The mace aside, Soul Cage was an ability that was at least at the 4th tier!
Matthew took a closer look.” Stealing Life ” could be used to suck a large amount of blood.
[Soul Torture] was a type of interrogation that involved torturing the soul.
[Stealing Experience] referred to obtaining an ability from the captured soul in a short period of time.
” Will Humiliation ” could reduce the opponent’s resistance, and it was best used to deal with weak enemies.
Finally, the ” Eye of the Dead ” could enter a coordinate in the depths of the other party’s memory, and then check the situation around the coordinate, making it easier to trace clues.
More importantly, these options were not single-choice and could be used repeatedly.
As long as the target’s soul is imprisoned in the cage, Matthew could cast 6 different abilities on the soul.
” This is more like the ability of a Necromancer than an Evil Art Master. Perhaps the God of Midnight has also mastered a small amount of Death Domain.”
Matthew thought.
The Goddess of Moonlight had mentioned that the number of Evil Art Masters on the Aindor Continent would increase.
With reference to the God of Midnight’s situation, it was not difficult to know that many gods who hated the Calamity Mage would probably create evil avatars in the outer plane and bypass the restrictions of the Heavenly Palace with the identity of the evil art sect master, thus indirectly gaining influence in the mortal world.
In that case, many new Evil Art Masters were actually priests of orthodox gods!
Their abilities had also started to leave the traditional Evil Art Master’s category, and their styles became strange.
Matthew realized that he must not have a preconceived notion of an Evil Art Master in the future, or else he might die a horrible death!
Other than its advantages.
The cost of activating the Soul Cage was quite high.
A total of 100 gold coins!
With Matthew’s current wealth, he would, at most, have one Heart-connecting Stone in reserve. He could not afford more.
“Back then, Anderson did not use this ability. On the one hand, it might be because the conditions were not sufficient, and on the other hand, it might be because he did not have the ‘Heart-connecting Stone’ on him.
“It is said that the casting materials required for many high-level abilities are very expensive. Many times, high-level Spell Casters do not die from insufficient combat strength but from poverty!
‘When I complete my advancement, I must find a way to make a fortune!” Thinking of this, Matthew closed the documents and lay down to rest.
Even though they were close to the city, it was still not safe to camp in the wild, so Matthew slept very lightly. However, the night was surprisingly peaceful.
The next day, the convoy set off smoothly. In the evening, the group arrived at Marsh Water City.
Matthew and the convoy parted ways at the city gate.
Therefore, this place was also known as the City of Ten Thousand Gates.
Most of the residents here were humans, mixed-blood Jangos, Orcs, and half-orcs. Occasionally, there were traces of Su and sea elves.
When they passed by the fourth stone door.
Matthew bumped into a group of people who were coughing crazily.
They looked sallow and emaciated, and their eyes were out of focus, but for some reason, they were still walking aimlessly on the street in a layer of grass woven from reeds.
As they walked, they coughed violently.
When the patrolling guards saw them, they did not dare to stop them. They only reprimanded them from afar and quickly avoided them.
Seeing this, Matthew put on his mask and waited in the alley for a while. He waited until the group of coughing people left before he quickly walked past them.
Twenty minutes later.
Matthew arrived at the Jungle Dance Inn between the 11th and 12th stone doors.
This was the place that Li Weiqi strongly recommended.
It was said that not only was the fee low, but if you really didn’t have money, the hotel owner would also allow you to work in the hotel to pay off your debts.
Matthew wasn’t that cheap.
He only trusted Li Weiqi. Not to mention this hotel provided a guide service.
After brushing shoulders with the group of coughing marchers.
He only wanted to find a guide as soon as possible and leave this place!
That night, he settled into the Jungle Dance and chatted with the half-orc inn boss named Trogg for a while.
When the latter learned that Matthew needed a guide to cross the rainforest, he patted his chest and promised that he would bring him the best guide in Marsh City the next day.
Matthew heaved a sigh of relief.
Seeing that there were many people coughing in the hall, he declined the enthusiastic invitation of the boss to eat in the hall and ate something alone in the room on the second floor.
The weather in Marsh Water City was hot and humid, and Matthew had no appetite at all. However, for the sake of the rest of the journey, he still tried his best to eat a little.
Night fell.
