After a round of crying.
All the Ground Fire Dragons were stunned on the spot.
The Drifter gracefully sank down. During this process, her looks were recovering at an extremely fast speed.
Miss Drifter lightly walked past a Ground Fire Dragon, and with a wave of her hand, the soul of a simple-minded Ground Fire Dragon was caught in her palm!
[Hint: Your summoned creature, the Drifter, has used its ability, ‘Sad Cries of
Death.’ J
[The Ground Fire Dragon’s immunity failed (Intelligence, Perception, and Will), and they all entered a state of absent-mindedness.]
[In this state, the Drifter could activate the second part of the skill, ‘Taking Soul’].
[In other words, she could directly cross the barrier of the Spiritual Realm and take away the souls of the absent-minded.]
The Drifter’s movements were very nimble.
After a few rounds, the souls of the seven Ground Fire Dragons were all captured by her.
She obediently sent these souls to Matthew. Matthew immediately took out a bottle that was usually used to hold pills from his luggage. After emptying the pills, he chanted the most basic Soul Seal Spell. The white smoke slowly dissipated.
Very quickly.
These weak souls were successively stored in bottles by Matthew.
On the ground, the soulless Ground Fire Dragon was dying rapidly.
Three minutes later.
They were completely dead.
Seeing this scene, the other three did not make a fuss. After all, Matthew had always been publicly known as a necromancer. If he kept relying on his shapeshifting transformation to win, it would be even stranger. “This should be a rear guard post.”
Xiuyi, who had been nowhere to be seen during the battle, appeared immediately after the battle ended.
He attentively searched the surroundings and reported,
I just found a mini alarm spell nearby, but the source of the alarm is not the members of the sentry post. It seems that Blinken already knows of our arrival. ”
Matthew nodded.
It was unrealistic to chase after a Great Mage without the latter knowing.
If Matthew wanted to negotiate with Blinken, he had to let him know that he was chasing him.
Matthew had to show a certain amount of strength, or he wouldn’t have a chance to negotiate with Blinken.
“From the way the sentry post was set up in a hurry, he seemed to be in a hurry to do something and didn’t seem to be in the mood to pay attention to us.”
Xiuyi speculated, ” If that’s the case, then there must be quite a few sentries along the way. Their purpose is not necessarily to stop us, but to slow us down as much as possible.”
Matthew agreed.
Therefore, he seized the time to search the corpse.
It was a pity that the lower class of the Dragon Lich Sect looked very poor. They must have handed over all their money to the cult.
Even the Dragon Blood Warrior with the Dragon Wings only had seven or eight gold coins on him.
Matthew had no choice but to order Soldier to take off the clothes, belts, underwear, shoes, and so on from the corpses.
It wasn’t that he was stingy.
There were simply too many undead in the cemetery at home.
Most of them did not have any decent clothes or equipment on them, so… Matthew was ‘shopping’ on their behalf.
The group continued to move forward.
However, the deeper they went into the swamp, the harder it was to walk.
In the afternoon, it was even more foggy. They couldn’t even see their fingers when they stretched out their hands. They couldn’t even tell the direction, let alone give chase quickly.
At this time, it was scary walking around the swamp. If one stepped into a pit, it would be extremely dangerous. Even for professional adventurers, there was a risk of death in the muddy swamp.
Matthew was not in a hurry. He held his breath and urged everyone to move forward slowly.
Because of the thick fog, the sunlight was greatly weakened, and the Drifter had more room to move.
Specters were the most comfortable in the swamp.
The Drifter was lightly exploring the path ahead, pointing out the possible mud or traps ahead.
Just like that.
Although they stumbled, they did not lose track of the Dragon Lich Sect.
Three hours passed.
They were already deep into the swamp, but they didn’t encounter many undeads along the way. They only killed three sentry posts of the Dragon Lich Cult.
Each sentry post was stronger than the last. The last one was even equipped with two archers.
If it weren’t for the fact that Matthew had Soldier and the Drifter, two elite assassins, these two archers hiding in the tree would have caused them a lot of trouble.
Finally, after a fierce battle.
Only the unlucky Bobo was hit by an arrow on her knee and helmet. Her armour was very strong, but the archers weren’t mediocre either. The arrows they shot were extremely powerful, leaving bruises on Bobo’s forehead and knee.
This made her extremely angry. She threatened to blow up the Dragon Lich Sect’s lair on the spot.
And in these three battles.
The most outstanding performance was undoubtedly Matthew’s new employee, the Drifter.
Spectres were semi-invisible, had fast movement speed, and could kill without blinking. They also had two incredible abilities, Physical Damage Immunity and Death-seeking Wails.
This allowed the Drifter to enter the Dragon Lich Sect’s army as if no one was around. After killing a few times, she would be able to completely disrupt the enemy’s formation.
What followed was naturally a happy harvesting time for Matthew’s group.
Seeing this scene.
Matthew was very pleased at first, but he soon felt a headache.
Even though there was a strong worker, Matthew’s lineup was less than satisfactory.
Putting aside the zombies and skeletons that were cannon fodder, among the contract summons…
Peggy was a logistics team leader who had worked hard for many years. Matthew was usually unwilling to send her to the battlefield to fight the enemy head-on..
