A Necromancer Who Just Wants to Plant Trees - Chapter 583:

Chapter 583: Death-Reaping Curse, Five Dragons Alliance

Translator: Lonelytree

[Hint: Your current level is LV16. If you want to continue levelling up, you must continue to invest more XP and consume Legendary points.]

[Current Status: XP still has excess points. The Legendary Path is insufficient, so it cannot be upgraded.]

[Your attributes have increased: Intelligence +1, Intuition +1.]

Your contract slot +4;

You have gained new abilities, Negative Energy Transformation and Death Reaper Curse.

[Negative Energy Transformation: You can transform yourself by injecting negative energy into certain parts of your body. The parts that have been transformed by negative energy will obtain additional natural armour, additional muscle strength, additional negative energy affinity, and additional overall casting speed.]

Warning: The negative energy transformation limit cannot exceed 60% of your entire body, or your body will be irreversible towards the direction of the undead.

[Death Reaper Curse: Create a pale energy chain between you and a target. This energy chain cannot be interrupted by terrains and buildings. It can extend up to 30 meters.]

When the target is chained, the target’s resistance to instant death will be greatly reduced.

Your ability “Undead Summoning” has been upgraded to “Multiple Undead Summoning”.

[Multiple Undead Summoning: When you use Summoning of the Undead, you can maintain a larger number of summoned creatures with a lower concentration and have more precise control over them.]

In view of your arduous research on the path of necromancy, you can choose one of the following three fields:

Soul/Pale/Nether Weapon.

A dense stream of messages flashed in front of Matthew.

Compared to the last advancement, there was one less class characteristic this time, but the overall improvement was still real.

Matthew focused his attention on the selection of domains.

These three domains were all sub-domains of death. The soul domain was the most expansive and vast, but it was also the most attractive.

On the other hand, the Pale and Nether Weapons were relatively narrow.

Pale referred to a very special area in the Underworld, as well as a general term for a type of undead that mainly consisted of ghosts.

The nether weapon represented a weapon domain that was highly related to negative energy.

Matthew hesitated.

First, he ruled out the ” Nether Weapon ‘

As a spellcaster who already had the Skull of Augustus, Matthew felt that there was no need for him to delve too deeply into weapon -related fields.

And between [Soul] and [Pale].

Matthew had once leaned towards the former.

However, after thinking for a moment.

He still chose Pale.

The reason for not choosing ” Soul ” was simple. The domain brought by the advancement could only be passively endured and could not be actively explored.

In this case, the soul domain was more random, and Matthew was not sure what he could gain.

On the other hand, the Pale Domain was much narrower, and its direction was very clear.

Matthew could already guess what he would gain by choosing the Pale Domain.

In the next second.

[Hint: You have obtained the Pale Domain.]

[Your temporary ability, Hand of Paleness, has been solidified into a permanent ability, retaining all its previous characteristics.]

– You have gained the favour of pale creatures (Ghost, Spectre, Pale Horse, Pale Knight…)

[You have obtained permission to enter the “Pale Land (Underworld)” at any time.]

As expected.

This made Matthew secretly happy.

This ability had its own merits compared to ” Astrid’s Claw.” The key was that it did not require too much concentration to maintain, which gave him the space to operate from both sides.

As for the right to enter the Underworld at any time, it was a small surprise.

Matthew had thought that it would be good enough if he could obtain something related to the Pale Land. He did not expect to directly turn a remote place in the Underworld into his own backyard!

No matter how remote it was, it was still a place that no one dared to enter.

To many mages, this meant that it was of great strategic value.

As for the pale creature’s goodwill, it was purely a bonus.

He had no intention of becoming the ” Lord of Paleness.”

It was enough to make the ghosts under him work for him in peace.

Compared to the Domain, the two new abilities were the biggest gains from this upgrade.

In general, negative energy modification and Reaper’s Curse were both supportive abilities.

However, both of them had extraordinary value.

The former could strengthen Matthew’s body, but the price was a certain amount of physical activity.

However, Matthew was very curious. If he used the vitality of life to neutralize the corrosion of negative energy, would he have a chance to obtain the strength of the body modified by negative energy while preventing his body from losing too much life essence?

The latter was even more significant.

Matthew currently had many spells and abilities that could instantly cause death, but due to the low probability of instant death, these abilities were often not used.

The Reaper Curse had a chance of reversing the situation.

As long as they were locked by Matthew’s energy chain.

When the time came, he would cast an instant death spell on the enemy.

If the other party were unlucky, they would die on the spot.

This was undoubtedly a new trump card for Matthew.

In general.

The increase in strength brought by levelling up was good.

However, it was not as great as he had imagined.

Matthew was well aware of this.

The reason why he chose to level up was not to obtain a short-term increase in combat power but to ensure that he could play a greater role in the next battle.

After all, the Black Dragon had already openly attacked Rolling Stone Town..
