Chapter 533: The Master-Killing Blade
……

Monster.

As far as Matthew knew, this was the Eastern Continent's nickname for high-level nature souls that possessed a certain influence.

Often only the top nature souls in a region are qualified to be considered spirits.

For example, Sylvia, the singer in the clouds, Suya, the lord of the rainforest, and the former ruler of the earth's dream, the lazy bear, and so on.

Moreover, this kind of nature soul usually lives in the natural dreamland.

Mrs. Wolf dares to call herself a spirit.

Then she must have a natural dream -

At least I once had.

"No wonder the good feelings I had earlier came out of nowhere. It turns out to be a high-level nature soul..."

Matthew became more interested in Mrs. Wolf.

However, what he cared more about was the great astrologer that the other party mentioned.

Throughout history, there have been many famous astrologers in the Eastern Continent, but only a few can be called great astrologers.

Matthew couldn't help asking:

"Is your teacher's name Su Xu?"

Great astrologer Su Xu.

Not only is he a fierce man who sealed the Dragon Soul, he is also suspected to be involved in the construction of the Cybertron Core Hub Compatible Wormhole.

He left his footprints in many places in Aindo.

For example, the flow island.

For example, the Gray Lake under the Scar of the Dead.

Matthew was naturally full of admiration and curiosity about this powerful astrologer.

He vaguely felt that this person had a great relationship with the profession of the Messenger of Balance.

"Maybe that's the name?"

A hint of uncertainty flashed across Mrs. Wolf's furry and slightly childish face:

"He rarely revealed his name. Others usually only used honorifics, and when he walked in Purgatory, he often used a pseudonym."

"I'm sorry, I was just conscious at that time, so I had a very shallow impression of the teacher..."

"I only know that he is very powerful. Even someone as powerful as the Lord of Purgatory is no match for him."

Matthew nodded slightly.

"You mean, your teacher brought you to Purgatory?"

"What does he want to do?"

"Or, what has he done here?"

he asked.

Mrs. Wolf replied:

"He didn't do anything."

"After entering Purgatory, he defeated several big demons that got in the way, and then brought me to a place where we settled for a long time."

"During that time, my consciousness was developing rapidly and my curiosity was growing. I noticed that he was looking for something, so I took the opportunity to ask him."

"He told me he was looking for a suitable place for me to settle down."

"I didn't quite understand what he said at the time, so I didn't ask any further questions."

"Later, somehow, he used the power of the stars and the terrain to forcibly create a blank and unique natural dreamland in Purgatory."

"That dream contained three stone forests, a starlight lake, and a secret island."

"The teacher told me that he needed me to live in that new dream to protect something very important."

"He didn't tell me what that thing was, but he told me that I would know it when the time came."

"He taught me a secret method that can transform one's own state into a devil's, so as to avoid being targeted by those with ulterior motives."

"After that, I fell into a deep sleep. When I woke up, the teacher had left. I was the only one in my new dream. I spent an unknown amount of time in boredom."

"Until one day, a seriously injured great inferior demon accidentally broke into my territory..."

Speaking of it.

She sighed deeply:

"He is the current Phantom Baron. He was indeed seriously injured at the time, but the appearance of a lemure was just a disguise."

"Because I was too bored, I saved his life. Although I immediately drove him out of the natural dream, since then, I couldn't help but leave the dream from time to time."

"I became even more unable to bear the loneliness, and started to interact with the shadow demon more frequently."

"I was unknowingly contaminated by the will of the Blood River. Gradually, the time I spent as a devil became longer and longer, while the time I spent as a natural soul became shorter and shorter."

"Finally one day..."

"I find that I can no longer easily transform back into a nature spirit."

"I must pay a great price and go through another atonement ritual to wash away the aura of purgatory from me before I can return to my territory."

"If I had turned back in time, maybe I wouldn't have ended up like this."

"pity……"

"I am finally bewildered."

The subsequent story has already been briefly mentioned by Mrs. Wolf.

Maybe she fell in love with the shadow demon, and then used her abilities to help him overthrow the rule of the Phantom Baron who lived on the upper part of Fufeng Slope, but in the end she was betrayed and imprisoned.

Due to the great astrologer's reputation.

The Phantom Baron did not kill the Wolf Lady, but chose to imprison her.

This is consistent with the devil's cunning personality.

