A Necromancer Who Just Wants to Plant Trees

Chapter 1629: 448 clues of the Rootless River_2

Matthew had previously thought this spell was utterly useless.

But this time,

he unexpectedly felt a kind of power that was stirred from within his heart.

It was that very power that made him more at peace, incidentally healing some minor psychological wounds in the process.

“The mind has power, just like faith has power.”

“Spellcasters neglect their inner selves, fail to grasp psionic power, and only scratch the surface of the spiritual world through illusions and divine spells, which is somewhat regrettable…”

Matthew thought to himself quietly.

In the data panel,

…

“Alert: You have withstood the slight backlash from the Tauren Sovereign Authority.

Your control over the Tauren Domain and related authorities has deepened!

You have successfully transformed a legendary powerhouse into your slave, and with further elements coming into play, your Tauren Authority has gained the following enhancements—

1. Immobilization: The effects of all your immobilization spells or abilities increase by 50%;

all control spells or abilities increase by 20%.

2. Domain Piercing: The speed and depth of the Tauren Domain’s penetration into other domains have significantly improved.

3. Resolute Will: Your ability to resist the invasion of your domain by others has increased dramatically.

Alert: The Tauren Sovereign Authority has resonated strongly with your domain of the soul.

You have acquired the derivative power ‘Soul Pulse’!

Soul Pulse: Creates a vortex of negative energy targeting the soul, after which the center of the vortex emits three rounds of pulse ripples outward.

Units hit by the pulse ripples will have a portion of their souls sucked into the center’s magic ball, with more soul quantity being absorbed the more pulse ripples they encounter.

The magic ball will exist briefly for 30~180 seconds.

During this period, you can choose between two actions—

1. Detonate the magic ball: All units whose souls have been absorbed will suffer different degrees of soul trauma, and for the following period, their souls will endure a ‘Susceptible’ effect.

Meaning, when you use abilities or spells like ‘Soul Siphon, Spiritual Pierce, Bone Shattering Lament,’ their souls will take an additional 50% damage.

Used in conjunction with the authority of the soul domain, this will produce an even stronger effect.

2. Banish the magic ball: You can exile the magic ball to any range visible to the naked eye, forcing all units to move towards the location of the magic ball for some distance. Afterward, they must quickly approach the magic ball to reclaim their souls, or else they will suffer consequences equivalent to ‘Detonate the magic ball.’

Warning: Your domain of the soul has experienced a slight shrinkage and collapse, with a portion of it now occupied by the Tauren Domain.

Warning: Your Tauren Authority is invading more domains!”

…

“Soul Pulse is a good ability.”

“But the Tauren Domain seems to be getting more and more domineering.”

Through his Insight,

Matthew could see his own Tauren Domain now resembling a deeply rooted ancient tree, its root system firmly embedded in other domains, with a tendency to spread in all directions.

Thanks to this,

the authority of the Lord of the Tauren was also penetrating everywhere.

All elements within the domains were slowly converging toward the Tauren Domain.

This was actually not a good sign!

Because conversely, the Equilibrium Domain which underlies all domains, seemed rather too weak.

At least in the face of the Tauren Domain,

equilibrium didn’t count for much!

“My domain system is out of balance…”

Matthew realized the seriousness of the situation.

Mainly because he hadn’t anticipated the Tauren Domain would develop so quickly!

Thankfully,

this domain was currently monopolized by him alone.

Even if signs of imbalance appeared, as the master of the domain he could still more easily recover control of the authority and exempt the backlash.

But from a long-term perspective,

this would always be a hidden danger.

“It’s not a problem for the Tauren Domain to preside over the framework of all domains,”

“As of today, this domain has nothing to do with ‘Tauren’; it is the king of domains infused with my will.”

“The only thing that needs to be resolved is the issue of excessive penetration, as the lack of a sufficient counterbalance makes it difficult to support other domains to contend with it, which is also detrimental to my own future development.”

Matthew’s thoughts raced.

The best solution was still to continue strengthening the Equilibrium Domain, thereby driving other domains to resist the invasion from the Tauren Domain.

This resistance wasn’t absolute, but rather a half-hearted, seemingly elusive battle.

It could promote the joint advancement of all domains to a certain extent.

But improving the Equilibrium Domain wasn’t easy.

Matthew had reached a bottleneck in writing the balanced contracts.

To make further progress,

the most straightforward and simple method was still to raise the level of the Envoy of Equilibrium.

To achieve this,

The Distorted Book of Equalization in Sener’s possession was indispensable.

The mere thought of dealing with Sener gave Matthew a headache.

The man truly had no credibility, but the only good news was that he’d been injured by Matthew.

This showed that even the Legendary Rogue had significant limitations.

If handled properly,

Matthew still had the chance to get the book from him.

Amidst his thoughts,

Matthew quickly returned to the Beholder Sword Saint’s side to check.

The Sword Master was unharmed.

At the same time,

He was surrounded by an extremely rich power of the phase—

The power of the phase that spilled out due to Tyrese’s swordplay seemed, to have all been absorbed by the Beholder Sword Saint.
