Chapter 154: Matt vs Mr.Becker, a strange necromancer (1)
"Aren't you surprised by my identity, Matthew Dietrich?" asked Mr. Becker, whose real name is Gabriel Becker.
Matt shrugged at his question.
"Why would I be surprised? I already suspected as much, you think you're the only one investigating the other one?"
Gabriel Becker frowned, "You suspected as much? You don't look like someone very smart; how could you suspect it?"
"Haha, do you think someone incapable would destroy your minions in the clan city?" Matt asked as he threw a few tokens and several sheets of paper on the ground.
That stunned Gabriel Becker, who frowned shortly after and glared at him.
The look on his face was dangerous.
"I see. No wonder they're attacking us now, so they've already made big moves in such a short time." His tone of voice trembled slightly, and for a moment, he breathed unevenly.
Still, he soon returned to normal and simply hovered with a dangerous look on his face.
"Matthew Dietrich, since you dare to take issue with my Vampiric Prosperity Organization, it's time for you to leave this world!" he snarled, imbuing his vampiric energy upon the pearl in his hand.
It glowed slightly, and an aura dispersed at high speed throughout the vast basement, making the nearby corpses roar.
This roar was deafening; at the same time, numerous corpses rushed at Matt like an avalanche that wanted to devour him.
'A magic or maybe ability of a vampire necromancer... Then these corpses should be vampires, too; how much power do they have?' Matt thought but was stunned by what Gabriel Becker had just done.
Gabriel Becker slapped the pearl on his chest, which remained on a small ornament on his clothing, which had been made specifically for this type of situation.
This also drastically increased his power with magic; it was a powerful magic Matt had seen before.
'Human magic!' He shouted in his mind in shock, but he had to defend himself from several corpses attacking him.
The blow from these corpses forcefully pushed him backward.
'That much power? Shit.'
So far, Matt had ignored most of the corpses he encountered because, after all, that's all they were—undead.
Most undead tended to have some power after they died, but that power wasn't usually high. Besides, this time, he could understand what made them undead.
It was that strange pearl, using a method somewhat unknown to him. It looked like magic, and in fact, if he thought about it objectively, he would be sure it was magic. But if he uses the logic of this world, according to what he has seen so far, vampires cannot use magic.
This is why they rely on abilities or their vampiric power to vary their attacks and surprise the enemy.
Even if this seems strange to Matt, because it should not be possible for someone not to be able to practice magic, that is the situation in this world.
So, maybe it's not magic, and instead, it's some strange ability.
Still, based on what little he had seen so far, he was sure that this pearl did not have too much necromantic power to allow the corpses it controlled to be so powerful.
That's why, as soon as he felt the blow he received, he immediately thought that these undead vampires, maybe, had lost almost no power after dying.
'Could it be the drug? That drug had some peculiarities and killing without anyone noticing...' Matt thought.
If it was the drug, then it is a treasure. One that these idiots hadn't realized.
As Matt found himself thinking, he had to return to his senses after seeing Gabriel Becker rushing at him at an astonishing speed.
Matt jumped to the side over the corpses and watched him hit the ground.
'I see... I hadn't noticed, but a vampire necromancer could be the most terrifying existence if allowed to grow. After all, not only does he control a large amount of powerful undead, but he himself has vampiric power to use. How troublesome.' Matt thought. Perhaps that was why vampires couldn't learn magic, though he still thought everyone should be able to.
Matt fell to the ground shortly after, landing on top of one of the corpses that were trying to jump to get to him.
As soon as he fell, his feet dug firmly into this corpse, and all of its flesh shredded beneath his feet.
Matt's eyes flashed then.
'I see; the weakness is that they have zero defense.' Matt thought and smiled.
As long as he knew the weakness of his adversary, everything would work out.
Therefore, he drew his weapon and threw it through the air towards several corpses.
This managed to pierce them easily due to the force used, which ended up destroying several heads instantly.
Even so, the number of corpses was still enormous.
And there was still Gabriel Becker, who attacked him from the front.
Matt defended himself from this attack, striking back as well.
*BOOOOM*
An intense explosion occurred as they collided, resulting in Gabriel Becker being pushed back.
He was stunned.
'Although I haven't been training lately, my authentic power is 5,500. With the pearl, it would increase to over 6,000, and I'm also wearing a ring, so I should have over 6,500 power... How the hell did I lose out to a freshman in the second academy?' He thought in shock and looked at him.
"Boy... You've been hiding your power. You surprised me."
Matt smirked but didn't answer him.
He immediately moved once again at an astonishing speed and threw a strong punch to his stomach. Gabriel Becker didn't expect it so fast, so he was knocked backward hard.
He raised his hand towards Matt and clenched his fist; simultaneously, the undead to the side of him rushed at Matt.
And a strange aura spread around the pearl on his neck.
This aura enveloped all these undead.
"ROOOAR!" They roared and slammed towards Matt with great power.
'Increased stats? This is mass magic!'
