A Necromancer Who Just Wants to Plant Trees - Chapter 741
Chapter 741: Disaster Warning
Translator: Lonelytree
Cross City was in chaos.
The meatballs that spurted out of the Mother Lotus bounced twice before they grew limbs and heads, turning into a witherer with sallow skin that looked like a wild beast.
These Withered Disciples attacked anyone they saw.
Their attack methods were also quite primitive. They only used their claws and teeth to tear apart everything in front of them.
Some of the Withered Disciples couldn’t even tell the difference between living and dead. After landing, they grabbed a huge door and gnawed on it crazily.
The people witnessed this scene and caused extreme panic.
No one knew if they would be hurt by the Withered Disciples.
Every household closed their doors in panic and used all kinds of simple props to strengthen their doors and windows.
Those who didn’t have time to go home or were simply homeless were miserable.
They ran helplessly on the streets or open spaces, miserably avoiding the attacks of the Withered Disciples.
The Withered Believer didn’t run fast.
But there were too many of them.
At first, the homeless could easily shake off these beast-like cultists with their agility and speed.
However, as time passed.
More and more Withered Disciples gathered on the road.
If the homeless who were running away were careless, they might die.
These man-eating beasts would not let go of any delicious living body.
Cross City had turned into a living hell.
A tragic scene was quickly unfolding.
” I don’t know what triggered their impromptu action, but these lunatics aren’t as crazy as they seem. Every step they take has a deeper meaning.”
Outside Cross City.
Mary Joshua quickly said to Matthew,
“You should be able to tell that the Mother Lotus was actually an illusion, right?
” Its true body is hidden deep underground, providing support for the actions of the Cult of Withering. If we don’t get rid of the real Lotus of the Mother, the Cult of Withering won’t stop.
” You have to contact those two Legendary mages as soon as possible. Our time is being compressed very quickly.
” By the way, be careful of those Withered Disciples. They might be poisonous.”
After saying this.
She ordered most of the believers of the calamity to retreat to the underground stronghold.
She then led a group of elites to the buildings of the Order of Calamity in the city.
Matthew quietly parted ways with her.
This was the tacit understanding between him and Mary Joshua.
Things had come to this.
He couldn’t continue to stay in the Church as a spy, as that might expose Zangula’s existence.
Although there was a high chance that Mary Joshua knew about the infiltration of this human hero.
Previously, when she was talking to Matthew, she crazily mentioned the Void Whale, which was potential evidence.
However, he couldn’t think too much about it now.
Matthew realized that he had to take action immediately.
Otherwise, Cross City would definitely become a rotten place!
He rode the magic carpet and soared into the sky. The miserable scene in the city below made him frown.
The destructive power of the Withered Disciples was not strong.
However, they had the advantage in numbers and were like wild beasts.
The disaster caused by this group of people gathered together was a little like the zombie tide in his previous life.
The only difference was…
There was still magic in this world!
“I can only try my best to kill all these Withered Disciples…”
Matthew flew around in the sky.
He didn’t think of a good solution.
However, just as he was about to make his move, a loud magic alarm suddenly sounded in the northeast corner of Cross City.
The fireworks carrying the symbol of the Seven Saint Alliance soared into the sky, then turned into sparks and fell down.
“Disaster warning?
” Cross City also has an observer from the Alliance?”
Matthew was slightly stunned.
He could barely recall this warning measure from the Alliance handbook. This was a system established by the Seven Saint Alliance to prevent major disasters from happening in various places and not being dealt with in time.
The system was actually very simple.
It was to place a relatively small and transparent observer in each high-risk area.
The observers usually lived a low-key life as ordinary people.
As long as there was no disaster in the area.
That observer might not even be known to be a member of the Alliance of Seven Saints for the rest of his life.
Once a disaster occurred.
After the observer’s assessment, they could ask the Alliance for emergency help. According to the level of the disaster, they would issue different levels of disaster warnings.
What Matthew had just seen was an A-level warning.
Generally speaking.
An A-level warning would be handled by a Legendary mage.
But the Alliance was too busy.
Matthew wasn’t optimistic about whether the Legendary mage would be able to leave.
” All Alliance Mages who see the disaster warning must rush to the scene immediately and gather.”
This was a rule written in the Alliance Manual.
Matthew had no choice but to comply.
Therefore, he lowered the height of the magic carpet and quickly killed a few of the Withered Disciples who were chasing after the innocent. Then, he flew towards the northeast corner of Cross City at an extremely fast speed!
East Tower.
At the highest point.
Hibbert looked at the chaotic situation below with a grave expression, his eyes revealing deep worry.
This was the first time since Matthew met him that this genius mage’s face was not filled with confusion.
Beside him was an old man wearing a red sleeve and two mages, a man and a woman.
As expected.
There were no Legends among the mages who had gathered the fastest.
“Looks like it’s the four of you.”
The old man’s skin was very dry, and the wrinkles on his face were squeezed together.
” I warned the Silver Council a month ago. At that time, they only sent two mages over to pretend to investigate for a while. At that time, the Witherers weren’t as crazy as they are now. They were far from the level of a disaster…But now, as you can see, this city has fallen into doomsday!”
