Chapter 417: First Victory! Eisner's Plan!

...

"Broken Moon"!

Matthew swung the shovel skillfully, and the cold light rose and fell, leaving Osidero no time to react, and the sharp weapon had already cut along his neck!

Puff!

The shovel cut open Osidero's chest like cutting mud, and then crushed his heart with great precision!

At that moment.

A large amount of blood spurted onto Matthew's body and face.

He could feel a violent and manic breath coming out of the Abyss Mage.

But it only lasted for a few seconds.

Those breaths disappeared-

Because Matthew had already swung the shovel to cut Osidero into pieces!

…

“Hint: You have successfully killed the legendary Abyss Mage Osidero, which has had the following far-reaching effects——

1. The morale of the Abyss Army has plummeted.

2. The Abyss Army’s Holy Weapon Forging Ceremony was destroyed by you, which may cause a backlash.

3. The Demon Lord Eisner’s hatred towards you +10!

Famous Battle: As a necromancer, you defeated the legendary Mage Osidero, the commander-in-chief of the Abyss Army, in a way that seems incredible to ordinary people.

You and “Blade of Wind and Glory” Ah Bing +3 points of legend (Abyss -> World)!

In this battle of fame, you have accumulated a total of 5 points of world legend!

You have gained a new ability "Spell Extreme Effect".

World legend points beyond three points will provide a stronger upper limit for your spell extreme effect and an additional charm bonus to yourself!

Minotaur Authority: You killed a unit with a domain, you can take advantage of the situation to invade his main domain. Please choose one of the following three domains as the target of invasion-

1. Abyss

2. Ether

3. Wisdom

You chose "Abyss" and successfully took it for yourself!

When the Abyss domain is open, you will get the following effects-

1. The damage caused by Abyss creatures to you is reduced by 35%.

2. When you walk in the Abyss, you will not be punished by the Abyss will because you come from other planes.

3. When you walk in the main material world or other planes, you may be targeted by the main material world or other planes.

4. All creatures within the scope of the domain are more likely to become irritable, including yourself.

5. You will have stronger adaptability. In particular, within the Abyss domain, your resistance to acid, plague, and toxicity will increase significantly.

6. You can recruit a group of demons with a number not exceeding 2,000 and individual levels not exceeding level 16, and form your own Abyss army. They will obey your orders unconditionally.

7. You can transform into a regular demon without being discovered (customizable gender, height, size...)"

...

Matthew just glanced at the data bar.

Then he retracted his gaze.

It was not difficult for him to choose one of the three fields-

Both ether and wisdom are quite advanced fields. How much accomplishment can Osidero, a demon mage, have in this field?

It is better to choose one that the other party is familiar with.

The result is similar to what Matthew expected-

Osidero's exploration of the abyss field belongs to the level of a senior.

Matthew is equivalent to picking up a big bargain!

Let's not talk about anything else.

35% damage reduction is already very abnormal!

"Fortunately, Osidero couldn't open the field at the critical moment, otherwise it might take a while!"

Matthew glanced at the demon army that was rushing here at a rapid speed, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

Legendary wizards are also wizards.

As long as they are wizards.

If you take a spell invalidation barrier, your life will be in danger!

It's not that wizards have no self-protection ability besides spells.

It's because spells are usually used too smoothly.

At the critical moment, they will use spells as a reflex, and then in the silence of the spell-nullifying barrier, they will despair and find that they are doing useless work, and then the collapse of mentality and the annihilation of the body will happen at almost the same time.

In fact.

A well-trained legendary wizard will not be killed by Matthew in one fell swoop like Osedro.

For example, in the Seven Saints Alliance.

Most legendary wizards have plans to deal with the spell-nullifying barrier.

In addition to the opportunistic methods such as "magic ability", creating unaffected "divine spells", "quasi-spells", and "simulated divine spells".

The most common way to deal with it is to open the field!

As we all know.

No matter what field, big or small, deep or shallow.

At the moment the field is opened.

There will be an unavoidable resistance force.

This resistance force is often the key to the game between legendary wizards and legendary wanderers.

Even when the top legendary wizards are forbidden to use magic, they will calmly predict the trajectory of the wanderer's movements and escape through the domain.

Of course.

The top wanderers can even use their body movements to trick the legendary wizard into opening the domain.

Then use this opportunity to successfully kill the wizard in the domain!

In any case.

This kind of game is a back-and-forth.

