……

Inside the Cross City, there was chaos.

The mass of flesh that erupted from the Nursery's lotus jumped twice, and limbs and heads grew one after another, turning into withered cultists with sallow skin and the shape of wild beasts.

These blighters attacked people when they saw them.

Their attacks are also quite primitive, using only their claws and teeth to shred everything they see.

Some of the Blighters couldn't even tell the difference between the living and the dead, and there were many people who were cradling a huge door panel after they landed.

This scene was watched by people and caused extreme panic.

No one knows if they will be harmed by the Blighters.

Every household closed the door in a panic and used all kinds of rudimentary props to strengthen the doors and windows.

Wanderers who don't have time to return home, or who are simply homeless, are miserable.

They ran helplessly in the streets or in the clearings, miserably hiding from the blighters.

The Blight Cultists don't run fast.

But there are just too many of them.

At first, the wanderers were able to easily shake off the beastly cultists with their agility and speed.

Can be with the passage of time.

More and more blighters gathered on the roads.

A single negligence on the part of an escaped wanderer could lead to his or her life.

These man-eating beasts will not spare a single delicious living being.

The Cross City has become a purgatory on earth.

A terrible picture is rapidly unfolding.

"I don't know what spurred them to make a makeshift move, but these lunatics aren't as crazy as they seem, and every step they take actually has a deep meaning."

Outside the Cross City.

Mary Joya quickly said to Matthew:

"You should have seen that the Lotus of the Nursery just now was actually an illusion, right?"

"Its true body is hidden deep underground, providing a field of support for the actions of the Blight Cultists, and the actions of the Blight Order will not stop until the true Mother Breeding Lotus is resolved."

"You'll need to contact those two legendary mages sooner, our time is being compressed."

"By the way, watch out for the Blighted Cultists, they may have poison on them."

That's all that is said and done.

She ordered most of the Scourge cultists to retreat to the underground stronghold.

After that, he took a group of elites to the Scourge Order's buildings in the city.

Matthew quietly parted ways with her.

It was a tacit understanding between him and Mary Joy.

That's it.

It was impossible for him to remain in the Scourge Order as an undercover agent, as that might expose Zangura's existence.

Although there is a high probability that Mary Joya also knew about the infiltration of this human hero.

The fact that she had frantically mentioned the Void Whale during her conversation with Matthew was a potential piece of evidence.

But I can't think about it that much right now.

Matthew realized he had to act now.

Otherwise, Cross City will be reduced to a place of decay!

He soared into the sky on a magic carpet, his brow furrowed at the bleak sight of the city below.

The Blighters are not very destructive.

But the victory is in the number of beasts.

The catastrophe formed by this group of people coming together is a bit like the zombie tide in the previous life.

The difference is.

There is magic in this world!

"I can only kill all these blighters as much as possible......"

Matthew flew around the sky.

I can't think of a good solution.

But just as he was about to make a move, a loud magical alarm suddenly sounded in the northeast corner of Cross City.

The fireworks carrying the logo of the Seven Saints Alliance rose into the sky, and then turned into sparks and fell.

"Disaster warning?"

"Cross City also has Coalition observers?"

Matthew was slightly stunned.

He reluctantly recalled this early warning measure from the Alliance's handbook—a system established by the Seven Holy Alliances to prevent major disasters from occurring in various places and not being dealt with in a timely manner.

It's actually very simple to say that it is a system.

It is to place a relatively small and transparent observer in the major high-risk areas.

Observers usually live a low-key life as ordinary people.

As long as there is no disaster in the region.

It is possible that the observer may not even be known to be a member of the Seven Holy Alliances for the rest of his life.

And once disaster strikes.

After the assessment of observers, it is possible to urgently ask the alliance for help, and depending on the level of the disaster, different degrees of disaster warning warnings will be issued.

What Matthew just saw was an A-level warning.

Generally speaking.

The A-level warning will have a legendary mage come to deal with it.

But right now, the league is too busy.

Matthew is not optimistic about whether the legendary mage will be able to get out.

"All Alliance mages who see the disaster warning must rush to the scene as soon as possible to assemble."

This is the regulation written into the Coalition Handbook.

Matthew had to comply.

Therefore, he lowered the height of the magic carpet, quickly killed several blighted cultists who were chasing the innocents, and flew towards the northeast corner of Cross City at great speed!

Oriental Tower.

The highest place.

