A Necromancer Who Just Wants to Plant Trees-Chapter 1589 - : 438 Lord of the Tauren: New Invasion Target!_2

Chapter 1589: 438 Lord of the Tauren: New Invasion Target!_2

The Legendary-mage was actually subtly restrained by the Legendary Archer.

But in reverse,

as long as Matthew had no intention of killing,

he could use a multitude of methods to evade the other party—

Stealth of oneself would limit mobility!

But Matthew had no such concerns.

He boldly opened three portals in succession on the street and stepped through them without any defensive precautions.

Then he unleashed a section of the flying spell.

Moving at an extremely high speed, he flew towards the direction of the Big Slant Tower.

“Not going to make a move?”

“Because if you don’t, I really will leave…”

With a hint of mocking smile on his face, Matthew sensed the ominous aura of killing intent from behind.

He knew Li Ang was watching him intently.

So, he turned around and made a very obscene gesture, then walked away nonchalantly from the center of the street.

Even so,

Li Ang still didn’t make a move.

Matthew had crossed half the street when the killing intent behind him began to fade.

But he did not let his guard down.

On one hand, it was very possible that the other had retracted the mark on his prey as a ruse to lull him into a false sense of security, possibly preparing to strike unexpectedly at any moment.

On the other hand,

it was because on the other side of the street, a group of tall figures suddenly appeared.

Their faces were familiar.

They were none other than the trolls he had just encountered that morning.

Matthew contemplated their direction, his expression growing peculiar; it seemed they were also heading westward?

“We meet again, Mr. Matthew?”

Annie Salvens approached with a beaming smile to say hello.

Clearly,

she wasn’t too surprised to encounter Matthew.

Matthew greeted her naturally in return.

But at that moment,

a shrill whistling sound exploded by his ear—

His Insight detected two bright red dots.

One was close by his ear,

while the other was on a three-story building two streets to his right!

It was Dawn Star Leon!

And his Dimensional Gravitational Arrow!

“Finally!”

At that moment,

Matthew’s body tensed, his nerves stretched to their limit—

The cunning archer detonated the “hunted mark” at that instant, causing the target to stiffen slightly.

Although Matthew’s Toughness was not insignificant and he was protected by divine armour, the stiffening didn’t last long.

But for the Gravity Arrow,

that instant of rigidity was fatal!

“No choice then…”

Matthew prepared to use the “Undead Substitute” to evade the damage, not daring to gamble with his “undead body”; theoretically, the Gravity Arrow could instantly kill a life in a ghostly state!

However, an unexpected scene unfolded.

At the critical moment,

Troll Princess Annie suddenly stepped forward, raising her battle axe to intercept the arrow for Matthew.

But someone was even faster!

Whoosh!

A flash of yellow light that was as quick as a flicker passed by, followed by a faint explosion. A tall figure stepped out in front of Matthew and Annie.

He held a strange short sword in his hand, which instantly slashed through and severed the Dimensional Gravitational Arrow!

“Hmm!”

Matthew faintly heard the Legendary Archer’s snort of disdain.

The next second,

the arrowhead of the Gravity Arrow began to spin violently, detaching from the severed shaft, and the remainder whirled in a circuitous path towards Matthew.

Clap!

A large hand covered in bluish-gray fur reached out from the side.

With just a slap,

it caught the arrowhead in its grasp—

Boom!

A muffled explosion sounded.

The Gravity Arrow’s burst caused a slight fluctuation in the surrounding air, but the bluish-gray hand remained unscathed!

Matthew looked up in astonishment.

The owner of that bluish-gray hand and the strange short sword was one and the same—

“Holiday! Nicely done!”

Annie praised enthusiastically.

A wretched smile appeared on Holiday’s face:

“Heh-heh…”

“It was the least I could do, no one may harm you under my watch, Your Highness the Princess.”

Then he coldly cast a glance at Matthew:

“I did not do this for you, necromancer.”

“But if you are mindful of this favor, then please return Princess Ruiqi’s soul to us…”

As he said this,

he suddenly paused, his tone becoming somewhat unnatural:

“Why are you staring at me like that?”

Matthew chuckled, realizing he had been staring a bit too intently.

It couldn’t be helped.

Mainly because the Troll Warrior Holiday’s skillful interception had won Matthew’s respect and acknowledgement.

Noticing the nuances is the basic skill of every spellcaster.

This detail proved that Holiday had some genuine substance.

“I am simply amazed at your technique just now.”

“I was ready to use the Substitute Spell to evade the damage from that arrow.”

Matthew responded truthfully.

He didn’t conceal his admiration for Holiday, and also subtly reminded him that even without him, the arrow would not have been able to do anything to him.

Clearly,

the Troll Warrior was not so deep in thought; he didn’t ponder the second, implied meaning at all and instead was somewhat pleased with the praise of the first part:

“Glad you recognize my prowess!”

“Humph-humph…”

“The title of ‘Strongest Life Hunter of the Kuinan Forest’ isn’t just for show!”

Matthew smiled slightly.

The trolls seemed quite straightforward in their thinking.

He liked dealing with these kinds of people much better than the old foxes like Sener and Tyraste!

And at that moment,

a trace of movement flickered again from the Tauren Sovereign Authority!

…

‘Hint: You’ve triggered a new advancement path for “Authority – Lord of the Tauren”!’

Your mission “Greater Aggressiveness” has added a new target for aggression: “Life Hunter Warrior Holiday”!’

If you can bring Holiday under your command and have him serve you wholeheartedly, you will receive three times the benefits of the other two aggression targets.