Violent coughs came from the rooms next door.
Upstairs, a group of men and women were enjoying their lives.
When he pushed open the window, a wave of heavy smoke surged up. Matthew looked down and saw that someone was burning a plant that looked like wormwood in the courtyard on the first floor. The person was muttering as he burned. Beside the fire, there were several people lying on reed mats whose fate was unknown.
Matthew hurriedly closed the doors and windows and forced himself to sleep.
“Why would Li Weiqi recommend this place? He didn’t even say that there were sick patients everywhere.”
He covered his head with a pillow and smiled bitterly in his heart.
“Find a guide tomorrow and leave immediately. I can’t stay in this place for another minute!”
The next morning.
There was a crackling sound coming from the hotel toilet.
A moment later.
Matthew walked out with a pale face, clutching his stomach.
“Tsk, this is the sixth time.”
He endured the dull pain in his lower abdomen, and his forehead and eyelashes were covered in bean-sized sweat.
[Warning: You have entered the domain of the Plague King. You are infected with a fever. Current symptoms are fever, diarrhoea, coughing…]
“When did I fall for it?”
When Matthew sat on the toilet bowl for the seventh time, he began to doubt his life.
At this moment, he was sweating profusely, as if there were ants crawling in his lungs. The turbid stench in the toilet reminded him of the long night he had had.
if it weren’t for his extraordinary tenacity.
Matthew would be exhausted by now.
“Looks like I have to ask the shop owner to buy the holy water for me.” He rubbed his lower abdomen and frowned, preparing to face the eighth attack.
At this moment, Ella’s voice came from outside the door.
“Matthew, Matthew, are you ready to go?” The bathroom door was pushed open.
Ella screamed and flapped her wings to fly away.
“Matthew, did you blow up the toilet?”
Matthew said wearily, “It’s a fever. I’ve been infected with a fever. Find the innkeeper and ask him to buy me a portion of holy water for purification.”
The door opened for a while.
Ella carefully appeared in front of Matthew.
As a Nature Soul, Ella spent the night in the Moonlight Woodlands.
Seeing Matthew’s miserable appearance, Miss Owl suddenly showed a sympathetic expression. “Why didn’t you say so earlier?”
Matthew looked at her in surprise.
“Don’t underestimate the Nature Soul. I’m the one the goddess favours the most!”
As she spoke, her chest puffed up, and a white light merged into Matthew’s body.
[Hint: Ella has used Intermediate Dispel on you.]
Dispel failed!
Ella did not believe it and tried twice in a row, but she still failed.
“A plague that even Intermediate Dispel can’t drive away?” she asked seriously. “Matthew, someone is spreading and controlling it in the dark. I smell the power of a domain!”
Matthew nodded lightly.
Plague King.
He had never heard of this name before, but anyone who dared to have such a name was most likely a ruthless person.
As expected, Marsh Water City was not a good place.
However, he did not have the capital to cause trouble now.
“I’ll try Advanced Dispel.” Ella hesitated for a while before saying, “But after using this ability, my mental state will be very bad for the next ten days. I… I might have to lie in your arms!”
Matthew nodded with difficulty.
[Prompt: Ella has used Advanced Dispel on you.]
Dispel successful!
You have been freed from the plague. Please replenish your water and energy in time.
Due to a night of diarrhoea, cough, and fever, you have obtained the following elements of the Plague Domain: Infected, sick, immune, and healed. Accumulate more elements, and you will have the opportunity to enter the plague domain!
A moment later.
Matthew straightened his back and walked out of the toilet, looking completely different!
“Matthew, I can’t take it anymore!”
Ella fell into his arms.
Matthew caught her steadily and thanked her. Then, he packed his luggage and walked downstairs.
“Like Undying, Plague is the sub-domain of Death. If there’s a chance, I must conquer it!”
Matthew silently memorized the name of the Plague King in his heart.
When he turned the corner, he heard someone crying downstairs. He looked out and saw that it was the person who burned the wormwood in the backyard last night.
Matthew saw the person burst into tears hugging the reed mat.
As for the people beside him, their eyes were closed, and their faces were pale. They had completely lost their vitality.
The flames in the brazier had long been extinguished, leaving only dark red embers.
Matthew took a deep look at him and quickly went downstairs.