Hibbert looked at the chaotic situation below with a solemn expression, his eyes revealing deep concern.

It was the first time since Matthew had met him that the genius mage's face had not been filled with confusion.

And beside him was an old man in a red sleeve and two mages, a man and a woman.

Sure enough.

There are no legends among the mages who gathered the fastest.

"Looks like it's just the four of you."

The old man's skin was dry, and the wrinkles on his face were huddled together:

"I warned the Silver Council a month ago, when they just sent two mages over and pretended to investigate for a while, and the Blight weren't as crazy as they are now, and they weren't far from disaster...... But now, as you can see, the city is in the apocalypse! ”

No need for an observer introduction.

The sight in front of them touched the four mages.

The four of them quickly introduced themselves.

In addition to Matthew and Hibbert, the remaining two are Master Hood from Riptide City and Jade Court and Ran of the Winter Moon.

Matthew glanced at the half-elf mage with a nice face and a vague look like the moonlight goddess Asi.

The latter smiled politely at him.

As for the other mage, Hood.

He looked to be only about 40 years old, with a bare head, but the heaviness of death on his body made Matthew realize that he was probably about to reach his end.

No wonder I've been hiding at home to study the art of immortality before.

"But this time he actually came, could it be that the art of immortality has eyebrows?"

Matthew couldn't help but glance at Hood more.

The bald mage was expressionless.

"Our enemy is not only the Lotus of the Nursery, but also the Blight King behind the Blight Order, who as far as I know, is the reincarnated existence of the weak god of the Tianlun Palace, Ikanos the Ruined;

In addition, there is the Mother of Corruption, who also comes from Tianlun Palace, the Mother of Corruption was a rare deity promoted by the soul of nature in her previous life, and she held the authority of many subdivisions of the earth realm, and was once revered as the "Weaver of All Things Taland". ”

Hood speaks clearly and quickly:

"I don't want to waste my time on these things, but my intelligence network hasn't stopped working."

"As it stands, I suggest that everyone work together to destroy the Mother Lotus, and then join forces to deal with the Blight King and the Mother of Corruption."

Matthew nodded.

He approved of Hood's line of thought.

However, Hibbert raised his hand at this time:

"I have a friend, her name is Felivin, and she's single-handedly going to find the Blight King."

Hood frowned and said:

"Are you sure she can find the true location of the Blight King?"

Hibbert nodded vigorously:

"I'm sure!"

Hood sneered:

"But I'm not sure."

"I can't believe that you academic mages can find the enemy's lair so efficiently."

"Unless you can give me a reason I can't refute."

Hibbert said seriously:

"She just sent me a message asking for help, and she seems to have been captured by the Blight King......"

The rest of the group fell silent.

Hood's facial muscles twitched slightly:

"Well, I really can't argue with that reason - so our mission now becomes to save people?"

"Hehe, you academic sons of heaven can really make people call."

Hibbert scratched his head:

"Otherwise, you stay here to solve the problem, and I'll save Fei Liwen myself."

Hood immediately stopped him with a hand outstretched:

"No, I'll go with you."

The old man said blankly:

"So you don't care what's going on in the city?"

The Winter Moon groaned and said:

"I'll take care of what's happening in the city, but I'll need an assistant to keep this disaster within acceptable limits."

Hood asked dryly:

"You've mastered the Space Closure Technique?"

Ellen nodded.

Hood said decisively:

"Then there's no problem, the silly boy and I will go to find his girlfriend, and you and the handsome boy will stay here to solve the Lotus of the Mother."

"But in the process of our mission, everyone must be careful, behind the Blight Order there are two former righteous gods, the Ruined Icanos holds the power of ruin and withering, his combat ability is very strong, not inferior to the legendary mage, if you meet him, it is best to avoid his edge and win;

Taland, the weaver of all things, is the daughter of the earth, she has an army that can travel quickly underground, and she herself can appear anywhere on the continent at will. ”

"I guess that the Nursery's Lotus in the center of the Cross City was also put by the Mother of Corruption, Taland, when you are looking for its true location, pay attention to the tombs in the Cross City, I remember that Tarander owns the realm of the tomb, and it is very likely that she appeared in a certain tomb in an instant, and then planted the Nursery's Lotus."

"And for the Mother Lotus to have such an impact, it must also need more than one realm to provide nutrients, and I guess its true body must be next to some grave!"

Hood's thinking was very clear.