Matthew thought for a while:
"Then where is the natural dreamland you were in before?"

"What are your plans after you leave here?"

Mrs. Wolf answered without thinking:
"The Stone Forest Dreamland is located in the west of the Shadow Rift, in a narrow gap near the Air Element Road."

"I still have some connection with that dream, so it should be safe there."

"If possible, I plan to hold a transformation ceremony to wash away the aura of purgatory on myself and return to the dream world. This time I will definitely follow the teacher's instructions and not go out casually."

"But the Phantom Baron left several seals on me. These seals were completed in the form of contracts. If I want to change my own form, I have to find a way to get those contracts from the Baron."

"Also, I wasn't that weak originally. I had some power, but that power was stolen by the Phantom Baron. Only by breaking those contracts can I regain the power of the spirits..."

Say it.

She looked at Matthew eagerly.

Matthew pondered for a moment, then shook his head:

"Sorry, I don't have time to help you deal with the Phantom Baron right now."

"We have more important things to do."

"I can let you leave, but your safety from now on will depend on you."

Matthew could tell that what Mrs. Wolf said was true.

He didn't mind letting the other person go.

But there is no way to create complications at this critical juncture.

Hear this.

Mrs. Wolf looked a little disappointed, her cheeks puffed up for a moment, but soon calmed down.

She said seriously:
"I still want to thank you, at least you have restored my freedom."

"I wish I could give you something in return... Um, is there anything you need?"

Matthew's heart moved:
"Do you know if there is a shortcut to reach Fufeng Slope?"

Mrs. Wolf thought for a few seconds and shook her head:

"There are no shortcuts to Fufeng Slope."

"In theory, there are only two ways to reach the Shadow Rift. One of them is the front road you just walked on."

"Sanchester told me that the Shadow Demon Clan's army has been mobilized on a large scale. In the next few days, more than 100,000 Shadow Demon Clan members will pass through the Fufeng Slope from top to bottom and head to a place in Baator Purgatory to prepare for war."

“So it’s very troublesome to walk straight ahead. I believe you have experienced this.”

"Another way is to climb up through the rock belt on the side, but this is also very dangerous."

“There are a lot of wind demons living on the cliffs here, and they may attack climbers at any time.

What's worse is that the effect of spells has been greatly weakened here. You can't use spells to fly up or assist in climbing.

In such harsh conditions.

If you want to climb up the Fufeng Slope from the side, you must have a strong physical reserve and extremely high climbing skills, and a little bit of luck..." "I heard that under the cliff on the side of the Fufeng Slope, there is a wind tunnel that leads directly to the seventh level of purgatory, the "Flying Insect Island."

"If you accidentally fall down and can't find a stable fulcrum in time, you are likely to fall all the way to the Flying Insect Island!"

"That is a very terrifying plane, much more terrifying than the upper three levels of purgatory. That is the real purgatory!"

Matthew nodded slightly.

The information provided by Mrs. Wolf is quite important.

Now it seems that walking forward is indeed no longer a good option. As for the side...

“It’s not impossible.”

A flash of inspiration came to Matthew's mind.

Mrs. Wolf seemed a little embarrassed because she felt that she was not of much help.

She moved closer, and her furry hair accidentally rubbed Matthew's arm a few times, making him feel a little itchy:
"Do you need anything else?"

"By the way, you can take anything in this house. I only want a few things."

Upon hearing this, Matthew looked at the East Continent-style ornaments in the room:
"Are these things left behind by that great astrologer?"

Mrs. Wolf shook her head:
"No, I collected these from tieflings who were doing business. If you are interested, just take them."

"As for the things that the teacher left behind, they are all hidden in my dreamland. If you want to visit them, you have to wait until I restore the form of the soul of nature..."

Upon hearing this, Matthew picked up a few ornaments from the house and left.

Although these items were not left by the great astrologer himself, they were indeed in the style of the Su Kingdom, and he found them quite pleasing to the eye.

Mrs. Wolf also quickly cleaned up.

Not long after.

Matthew came to the courtyard and met the others.

At this time, Roland and the black merchant Charles had turned the rest of the house upside down and looted most of the valuable things.

Carmela had no interest in these things, and Sandrine followed her out of habit. She seemed to have completely adapted to her new identity and was very well-behaved, without any of the hostility of an angry dragon girl.