And it is rare for someone to die so easily like Osedro.

The reason.

Or it is because Matthew fought at home and took a big advantage-

Osedro, like other demons, was punished by the will of the material plane.

His domain was suppressed.

It's not that it can't be opened.

It's just that the speed of opening is several seconds slower than usual!

This is also the reason why he didn't want to show up before.

The other party is already careful enough.

What a pity.

"I still found a flaw..."

While thinking.

A small silver-blue light suddenly flew up from Osedro's body.

The light spot was moving very fast.

It was about to flash a hundred meters away in the blink of an eye.

However, Matthew was reluctant to leave after killing the man, waiting for this moment——

"Ability: Soul Cage"!

Whoosh.

The light spot returned and was directly grasped by Matthew!

With it as the base point.

Between Matthew's demiplane and the material world, a void space appeared.

Osidero's soul was imprisoned in this space!

"No——!"

Osidero's soul let out a miserable wail.

However, in an instant, he cursed:

"You captured me, and you can't run away!"

Matthew heard it clearly.

He glanced at the demons who were approaching rapidly.

Then he activated the ability "Above the Dragon"!

Huh!

Silently.

The deterrent power that surpassed the dragon's might shocked the demons who came to rescue.

Everyone felt their legs go weak, some kneeled on the ground, and some even stepped back.

A few seconds later.

A dark figure quickly took shape beside Matthew.

It was Ah Bing who had just been exiled to the abyss!

Ordinary people naturally couldn't go back so quickly.

But as the Fenghua Blade with legendary resistance, Ah Bing is no longer the same as before.

Want to trap him in the abyss through the exile spell.

At least a legendary spell is needed!

The spell trap that Osidero just cast obviously can't achieve this power.

The next moment.

Under the watchful eyes of the demons.

Matthew waved to Ah Bing:

"Take a ride."

Dead Soul Fusion Spell!

The two instantly merged into one.

Then.

After the fusion, Matthew picked up Osidero's body and disappeared from the spot with a puff.

Shadow!

Shadow!

Shadow!

On the battlefield.

Matthew kept jumping between shadows, and soon, he returned to the cemetery!

At this time, many demons had already climbed to the bottom of the cemetery.

Ali was leading the elite undead to expel them.

Matthew got out of the body of the soldier.

Then he ran to the top floor holding Osidero's body without looking back.

Not long after.

Matthew carried the body into the small dark room in a hurry.

Outside the room.

Sif, whose expression had just improved, saw this familiar scene, and her expression became a little dazed.

In the room.

Matthew soaked Osidero's body in a jar filled with dark oil.

Then he made a simple seal.

After that.

He took out a handful of mind-catching stones as consumables for the soul cage!

...

"Hint: You have consumed a number of Mindstones. Please choose the specific operation to be performed on the imprisoned soul "Osidero"-

1. Steal experience

2. Steal life

3. Will abuse

4. Soul torture"

...

Matthew did not make a single choice.

Instead, he ticked all the options-

"I want them all!"

So.

In the soul cage constructed by negative energy.

The wailing of the former legendary wizard of the abyss continued.

Matthew went out and called the Banshee Queen Xin Fulan.

Asked her to help torture Osidero's soul.

He began to deal with the remaining things.

In order to assassinate Osidero, Matthew had already opened the cemetery to the top of the first echelon of the demon army.

And the ground clearance was only about 20 meters.

Although most demons cannot fly, their jumping ability is amazing.

Matthew killed Osedlu very quickly, but in just a short time, the number of demons that jumped to the bottom of the cemetery exceeded 3,000!

Only half of them were Brezu demons, and the remaining half were the great demon commanders of the three legions and their guards!

The negative energy barrier of the cemetery was shattered after only a short resistance.

Then they burned, killed, and smashed in the cemetery.

Fortunately, Ali had anticipated it and made a series of resistance measures. At present, the demons were effectively suppressed at the bottom and the second to last level, and they were not allowed to attack higher places.

"They are destroying the negative energy power furnace!"

Seeing Matthew coming out of the small dark room, Ali immediately floated over to report.

Matthew nodded:

"Increase altitude."

Ali reminded:

"The energy reserve of the power reactor is insufficient. After this upgrade, it may be difficult to maintain hovering. We can only find a place to land."

Matthew thought for a while:

"Return to the original position to land."

"Give me the whip."

"I will deal with these demons!"

Ali took the order to control the cemetery.