You can see it.

He has experienced the big world, and his reactions and decisions are quite steady.

Matthew nodded secretly after listening.

After listening to this, Ai Lan added:

"I can use the Spatial Sealing Technique to isolate the approximate area of the Nursery's Lotus's influence, but I'm afraid that the inhabitants of these areas will be hunted down more fiercely by the Blight Cultists."

Hibbert immediately said:

"Then the two of us will stay behind and help move the residents out."

Hood looked at him in surprise:

"Aren't you worried about your girlfriend?"

Hibbert snorted:

"Viliwen is just captured, she has enough self-protection ability, and the Blight King should also know what the Temple Mage means."

"In the short term, she'll be fine."

Hood nodded slowly:

"That's okay, I've mastered the "group shapeshifting", and I can take some people away, what about you?"

Hibbert looked down for a moment, then pulled out a spell book with the words "Mass Shifting" on the cover.

"Wait a minute, I'll learn now."

He said seriously.

Hood couldn't help but open his mouth.

After a while.

He couldn't help but turn his head and ask Matthew:

"Is there anything you'd like to add?"

Matthew shook his head and said:

"It's good for you to decide, I'm a necromancer, and I don't have much experience in disaster relief."

Hood took one look and said, "Okay!" ”。

The crowd went into action immediately.

The Winter Moon flew away from the tower first, to the highest point of the Nursery's Lotus Illusion.

Her dark green eyes swept downward, scurrying down to make a general direction.

Followed by.

She chanted spells from above.

Visions of greenery erupted around her.

Matthew recognized this vision, a covenant between the demigod descendants and the natural realm.

This means that Ai Lan can be blessed by the natural realm when she uses every spell.

Accompanied by Ailan's loud chanting.

High walls rose from all sides—

These high walls are translucent, and when gently stroked, they give a gelatinous touch.

But if you want to force your way through this high wall.

You're going to be subjected to an extremely violent rebound field!

This is the fifth-order energy shaping spell -

"Space Closure Technique"!

Whew!

The wind howled in midair.

Ailan's robes were blown to the sound of hunting.

A terrifying aura of magic fell like a torrential rain.

Her face was slightly pale.

Seeing that this spell was about to be completed, but at this moment, a low laugh came from nowhere:

"No closures here!"

In a flash.

In the center of the Cross City, among the transparent walls that rose from all sides, there was one that suddenly disappeared without a trace.

The remaining three walls of force fields bent rapidly, forming a closure above the heavens.

But the last side is that the door is wide open!

"Someone canceled out my spells, but fortunately only partially canceled them!"

Ai Lan's eyes glowed with a faint green light.

Matthew could feel that she was not in a good state at this time, and the maintenance of the space closure technique consumed too much of her concentration.

The fact that she can still speak has proven that she is strong enough.

Hood's brow furrowed:

"It's indeed 'spell cancellation', I didn't expect there to be mages in the Blight Order!"

"We can't get to where he is for a while, damn it! If it can't be completely blocked, then the meaning of the space closure technique is almost non-existent. ”

At this point Hibbert put down the book:

"I learned."

"Now to transport people?"

Hood just wanted to say something, but Matthew said in time:

"I'll stop the last side."

Hood was slightly stunned:

"How do you block it?"

The next second.

But Matthew came to the street where the fourth wall was originally located.

This was originally the meeting place between the Eagle and Wolverine districts.

The streets were crowded with people at this time.

Matthew walked briskly forward, chanting incantations aloud as he went.

There were a lot of people who rushed to Matthew in a panic.

Some of the Blighters rushed through the crowd.

However, these people did not affect Matthew.

But I saw a flash of white light.

The figures on the street quickly lost a large chunk.

Crowd shifting!

Master Hood sent a large number of people from Matthew's side away.

Hibbert did the same.

The two quickly cast a spell and immediately cleared the street.

A moment later.

A huge crack in negative energy appeared over the street.

The Immortal King Philorius was born with a huge tombstone in his mouth!

Rumble!

The ghost bone dragon and the tombstone fell to the ground and accidentally crashed into a pile of wooden buildings, but fortunately no one was implicated.

The tombstone was successfully landed.

Followed by.

A series of 6 small portals appear next to the tombstone!

After the portal is stabilized.

A dense crowd of figures walked out from behind the door:

Zombies, skeletons, ghosts......

With the help of teleporting tombstones.

