson.

His dance steps were sometimes stiff and sometimes smooth.

Everyone saw the skull, which was always twisting its hips, circling around the blood mist in a probing manner.

He would occasionally strike.

The short knife easily tore open the gnoll's skin, leaving shallow marks on his body.

But the effect was limited to this.

The blood mist seemed to grant Edson an invincible vitality.No matter how Sodie added wounds to him, he could always recover quickly, and his aura became stronger.

"This Gnoll's melee ability is too strong," Eli said with fear.

"Perhaps only a shield bearer of the same level can withstand his hammer, ordinary warriors can't," Matthew nodded lightly.

Peggy and Eli were both skilled melee fighters at the third level, but they were no match for Edsen. He was truly oppressive on the front lines.

Matthew realized this and chose to lure the enemy deeper, coordinating with Sodie's successful ambush.

Unfortunately, things didn't go as planned. Who would have known that a Warlock would have the protection of a divine god? Although the Midnight God couldn't directly interfere with the battlefield, the blessings he gave through the amulet were still troublesome enough.

"Eli, I need you to cooperate with my Skeleton Assassins and continue to pressure him. I will provide you with support from behind," Matthew stated his plan.

Eli didn't refuse, but he was puzzled. "He is now immortal. Are your crossbow arrows and our harassment effective?"

"I'm not trying to kill him now, just trying to weaken him as much as possible," Matthew calmly said. "Haven't you noticed that his movements have become much slower?"

Eli suddenly realized, "You poisoned him?"

Matthew nodded, "It seems that his immortality is not invincible. The effects of the powerful Exhaustion Ray and Negative Armor Spell were purified, but the poison on the crossbow arrows still slows him down. This alone is not enough to kill him. We are facing a prolonged battle."

"I understand. You need me to squeeze out his other abilities," Eli said.

Matthew's eyes also flashed with fear. "Yes, while the others are still hesitating, try to pressure him as much as possible. I suspect that besides resurrection, he still has powerful moves hidden. So, be careful."

Edsen was the strongest enemy Matthew had faced since his transmigration. Since it was an unexpected battle for both sides, the previous ambush was the best decision Matthew made through improvisation.

Now, Matthew didn't have many cards in his hand. The Bone Dragon, his trump card, couldn't be played first for two reasons:

First, playing the trump card would mean he had to be prepared to escape, which was not necessary at the moment.

Second, Matthew's trump card was actually an exposed card.

The Cataclysmic Cult knew about the Bone Dragon's existence, but they still dared to come and cause trouble, which meant they probably had means to counter the Bone Dragon.

Playing an exposed card in this situation would be equivalent to suicide.

Matthew had to rely on other methods to delay and squeeze Edsen's abilities!

At this moment, his gaze was locked onto the Gnoll Warlock.

His attention was unprecedentedly focused, not willing to miss any details.

Eli understood Matthew's tactics. He transformed from a saber-toothed tiger into a more agile jungle lynx, cooperating with Sodie to harass Edsen.

Injured Peggy was responsible for support from a distance.

And Matthew maintained a steady pace, constantly retreating.

In the blood mist, Edsen was being attacked from both sides.

Although his recovery ability was astonishing, he was annoyed by the harassment.

His Nail Hammer had great killing power, but he couldn't hit Sodie and Eli. The former had strange footsteps, clearly a skeleton, but moved as smoothly as a worm!

The latter transformed into a lynx, greatly increasing his agility. Moreover, he had suffered from the Nail Hammer before and had no intention of fighting, not giving Edsen any chance.

The group fought and retreated.

Gradually approaching the edge of the oak forest.

Finally, Edsen realized that his movements had become too slow.

He used a Purification Spell to temporarily suppress the poison.

The blood mist dissipated bit by bit.

He seemed to have completely freed himself from the stiffness of resurrection.

Suddenly.

He rushed forward with a quick step, almost injuring Eli by surprise, but Sodie, under Matthew's command, pounced on Edsen from behind like a ghost!

Firefly and Moonlight were about to repeat their previous tactics.

But this time, Edsen narrowly avoided it. The pair of short knives only tore open the Gnoll's scalp, not beheading him again.

Failing to succeed, Sodie quickly blended into the shadows.

Edsen was left red-faced by this fly-like tactic.

He couldn't bear it any longer.

In Matthew's fiery gaze.

The Gnoll tore off a palm-sized piece of fur from his chest!

On the back of the fur, there were densely twisted characters.

Holding the fur, Edsen glared angrily in the direction where Sodie disappeared and shouted, "You don't belong here!"

As he spoke, the fur suddenly ignited out of thin air.

Sodie's figure suddenly appeared.

His movements were initially stiff, but then a dark gray negative energy halo appeared under his feet.

"You don't belong here!" Edsen roared again.

The halo completely engulfed Sodie.

...

"Prompt: Warlock Edsen has used the 'Exile Document' on your summoned creature, Sodie, and Sodie has been temporarily exiled!

Sodie is currently in the Negative Energy Plane, and there are 4 hours left until the next summoning of Sodie...

Exile Document (Enhanced by Pact): A banishment spell written in the blood of the great demon Terrell, it can temporarily banish any non-legendary creature from the main material plane, the duration depends on the level of the banished creature and the will of the summoner."

...

Sodie was exiled.

Edsen regained his new life completely, his movements became swift, and the pressure on Eli increased significantly.

Edsen forced Eli back with a powerful swing of his hammer.

Then, disregarding everything, he rushed towards Matthew.

However, Matthew's eyes flickered with indescribable excitement.

"So, the Exile Document is your trump card against the Bone Dragon?" he said, not rushing to take action.

Instead, he ordered the Skeleton Soldier and Zombie to spread out.He dashed swiftly towards the oak forest.

Inside the forest.

The sound of galloping hooves had already begun to echo.

A smile spread across Matthew's face as he ran.

He knew.

He was not fighting alone.