Not long after.

The cemetery slowly rose, and amid the curses of a large number of demons on the ground, the mountain began to move farther and farther away from them.

Many demons jumped up like crazy, trying to seize this last chance, but unfortunately only a few successfully landed.

Most of the demons attracted by the cemetery could only stand on the ground and stare blankly.

Above the cemetery.

Matthew held the cemetery weapon "Ursul's Scold" and walked down the steps step by step.

He is the master of the cemetery.

This cemetery weapon can only play the greatest effect in the hands of the master of the cemetery!

But Matthew was seen waving the long whip in his hand leisurely.

Every time he swung it, it seemed as if he had traveled through time and space and appeared directly beside the demons at the bottom!

Snap, snap, snap!

The long whip burning with the fire of death stretched 50 meters in one breath, tied up all the nearby demons around the waist, and then pulled it down with force!

"Ah...!"

There were screams in the air.

Those demons who stayed in place and were just staring at their companions falling from the top of their heads looked in amazement at their companions falling from above their heads -

Puff, puff, puff!

More than a dozen demons fell into the crowd, fell to the ground, and knocked down a large area.

A few seconds later.

Another dozen demons fell from the edge of the mountain.

Their situation was worse than the first demon, because the cemetery mountain was constantly rising in height!

That's it.

Every time Matthew swung the long whip, he could send away a large number of demons who had climbed into the cemetery.

The further back you go.

The higher the death rate of the demons thrown down.

Some smart demons noticed that something was wrong and chose to jump down.

Matthew did not stop them.

Soon.

The other demons followed suit.

Ten minutes later.

With the efforts of Matthew and other undead, the cemetery barrier was restored, and all the invading demons were either sent to the ground or sent to the undead transformation pool.

Cemetery.

Peace was restored!

"It's time to reverse the situation on the battlefield."

Matthew stood on the edge of the lowest level of the cemetery, overlooking the chaotic battlefield below-

A large number of Brezu demons were trapped in the trench belt, and the cannon fodder army led by Argus was retreating step by step.

If it weren't for Sif's hellfire blocking the cavalry demons' way forward, the front battlefield would have been beaten to pieces at this time!

As for the flank.

Li Rick led his troops to attack the west side of the Second Legion, which attracted a lot of firepower to the front battlefield.

Matthew observed that the Second Legion was mobilizing troops to concentrate on eliminating the skeleton swordsmen who cut in from the flank.

Li Ruike fought and retreated. It seemed fine at the moment, but if time dragged on, they would be in great danger when the regrouped cavalry demons came around from the Flowing Fire Sky Curtain.

And part of the Fourth Legion on the right wing also fought with the forces stationed in the forest.

The demons were attacking fiercely.

They rushed up frantically against the slingshots of the oak guards.

At present, some demons have entered the woods.

The centaurs could only fight and retreat - except for the forest guards, the Sanctuary of Life lacked units that could face the demon army head-on.

Fortunately, the forest itself was the best barrier.

While the demons were being targeted by the will of the material world, they dared not rashly enter the ritual site of the Sanctuary of Life.

So most demons were advancing along the edge of the woods.

They did not dare to go too deep.

But even so.

Many demons would kick the trees a few times before leaving when they passed by!

Matthew took in all these scenes.

The Fourth Legion wanted to cut off the connection between the forest and the front battlefield, and at the same time try to see if there was a possibility of going around the cemetery along this road.

They should not be crazy enough to attack the wall of Rolling Stone City directly.

The route of action of the Second Legion also showed similar strategic intentions.

Only the Third Legion in the center was blocked by the hellfire, and most of its energy was tied up by the cemetery and Xiao Fei, and now it seemed extremely chaotic.

"The actions of the Second and Fourth Legions are obviously still in accordance with Osedro's plan."

"They should not know about Osedro's death yet!"

"The Third Legion is in such a mess, and a few demons among them are the only ones who know about it!"

A smile appeared on the corner of Matthew's mouth.

Just at this time.

Matthew also heard Xiao Fei's cry for help in his heart:

"Master?"

"We agreed to fight together, why did you run away?"

"I'm still being beaten!"

Matthew looked down.

On the front battlefield, since they lost the main target, the cemetery, the demons of the Third Legion vented all their anger on the lone Xiao Fei.

The latter has now activated the spell of defense and attack.

But even so.

He looked beaten black and blue -

The demons have also learned their lesson.