Matthew succeeded in summoning the undead who originally inhabited the cemetery from a distance!

This is also a new improvement in his ability to "Tombstone Making" after reaching Tier 4.

He can now make a teleportation tombstone that can be used to summon graveyard units from a very long distance.

Of course.

Compared to ordinary tombstones.

Teleporting a tombstone costs 100 times more!

All of a sudden.

More than 2,000 undead poured into the streets.

Zombies and skeletons are close to each other, lined up, plus Philorius and his three-headed skull dragon.

A wall of the undead took shape.

Under Matthew's control.

This wall worked hard to fit Ai Lan's spatial closure technique, temporarily isolating the area with the largest number of Blighted Cultists!

Inside the region.

A large amount of meat balls constantly fell to the ground.

The blighted cultists formed by these lumps of flesh thrashed the defenses of the undead with no mercy.

But in fact, their combat effectiveness is quite limited.

Especially when Xiao Boiling is in charge himself.

It would be very difficult for any Blight Cultist to get close to the defenses, let alone break through.

Looked at.

Hood showed a look of relief and surprise:

"Are young people nowadays so exaggerated?"

"Either you are learning fifth-order spells now, or you have an immortal king as your junior brother, when did the alliance develop like this?"

Hibbert came to him and asked honestly:

"If I want to separate the Blight cultists from the common people, is there any trick to doing it?"

It seems that he was keenly aware of the difference between Hood and himself when he cast the group shapeshift.

When Hood sends off a group of people, he is often able to throw the Blight back into the lockdown area and the ordinary people to safety.

But Hibbert can only roughly teleport everyone away, and cannot do a detailed discretment of shapeshifts.

When Hood heard this, he wanted to loudly refute the other party's lofty ambitions.

However, Hibbert's expression was too sincere.

So he whispered the trick again.

Hibbert nodded after listening:

"I see."

"I'll try."

The next moment.

The city of the Cross began to light up with white light, symbolizing the transformation of the group.

Hood glanced at it, touched his bald head, and finally couldn't help muttering:

"Is it necessary for me to continue researching the art of immortality?"

And just at this time.

A very large yellow drake appeared on the street.

The monster was a few points taller than Philorius, and overall looked like a giant hedgehog, with terrifying spikes all over its body.

Boom Boom!

The giant hedgehog walked as it fell, dropping leaves downward.

Everywhere it went, all plants withered rapidly.

"Be careful, it's a Blighted Drake!"

Hood couldn't help but remind Matthew loudly.

Right now.

A strong figure rushed straight out of the crowd.

But seeing the minotaur raise the bone blade high, the knife in his hand fell and passed through the withered dragon beast!

The next second.

The latter's body was split in half as if butter had been cut with a knife!

Rumble!

A large number of fallen leaves rolled upside down like a tornado.

The seemingly invincible withered dragon beast quickly turned into a puddle of mud.

Bang!

A large amount of yellow gas spreads.

Gradually.

The whole street was covered with yellow fog, and people couldn't open their eyes.

This yellow mist is obviously extremely corrosive, but fortunately, the undead are not afraid of corrosion.

Matthew initially assembled the defensive line and handed over command to Peggy.

Since awakening the memories of the War Angels, Matthew and Peggy's relationship has also become more equal partners.

After this.

Matthew discovers that Peggy can share some of his own commanding pressure.

Almost all of the more than 2,000 undead in his hands can be handed over to Peggy's command.

This greatly freed up Matthew's space for focus.

so that he can do more.

However, Peggy's command ability can only be described as miserable.

This former war angel doesn't seem to have much experience in war, and his command method is only one word-

Mangal!

If it weren't for Matthew's repeated orders.

I'm afraid she's already charging towards the quarantine zone with all the undead at this point!

The identification of the quarantine zone has already yielded initial results.

Matthew was distracted to help the city's residents.

Although the timely rescue of the four mages compressed the catastrophe of the Lotus of the Nursery into a certain space.

But there was still a spillover of the blighters.

They rampaged through the city.

Inside and outside the quarantine zone, chaos is spreading all the time.

……

Wolverine area.

A middle-aged woman walks out of the house trembling with a little boy in her arms.

She didn't seem to realize what was happening.

Until several of the Blighted Cultists pounced on him with hideous faces.

She hugged the child and tried to run away in a panic.

Right now.

A white light flashed.

