A Necromancer Who Just Wants to Plant Trees-Chapter 1788 - 489 Legendary Ability: Impermanence of Life and Death_2

Chapter 1788: 489 Legendary Ability: Impermanence of Life and Death_2

"The ceremonial field itself has no effect, its only purpose is to call out and attract creatures from the purgatory plane."

"They set up this type of ceremonial field here in order to further accelerate the assimilation of the Earth Core Dream!"

Purgatory Blood River.

That existed on the same level as the main body of the Abyss.

It was the embodiment of evil nature and one of the most malevolent beings in the Multiverse!

At that moment, Matthew also felt that the Earth Core Dream was suffering from the corrosion of the Blood River.

Without thinking, he pulled out his Sword of Slaughter!

This thing was perfect for dismantling ceremonial fields!

But Melinda hastily stopped him:

"We can't rashly dismantle the ceremonial field!"

"Since the Blood River has been summoned, this location has become part of purgatory's expansion. If we forcibly dismantle the ceremonial field, it would trigger the ferocity of the Blood River, and legendary-level demons could descend upon this place..."

"The only way to address this ceremonial field is patiently remove the blood sacs one by one, slowly..."

Right then,

she detailed how to dismantle the blood sacs on the ceiling.

Melinda, born in Interdimensional Space from the Purgatory Humans and with demon blood herself, was naturally very clear on the matters of purgatory.

After listening, Matthew couldn't help but frown:

"Doing it your way is too troublesome."

"How long is this going to take?"

Melinda smiled bitterly, just about to say something, when Konda firmly said:

"Let me do it."

"I know you are pressed for time, you have important things to accomplish, so it's best for me to stay here and dismantle it slowly."

Then,

he lifted his head to look at Matthew:

"I have already brought you two into the Earth Core Dream. My task is considered complete."

"Continuing with you, with my current strength, I might just be a burden. It's better for me to stay and do something within my capabilities."

Matthew thought for a moment:

"But it's not very safe here."

Konda smiled:

"As long as I don't encounter too formidable an opponent, I still have some means to protect myself."

"Moreover, staying here to dismantle the blood sacs will give me some time to think. My mind is in chaos right now. I need to find a way to settle down..."

"If you find any clues about Master Guda, please be sure to tell me."

"The Master is the most important person in my life, he saved my life and guided my path. After the attack on Sky Heart Land, I really worry about him..."

Seeing his determined will,

Matthew did not force him further.

He just curiously asked one more question:

"How did you become a disciple of Master Guda?"

Konda was silent for a few seconds, then earnestly narrated:

"The Imperial Descendants' army destroyed a Tauren gathering place deep in the astral world."

"My parents and family were killed by the army's soldiers."

"I was a child and miraculously escaped, taken back to Storluk Industries, where I heard the company's higher-ups planned to brainwash us, then train us into a special army."

"However, I was lucky. This incident was just exposed by Master Guda, and under his vehement opposition, the brainwashing plan was shelved, and I was fortunate to come to Sky Heart Land thereafter, becoming an Ancient."

Matthew was slightly startled:

"Your parents were killed by the people of Storluk Industries, do you really not hold any resentment towards them?"

Konda sincerely said:

"There was resentment."

"As a child, every moment was filled with thoughts of revenge."

"But after years of teachings from Master Guda, I gradually understand that hatred cannot solve problems."

"The path of the Ancient I finally took, was also by letting go of hatred."

"Now, I have no resentment towards Storluk Industries because, in a way, without them, there would not be me. "

"I have learned to appreciate everything I have, and then use my love and strength to influence others..."

The young Tauren rambled on, very sincerely.

But the more Matthew listened, the stranger he felt!

However, he did not linger there for long, but after giving some potentially useful scrolls to Konda, he and Melinda continued deeper into the cave.

After walking out for five or six minutes,

Matthew suddenly said:

"Don't you think something is off?"

Melinda, always perceptive:

"Are you speaking about Konda?"

Matthew nodded:

"When he first appeared, he claimed to be 'Master Guda's recently accepted disciple.'"

"But later, when he talked about the customs of training in Sky Heart Land, it sounded like he has lived there for many years."

"Earlier, when he was telling the story of his childhood, he said that Master Guda's teachings took 'years and years'..."

"Isn't there a contradiction here?"

Melinda speculated,

"Perhaps when he was young, he only joined the Sky Heart Land and became an Ancient, but he didn't immediately become a disciple of Master Guda. Could it be that only recently his exceptional performance gained Guda's approval?"

Matthew shook his head,

"That's too far-fetched."

"He just mentioned his near-mind control experience..."

Melinda was startled,

"Do you mean he has been mind-controlled?"

"And that's why there are inconsistencies in his logic and memory?"

A gleam flashed through Matthew's eyes,

"I wouldn't rule out that possibility."

If that were the case,

then a big question mark needed to be placed over the appearance of "Master Guda" as a guardian in the Earth Core Dream.

"But if that's true, why would Guda send someone, who could potentially make mistakes, to guide us?"

Melinda queried, puzzled.

Matthew glanced at the blinking "Tauren Domain."

He didn't explain much,

but he guessed that under normal circumstances, Konda wouldn't so easily reveal inconsistencies in his logic and memory.

"He might have been influenced by my domain..."

Matthew sighed inwardly.

If possible,

he would, of course, want to save a Tauren youth who might have been mind-controlled.

However, with more pressing matters at hand, he could only leave a backup spell coordinate in place and continue forward.

The underground cave was exceedingly complex.

Apart from having only one or two paths at the beginning, later on, almost all routes had several branches.

Matthew's prophecy spell was inadequate.

They had to rely on Melinda to lead the way.

However, the power of the Secrets Sorcerer's spells was also greatly limited in this Earth Core Dream.

They could only rely on the evil aura left by demons to discern a vague direction.

It was a long and arduous pursuit.

Throughout the journey,

the two hardly spoke.

Melinda appeared preoccupied with heavy thoughts,

while Matthew was also distracted due to an unexpected piece of news.

...

"Notification: Your 'Legendary Spell – Undead Starburst' has successfully hit Hippocampus Force's N9 base; the power and subsequent impact of your spell resulted in the death of over 300 space undead!

You have gained the new title 'Star Tamer'!

Your Path of Slaughter has evolved further, and you have now unlocked a new branch, 'Equal Treatment.'

Equal Treatment: When practicing the Path of Slaughter, each time you complete a small-scale slaughter of a new group (exceeding 300), you may gain additional rewards!

Path of Slaughter (Equal Treatment): You have gained the legendary ability 'Impermanence of Life and Death' from the Nature Domain!

Impermanence of Life and Death: You may use this ability on any dying life.

Once the ability takes effect,

the target has a 65% chance of returning to full vigor, clearing all negative states.

There is also a 35% chance of immediate death!

Available 3 times per day.

Note: This ability may also be used on oneself..."

...

Impermanence of Life and Death.

Such a counterintuitive ability?

Matthew was filled with astonishment.

He hadn't expected the Undead Starburst to actually kill so many space undead,

nor had he anticipated such a wild extension of the Path of Slaughter.

And he certainly hadn't expected such a mad ability from the Nature Domain.

But then again,

if one were to use it as a last resort, its cost-effectiveness was actually off the charts.

After all, it was just a death.

What if it succeeded?

As Matthew marveled at the newly acquired legendary ability,

Melinda suddenly asked in a low voice,

"Matthew."

"Tell me honestly."

"Is Sif really still in the Rolling Stone Kingdom?"