Buckets of strange mucus were poured on Xiao Fei's body. Although they were not as corrosive as Eisner's brain, they also caused some damage to Philolius' metal armor.

From the situation.

Xiao Fei was indeed beaten hard.

"Prepare to fight back..."

Matthew said this in his heart.

Then he took Osedro's body out of the small dark room, and didn't care about the dark oil that was scattered all over the ground.

Matthew grabbed the body directly, opened the legendary flying technique, and quickly flew over the battlefield.

"Foolish demons, your commander Osidero has been killed by me."

"All invaders will face the same fate as him!"

"Don't think that death is the end. Your bodies and souls will be enslaved by me and you will be my slaves forever!"

Matthew said harsh words while whipping Osidero's body with Ursul's scolding.

At the same time.

He also asked the Banshee Queen to send some miserable scenes of Osidero's soul facing torture.

Matthew used magic to project these pictures on the heads of the demon army.

It immediately caused a large-scale uproar!

Several big demon commanders jumped out:

"He is lying!"

"The Sage of the Abyss cannot die in his hands!"

Matthew ignored these guys at all.

He carefully flew over the heads of the demon army and clearly displayed Osidero's body in front of them.

At the same time.

The Blade of Fenghua, who was instructed by Matthew, also took action.

Ah Bing targeted the demon commanders who jumped out to refute the rumors.

A few minutes later.

Those demons lost the chance to hold on.

Because their heads had already fallen quietly in the chaos!

In fact.

Even if Ah Bing hadn't taken action.

The information of Osidero's death could not be concealed.

All demons could sense the subtle changes in the ritual field of the Forged Holy Weapon.

They could clearly feel that they were getting weaker.

And the source of all this.

It could only be the problem of the coach!

What's more, Matthew was flying over their heads with Osidero's body.

Except for a few brave abyss mages who were quickly dealt with.

Osidero himself did not come out to overturn the other party's statement.

This is enough to explain everything!

The morale of the demon army quickly became extremely low.

Putting aside the backlash of the Forged Holy Weapon ritual field.

One of the drawbacks of Osedro's long-term love of micro-management is that without his control, the demon army's deployment of troops has lost its order.

Under normal circumstances.

It is impossible for the army of the abyss to be arranged so regularly and densely.

When Osedro is here, all this is not a problem, but an advantage.

But once Osedro dies.

When chaos begins to break out.

The hidden dangers of the dense phalanx of the demon army quickly erupted-

The demoralized and confused demons began to blame each other.

Some people wanted to ask for proof, some wanted to temporarily leave the battlefield, and some wanted to continue to attack the cemetery!

There was a clear division within the three major legions of the first echelon-

The manic Brezu demon only knew to continue the previous instructions of the coach and continuously launched attacks;

The group of great demons headed by the great demon commander wanted to maintain order, control the situation, and then take over the power vacuum left by Osedro's death;

And the cavalry demons...

They have already run back to the second echelon under the leadership of the twin cavalry demons!

"What a fast escape!"

Matthew was slightly surprised. These two brothers have a good sense of crisis and can always get out of danger!

However, in this situation.

Matthew naturally has no way to target such individuals who are good at changing their minds.

At this moment.

He began to mobilize troops to counterattack in the chaos-

On the west wing, the magic ships of the Southern Mage Corps were all activated, and the two skeleton swordsmen battalions that Li Ruike had originally used as backup also pressed forward.

The Brezu demons were deeply trapped in the front battlefield, and the cavalry demons all ran away. Only some big demons and other demons in the second legion were still resisting.

However, after Li Ruike's relentless charge.

After a few rounds.

The remaining demons of the second legion also fled.

The demons on the east wing were even more embarrassed.

They were originally going to go around, but who knew that their coach was gone while going around!

The moment Matthew ordered a counterattack.

Rhaegar's fire bat soldiers and cavalry had already set their sights on them.

Although Matthew was reluctant to let them join the battlefield, it was mainly because each of Rhaegar's soldiers was very precious and not as cheap and durable as his own undead.

But when the battle really started.

The combat effectiveness of the fire bat soldiers and hell cavalry was extremely amazing.

They cooperated with the forest guards and centaurs who rushed out of the woods. Soon, more than 3,000 demons were killed and their armor was gone.

Seeing that the situation was not right, many demons began to flee all the way to the north.

However, this situation was what the cavalry was most happy to see.

They chased along the edge of the forest and achieved a lot of results!

