A Necromancer Who Just Wants to Plant Trees

Chapter 1699: 462 God of Murder’s doppelganger_4

Because they sensed the aura of the Sacred Artifact of the God of Murder.

It was what they dreamt of obtaining.

It was the key tool for their transformation into true offspring of the God of Murder!

Not a single Frenzy could resist such seduction.

So they lingered in this place, foolishly chasing after the speeding carriage, hoping to seize that slim chance.

“It’s time to give them a taste of sweetness,” he said.

In the air,

the Slaughter Domain’s aura became incredibly dense.

Matthew observed that some Frenzies, unable to catch up with his carriage and unable to suppress their inner desire for slaughter, had already started to fight to the death with other Frenzies.

These fights ignited the fuse of the Slaughter Domain.

All the Frenzies began to indulge in the slaughter.

Even Matthew could feel it clearly—

As long as he killed all the Frenzies present, he would gain a massive amount of elements in the Slaughter Domain and seize the domain authority forged from the flesh and blood of these Frenzies!

This temptation was indeed captivating.

But Matthew still restrained himself.

The person who had planned and spread the God of Murder’s lineage was yet to appear; of course, he could not strike rashly.

However,

It didn’t stop Matthew from adding more fuel to the increasingly fierce fire of slaughter.

“I’m curious to see if you really can keep your cool,” Matthew said with a light chuckle.

The next second,

The glowing red short knives appeared in his hands.

Matthew pulled back the curtain.

Under the greedy gaze of a crowd of Frenzies,

He abruptly threw the Blade of the Ignorant into the crowd!

“Roar!”

The Frenzies let out roars like wild beasts.

They instantly abandoned the carriage and rushed towards where the red short knives had fallen.

“Ah—”

Screams erupted.

The first to catch the red short knives was a disheveled woman.

Her body was covered with mutative spines and tumors.

She looked just like a hedgehog.

Even so, those mutative organs couldn’t stop the frenzy of her own kind rushing at her.

In just five seconds,

The Frenzy was pinned down by others on the ground, her organs torn apart into hundreds of pieces.

The red short knives were then snatched by a Frenzy who had turned into a werewolf amidst the chaos!

“Hiss, hiss, hiss… ”

The werewolf under the night sky made an excited and suppressed sound.

His body turned into a shadow, moving rapidly under the moonlight, and in less than ten seconds, he left the other Frenzies behind!

While running at high speed, the werewolf held the Blade of the Ignorant aloft.

He seemed to be absorbing the divine elements and the branding of the God of Murder from the knife.

Accompanying this process,

The werewolf’s pupils turned a fresh red, and his body started to emit a striking snow glow.

However, before he could get far,

A bulky half-orc suddenly burst out from the ruins nearby.

In just an instant,

The half-orc pounced on the werewolf, who was still in a ghostly state!

His claws easily tore through the werewolf’s neck vessels, and before a large amount of blood could gush out, the half-orc had already twisted the werewolf’s neck completely off!

Crack!

He stomped the werewolf’s head into pieces, then grabbed the Blade of the Ignorant for himself.

Following that,

His entire body seemed to touch a powerful current.

Blood glows thousands of times more dazzling than the werewolf’s erupted from the half-orc.

His muscles began to swell with blood.

His physique also expanded more than twice its original size!

At this moment,

The group of Frenzies chasing the werewolf caught up.

They all rushed towards the four-meter-tall half-orc!

But the scene of the previous owner of the red short knives being torn apart by everyone didn’t occur—

The half-orc took the initiative to meet them head-on.

With a ferocious slap toward the crowd,

The powerful palm wind tore through the surrounding space, and with a crisp snap, the gigantic hand sent the torsos of two Frenzies flying!

Following that,

The half-orc let out a loud roar.

All nearby Frenzies were so intimidated they couldn’t move from their spots.

His massive palm clutched the delicate short knife, which he swiftly and accurately slashed towards his kin’s heads.

Within mere seconds,

over a dozen Frenzy heads lay on the ground!

The half-orc grew more and more fierce as he fought.

He voluntarily charged into the crowd, unleashing a reckless slaughter.

By that time, there were simply too many Frenzies attracted by the Blade of the Ignorant.

After having killed at least twenty of his own kind,

the half-orc was finally stabbed through the heart by an assassin, ultimately screaming as he fell amidst the crowd.

In the chaos,

the agile assassin quickly stole the Blade of the Ignorant.

After they had dismembered the half-orc’s body,

some couldn’t resist turning on each other, fighting those nearby.

The rest followed their senses towards the Holy Artifact, chasing after it into the darkness!

By the ruins,

a carriage driven by a headless coachman slowly came to a halt.

Inside the carriage,

Matthew coldly observed the entire chaotic slaughter—

The assassin who had stolen the Blade of the Ignorant during the turmoil didn’t survive for long either.

From the perspective of the Immortal Eye,

Matthew could clearly see that the Sacred Artifact of the God of Murder had changed ownership again. However, this new owner was also in a perilous situation amidst the attack by his kin.

The intensity of the battles among the Frenzies was about what Matthew had predicted.

People were dying almost every moment.

The buildings around them were also severely damaged—

If Matthew hadn’t chosen the rarely visited ruins within Order City, the destruction caused by these madmen would have been even more severe!

And as the slaughter continued,

Matthew noticed,

that a portion of the Frenzies were growing stronger at a speed visible to the naked eye.

“It seems that the bearers of the proof of murder can absorb massive amounts of XP and elements through massacre.”

He thought this because,

Matthew noticed that a hobgoblin assassin who had been continuously assassinating his kin since entering the arena had already leveled up several times!

He had probably risen from LV13 to LV16, and there was even a tendency to break through to Tier 5!

The hobgoblin assassin didn’t directly participate in the fight for the short knives.

He remained very calm,

never even glancing at the short knives; instead, he took advantage of the turmoil over the knives to continuously reap the lives of the weakened.

There were a few others like him,

Matthew calculated that there were about 5-7 Frenzies in the field who remained calm, all engaging in behavior similar to that of the hobgoblin assassin—

secretly killing to level up!

Unless something unexpected happened,

the winner of tonight’s Holy Artifact contest would likely emerge from these few individuals.

But compared to these Frenzies,

Matthew was actually more concerned about other people—

like, for instance, a certain legendary summoner in a hot-air balloon floating in the sky who bore a striking resemblance to little Ingram, likely the legendary Butterfly City Lord;

and, for example,

the mysterious woman who had suddenly appeared at the edge of the ruins.

“Finally couldn’t resist, could you?”

Matthew, with the aid of the Immortal Eye, easily locked his view onto the human woman.

She was dressed in a bright red robe, with black hair that fell to her waist and startlingly pale skin.

From her, Matthew sensed the aura of the God of Murder.

But unlike the faint aura on the Frenzies,

the divine aura on the mysterious woman was very strong!

It was so strong that Matthew almost thought she was the God of Murder herself!

“Let’s see who you really are?”

Matthew couldn’t help but zoom in the perspective of the Immortal Eye.

The next second,

the woman seemed to sense something.

She suddenly turned her head and grinned in the direction of Matthew’s view.

Immediately after,

she violently flung open her robe from the middle, revealing the high peaks and vast expanses of white within, and…

countless white larva breaking through the surface of her pale skin!

At that moment,

Matthew’s eyelid twitched!

He had seen this larva somewhere before!

“Warning: You have encountered a ‘Doppelganger of the God of Murder (parasitized).”

You have observed a large number of ‘Mad Zerg Larvae!'”