"The old witch is a poor fellow, and the scorpion guards are even less profitable. This castle - let's call it a castle - has no more than three valuable things in it, but I think you will be interested in these two."

While talking.

Roland first threw a stack of blood-stained parchment over.

As soon as Matthew picked it up, he knew it was a magic book, or a magic notebook.

Because it is filled with an extremely strong scent of ether, as well as traces of blasphemous words unique to Purgatory.

He took a quick glance and found that it recorded an unpopular spell, and it was from the realm of the dead!
……

"Master's Blade (Necromancy & Negative Energy): You chant a spell to animate and bewitch the target's weapon, causing it to launch a lethal attack on the target until one of the two is completely destroyed or killed.

If the weapon succeeds in killing its master.

Then you will gain some extra mana."

……

"Weapon version of subversion?"

Matthew's eyes lit up.

This spell is extremely weird and can only be mastered by someone who is proficient in the realm of the dead. It is almost tailor-made for him!

Although in theory this spell can only be driven by blasphemous words.

But with Matthew's current ability in spell analysis and theoretical construction, he only needs to deconstruct the blasphemous words on the parchment, and it won't be long before he can get a spell version of the Master's Blade!

"interesting."

He accepted the parchment without hesitation.

Then Loran handed over a dirty wooden sign, which, like the parchment, had turned black from the blood stains on it.

Lorraine told him.

Both of these items were found on the witch who was responsible for brainwashing.

The witch herself is an old hag.

Her spellcasting ability was very strong and her level was not low, but unfortunately she met Carmela who was more skilled than her, and that's why she ended up with hatred.

Matthew looked at the wooden sign again and again.

It soon became clear why Roland said he would be interested in it.

"This is a withered black card from a certain old hag clan. It is a symbol of identity for clan members."

"This old hag is not a lone wolf. She has an organization. The reason she was sent here is probably because the organization that Withered Black Card belongs to is cooperating with Phantom Baron."

"Most importantly, I remember that those old witches in Rolling Stone Town also have a close connection with this organization."

Lorraine added slowly.

Matthew nodded:

"Ghost Castle."

After the Great Rip.

Matthew once took some time to check out the situation in the Ghost Castle. Due to time constraints, he only took a walk around the periphery and then set up a circle of magic barriers around the Ghost Castle for early warning and defense.

At that time, he sensed a slight breath of purgatory from the outskirts of the Ghost Castle.

But I didn’t expect that the castle was really related to Purgatory!
"Those old witches might have spilled over from a certain devil clan nearby."

Matthew looked towards Mrs. Wolf.

The latter pondered:

"Black Swamp."

"There is indeed a tribe of old witches nearby. Their leader is crazy and is said to be carrying out a secret plan. Except for the witches, other demons are not allowed to enter that special swamp."

"I don't know any more details, but I know that the two previous Phantom Barons were very respectful to the old hag—irrational respect."

Matthew kept a watchful eye on this.

Then the group planned to leave.

but.

The crisis here has not yet been completely resolved.

"There are six scorpion guards outside. They are much more vigilant than the six inside. Should we go around from the back?"

Near the gate.

Mrs. Wolf suggested worriedly.

Matthew smiled and shook his head, then swaggered out first.

As soon as I left the house.

The six scorpion guards suddenly surrounded them.

They moved as fast as the wind and held their weapons high in the air.

Under Mrs. Wolf's slightly nervous gaze.

Matthew looked like he wasn't going to do anything.

Just a short burst of syllables.

All the scorpion guards within his field of vision were glowing with a strange gray-white luster!
A white light flashed quickly across the face of the scorpion guard.

It makes their faces look even more hideous.

For an instant.

Four of the scorpion guards had a blue-gray color on their faces, symbolizing death, and then they fell to the ground with their limbs stiff!
The other two scorpion guards struggled and rushed to Matthew.

However, Matthew just blew gently.

The two scorpion guards seemed to have their last straw taken away and fell down in a mess!

"Law, law orders death?"

Mrs. Wolf almost jumped up in surprise.

Matthew closed his eyes for a few seconds, and after retracting the spell's effect, he turned around with a smile:

"By the way, Mrs. Wolf."

"I forgot to introduce myself. My name is Matthew, and I'm a necromancer."

Mrs. Wolf was so frightened that she couldn't close her mouth.

half an hour.

She then said hesitantly:

"Just call me Little Wolf."