As for the front battlefield.

Xiao Fei, who had been beaten for a long time, blew the horn of counterattack with a powerful counterattack storm.

Matthew personally led the entire army of the cemetery elite to press on.

Not long after.

They wiped out a large number of Brezu demons and some demons who failed to withdraw from the battlefield in time.

"Hoo!"

As Matthew and Xiao Fei passed by, the corpses of demons lay in a pile.

The Dusk Dragon followed behind, spewing out fan-shaped breath from time to time.

Not long after.

In the area hit by the breath, the demons stumbled back to their feet.

Not long after they got up, they were pulled into the team by Argus, who was busy conscripting men.

His cannon fodder troops were almost completely consumed in the fight with the Brezu Demon.

But it doesn't matter.

The finishing work is not yet completed.

The newly added cannon fodder has already taken their positions.

When the Dusk Dragon transforms all the corpses into cannon fodder undead, Argus's troops will be several times stronger than before!

That's it.

On the battlefield filled with frost, fire and negative energy, the sound of fighting gradually became quiet.

Matthew stood in the air one kilometer north of the trench and looked north.

The second and third echelons of the Abyss Army have now retreated to the ruins of the North Trade Station.

And during this withdrawal.

A large number of demons died on the road.

As if the souls of the dead were wailing and crying, a thick fog slowly rose on the battlefield.

The fog separated the cemetery and the Abyss Army on both sides.

Everything returned to silence.

Matthew looked at the corpses in front of him and slowly breathed a sigh of relief.

He knew that the Abyss Army would not give up.

But no matter what.

He at least took the first step to protect the Rolling Stone City.

The first battle was a victory!

…

The night fell.

In the soul cage.

Osedroro was still begging:

"Stop fighting, stop fighting!"

"I am willing to cooperate with all your actions!"

"Please, let me go!"

Not far away.

Matthew waved his hand to stop the torture of the Banshee Queen.

"I don't really want to torture you."

"I have no opinion on you personally."

"It's just that a friend of mine told me that you Abyss Mages have a trick to escape. Even if your soul is imprisoned, you still have a chance to escape."

"And the only way to avoid this is to whip you continuously. Am I right?"

Osedro's breath was choked.

Then he said with difficulty:

"That kind of spell does exist in the Abyss, but my soul is not strong enough to do that."

"You should be able to feel that I am very weak now. It is difficult for me to even maintain my soul form, let alone escape!"

"It will not help you in this war if you torture me or kill me."

"In the Abyss, the will of the Matrix is ​​above all else. The Abyss Matrix asked us to attack Rolling Stone City. Even if I die, the demons will choose a new leader to replace me and continue to invade your territory."

"On the contrary, as long as I am alive, I can provide you with information from the abyss."

"You are a smart man, and I am not stupid. We are both mages. I know how to keep myself alive. Believe me, I will not be stupid."

He looked at Matthew with pleading eyes.

Matthew was unmoved.

He signaled Xin Fulan to whip Osedro.

Then he said:

"You have no bargaining chips with me."

"I will only ask the question once."

"If you don't answer, you will die!"

"Now, I want to know what Eisner's real goal is?"

Matthew's eyes were like torches, locking onto Osedro's spirit like a hawk.

Osidero answered in a low voice:

"Rolling Stone City, Deep Blue Harbor, Gem Bay, Lion City... and some city-states in the north."

Matthew sneered:

"That's not what I'm asking. You just said I'm a smart man, but you're not stupid either--

Then you're just playing crazy.

I'll give you one last chance--

What is Eisner's real goal!?"

He didn't believe that the Abyss Lord Eisner was a complete lunatic.

In the context that the God Mages will most likely return in a month.

The other party not only let the demons under his command come out in full force, but also landed in the material world in their true form--

This is a heavy price.

There must be a strategic goal behind it that is worth it.

These days.

Matthew has been wondering about this matter.

He hopes to get the answer from Osidero.

Osidero was silent for a long time.

For a long while.

"If you tell me directly, I will die."

He said in a very firm tone:

"I can only tell you that he does have a goal that he is very eager to achieve..."

"Although his body is divided into 100 million parts, most of them are tricks to cover up the truth."

"His real body went to a place, a place I just didn't mention..."

At that moment.

A flash of lightning flashed through Matthew's mind:

"Emerald Cangting?"

He blurted out.

Osidero's spirit body suddenly trembled violently!

...
