This Necromancer Just Wants to Plant Trees

Chapter 1604: 442 Fire Cover and Ancient City Patrol_3

For many years after.

He saw that hue known as fear in the eyes of many of his prey.

That look gave him great satisfaction.

He collected fear in his hunts, feeding on it, and finally grew into the powerful Legendary Archer he is today.

The invincible man of his earlier life had never realized.

That the roles of hunter and hunted could be reversed!

In front of this necromancer.

He realized his own vulnerability, he realized that one day he too would become the nourishment others drew from fear!

Then he became incredibly angry.

Instinctively, he wanted to flee, but the Sealing Demon Ball that Audacia tossed his way gave him a glimmer of hope.

As long as he seized this slim chance.

He could turn the tables and kill his adversary, and then become an even more outstanding Legendary Hunter!

"I can kill him

"I can take him down

Leon muttered to himself.

He strode towards Matthew—

Of course.

"Striding” was his own perception of the action, but to others, Leon’s movements were painfully slow and sluggish, like a sick man who had just risen from his bed and was barely learning to walk!

Clutching the hunter’s short knives, he stumbled as he walked, seemingly on the verge of collapsing at any moment!

Despite that.

Due to the short distance between the two, he still managed to confront Matthew.

"Come on, necromancer, let’s settle this

"Let’s see who is the hunter favored by Fate, and who is the prey mocked by the world?”

As his words fell.

A burst of red light suddenly erupted from Leon’s body.

The veins on his forehead stood out, and his muscles visibly swelled at an astounding rate!

In that instant.

His speed increased tenfold, if not more!

His earlier demeanor was all a ruse, feigning weakness to get close to Matthew, just for this moment of explosive power!

In the blink of an eye.

The distance between them was less than a meter.

Leon stomped his feet hard, determination of life after certain death in his eyes, and he seemed to smell the scent of victory…

However, just at that moment.

A glass bottle was unexpectedly thrown at his chest. Leon swung his short knives, splitting the bottle right down the middle.

Crash.

Still, a large quantity of bluish-purple liquid splashed onto his body and skin.

A faint burning sensation followed.

He didn’t know what kind of potion it was.

But he could no longer dwell on it; he had to seize this only chance to kill his adversary!

"Die!”

He thrust his short knife toward Matthew’s chest but missed.

The latter dodged Leon’s Attack with a skilled Step Back—

This ability, shared by Soldier, seemed ordinary, yet it was extremely useful in actual combat.

The next second.

Matthew raised his right hand expressionlessly, his index fingertip aimed squarely at Leon’s chest:

"Who says Tier 3 spells can’t kill?”

As the words fell.

Strong Arcane energy surged over his body once again.

Immediately after.

An astonishing scene unfolded.

One after another, “Powerful Arcane Missiles” burst forth from Matthew’s fingertips, mercilessly striking Leon in the chest.

"Thud, thud, thud

At that moment.

Matthew’s fingers seemed to become a magic mechanism gun!

This chain of Powerful Arcane Missiles appeared to defy all principles of Spellcasting, erupting from his fingertips as if they cost him nothing.

And what was more fatal.

When the Powerful Arcane Missiles hit Leon, they had an unbelievable effect.

In just a moment.

His chest collapsed violently inwards, followed by the bluish-purple liquid that had clung to his skin beginning to glow brightly.

Then.

It disappeared into the radiance of even more Powerful Arcane Missiles!

After half a minute.

The young Legendary Archer fell backward powerlessly, his shoulders and the back of his head striking the ground hard.

By then.

His eyes filled with hatred and rage had already lost their luster.

What was more terrifying was his chest cavity.

By now, it had been thoroughly penetrated by those hundreds of Arcane Missiles, his heart, lungs, ribs, and other bodily tissues had all been pulverized!

Matthew silently walked over to Leon’s corpse.

Then, he drew a Golden Knife.

Stab—

He used the Yeager Blade to slice through Leon’s windpipe, inflicting the final lethal damage and ending the state of the Legendary Archer on the brink of death!

"I said I would keep my promise, this is the first one,” Matthew whispered.

He gently caressed the Yeager Blade, from which a faint buzzing sound emanated.

It was the sound of uncontainable joy!

…

…

Finally, the deed was done.

Matthew let out a deep breath in relief; despite the battle dragging on for quite a while.

In reality, from the moment Sener’s sneak attack failed and Matthew counterattacked, to everyone leaving the Magic Tower, to the time when Matthew decided to pursue Leon and finally kill him, only a little over three minutes had passed!
