A Necromancer Who Just Wants to Plant Trees

Chapter 2035: 591 “Legendary Ability: Burial”_2

In an instant.

A giant pale hand, like a mountain, directly grasped Demmo entirely in its palm.

Crunch!

The Pale Hand slowly closed.

Demmo immediately bled from all seven orifices.

His whole body echoed with the sound of bones shattering.

Matthew’s eyes also began to bleed.

The world before him split into two halves, one crimson, the other greyish-brown.

And both symbolized death!

“Death!”

Matthew shouted in a low voice.

The colossal Pale Hand exerted all its force in one assault, instantly compressing Demmo’s body into a collapsed shape.

His bones protruded outward incessantly, and his skin was riddled with punctured holes while blood erupted like fountains, surging in all directions.

At this moment.

Matthew could no longer see Demmo’s face.

But he knew.

The other had not given up.

So he continued to squeeze with the Pale Hand.

A few seconds later.

An eyeball suddenly sprang out from the mass of Demmo’s flesh—

It stared intently at Matthew.

In an instant.

A greyish-brown rune flashed across the surface of the eyeball.

That magic rune was so striking that the moment Matthew saw it, his heart skipped a beat.

Instinct told him.

That rune was problematic.

Matthew diverted his gaze, endeavoring not to look at the eyeball or its rune.

Yet they continued to appear in Matthew’s mind!

Initially, they flickered like a slideshow.

Eventually.

The eyeball and rune seemed deeply etched into Matthew’s consciousness space.

He couldn’t forget.

Nor could he erase them!

“I’ve never seen a necromancer like you, inherently contradictory, yet incredibly strong.”

“This is just the beginning of your legendary ascent…”

“I have no doubt that, given time, you’ll become the strongest necromancer in the Multiverse—I once scoffed at the idea, but now, I am ashamed of my previous arrogance.”

Demmo’s wistful voice came from that mass of indistinguishable flesh:

“Fortunately.”

“Baiyan City has passed down many things for survival.”

“I know you surely don’t like this feeling, but people always have to accept something that doesn’t belong to them, don’t they?”

“Hehehe…”

Accompanied by Demmo’s rather joyful laughter.

The mass of flesh suddenly exploded.

The Pale Hand was momentarily pushed back by that force.

The next second.

A total of twelve Guardian Silver Rings appeared around the flesh mass.

Matthew saw a blood-red crystal emerge among Demmo’s shattered flesh.

Immediately.

Under the influence of the crystal’s power.

Demmo Ritz transformed back into what looked like a newborn baby!

“So you also consumed an Ember Blood Crystal…”

Matthew was a bit surprised.

“You managed to hide it so well?”

The infant-like Demmo sneered coldly:

“You still care to worry about this?”

“Why not feel the power of that rune!”

“You surely can discern its effect, can’t you?”

Matthew’s eyes habitually squinted slightly:

“Death?”

Demmo smiled with satisfaction:

“Yes, death.”

“This is an extreme spell called ‘mutual destruction,’ one of Baiyan City’s top profound meanings, mastered only by the core members of the three great families.”

“That rune binds our life and soul.”

“If I die, you will inevitably die too, this is an inexorable law.”

“More interestingly, as you’ve seen, I have the Ember Blood Crystal, ready to resurrect at any time, but what about you? How many lives do you have to gamble with me?”

“You should also feel honored; you’re among the few who have made me feel fear in recent years, and still just a young junior…”

“Sadly, victory always sides with the stronger one.”

“And this time, Baiyan City is the true strong one!”

Accompanying Demmo’s narration.

His body was also growing visibly fast.

In a matter of seconds.

He transformed from a newborn into a child of five or six.

It probably wouldn’t take long to return to his original form.

He appeared confident of his victory.

But Matthew’s face showed no worry.

He even gently smiled:

“Mutual destruction, huh?”

“Interesting…”

“Then let’s do it, let’s try again!”

As the words fell.

The massive Pale Hand returned, pinning a stunned Demmo firmly in its palm!

“You’re crazy!”

Demmo cursed through clenched teeth:

“You can’t kill me at all!”

“Why bother going to such lengths?”

Matthew smiled:

“If you truly cannot be killed, then why use protective items during resurrection?”

“If I’m not mistaken, these twelve Guardian Silver Rings come from the Ancient God of Life’s temple’s Life Rings, rumored to possess unbelievable defensive capabilities…”

“Withstanding my Pale Hand for so long also confirms the rumors are true, yet as far as I know, Life Rings are consumables. If you really fear no death, and are prepared to use mutual destruction against me, why go through all this extra trouble?”

While speaking.

Matthew’s Pale Hand exerted force again.

In the face of the terrifying legendary resonance and negative energy tsunami.

One Silver Ring instantly shattered.

Leaving only eleven rings still firmly protecting Demmo’s life!

Demmo’s expression flickered:

“Just because of such guesses, you’d dare gamble…”

Matthew interrupted the other with laughter:

“This is no gamble.”

“It’s what I must do.”

“Today, even mutually assured destruction, you must die!”