She and her children were moved to relative safety, while the blight cultists were nowhere to be found.

The middle-aged woman looked blankly at Hibbert who fell from the sky:

"Y-Who are you?"

"Me, where is my house?"

Hibbert thought for a moment and honestly informed:

"Your home should be gone."

The woman was stunned and immediately began to cry.

The child didn't know what to do, and he also started crying.

The cries of the two immediately attracted the attention of many people.

The woman cried and said:

"I want my home, I want home!"

Hibbert let out an "oh".

Another flash of white light.

The woman found her alone and returned home -

At this time, it had been torn down to rubble by a group of rampaging blighters.

Seeing her go and come back.

The Blighters pounced again.

"Master Mage, help me!"

Such a voice came from the ruins.

However, Hibbert did not hear it.

He's busy trying to save the others.

……

"Death Blaster"!

Large expanses of negative energy washed the withered cultists above the ruins like a rain wiper.

The latter fell to the ground like an ear of wheat.

The corpse turned into a flesh sludge, and the flesh turned into a blood stain that quickly dissipated and disappeared.

Ah Bing walked briskly over the nibbled woman who was being picked up from the rubble.

Matthew threw her a minor injury from afar, and took out a handful of leaves from his bag.

A powerful surge of natural energy poured into her body, and the wounds on the woman's body began to heal at a speed visible to the naked eye.

But she was badly injured.

Whether or not you can survive depends on luck.

"Send her to the safety outside, to the little boy you just had, and you should be able to find her."

Matthew commanded quickly.

The soldiers were far away.

He couldn't help but shake his head, and muttered in his heart:

"Hibbert can't have done it on purpose."

But he didn't think much of it.

and hurriedly filled in the gaps for Hibert.

With the efforts of three mages.

A large number of civilians were temporarily out of danger.

The rest is on their own.

Not much.

Hood came over to say hello and informed him that after a short rest with Hibbert, he was going to the Helen Mountains to rescue Felivan.

"The situation in Cross City is dominated by control, you have to be careful of the mage who is hiding in the shadows."

He admonished:

"The Silver Council should have received a warning of disaster, they will send someone over, but it will take a little time."

"Remember, don't be reckless, save your life, you are the future of the alliance!"

said.

He patted Matthew on the shoulder, and then went to Hibbert, and the two of them left Cross City together.

Matthew watched them leave.

He had a good impression of Hood, and it seemed that this registered mage from Riptide City was not really a corpse vegetarian either.

With his help.

The catastrophe of the Cross City was indeed contained within certain limits.

"Although there is a bit of chaos outside, as long as the quarantine area is well controlled, the overall casualties will definitely drop significantly."

Think so.

Matthew hurried back to the Avenue of the Undead.

At this time, the intensity of the battle on the street was already several times higher than before.

He saw a large number of Blighters gathered here.

They tried to form all sorts of phalanxes to storm the Wall of the Undead!

There are simply too many enemies.

Xiao Boiling and Peggy are both a little busy.

Seeing this, Matthew hurriedly made a move.

He rode the Red Flame Nightmare down the street, his pale hand sweeping across it like a broom.

In a flash.

Crazy jump kill numbers on the data bar!

A trip down the run.

Matthew killed more than 200 Blightculters!

At the current rate.

He believed that he would be able to complete the requirements of the new wilderness form today—

That's to kill 1,000 Blighters!

"Next, as long as you kill the Blight King again, you can have a new wilderness form!"

Think of it.

Matthew couldn't help but feel a little excited.

That's a silver dragon!

However, he didn't wait to think about it.

A low whimper came from the depths of the quarantine zone.

It was as if a group of people were sobbing quietly.

Followed by.

The yellow mist that had been permeating the streets suddenly turned green!

Matthew's exposed skin suddenly felt a burning pain.

"Toxins? Pestilence? ”

Matthew felt a wave of evil that far surpassed Zeshui City!

……

"Warning: The Lotus of the Broodmother has unleashed the power of the realm.

The vicinity of the Cross City will be a zone of poison and plague!"

……

Feel the increasingly thick poisonous gases and plague clouds on the streets.

Matthew opened the plague realm with a serious face.

He hesitated.

In the end, the choice was made.

……

"Hint: Is the limited-time status "Plagued" from the Plague Realm activated?

Sickness: Over the next 60 days, you can get infected with diseases, plagues, and even toxins to stimulate your physical growth."

……
