Chapter 1905: 534 Gale Will and the Summoning Banner

…

They quickly dealt with the aftermath at Mrs. Wolf’s castle.

A group of people arrived at the platform on the side of Wind-Supporting Slope.

Standing on the edge of the platform, they looked up.

The side of the cliff looked as if it had been fiercely sliced by a blade from the heavens, with most of the cliff face as neat and smooth as a flawless mirror, save for the occasional uneven rocks or nests.

“Those are the nests where the Wind Demons live.”

Char explained.

Matthew nodded slightly.

On Wind-Supporting Slope, the Wind Demons were an extremely Transcendent creature.

On one hand, they were a type of demon and part of demon society.

Quite a few Wind Demons were willing to leave their groups to serve the various Devil Lords nearby.

Thanks to their talent for disappearing without a trace and their adept control over fierce winds, the Wind Demons could remain composed even when facing much stronger opponents.

If they couldn’t beat them,

at least they still had the chance to escape.

On the other hand, Wind-Supporting Slope was the “sacred land” of the Purgatory Wind Demons.

It was said that the Wind Demon Ancestor rested within the cliffs.

Inside the cliff, he had built a resplendent tomb chamber, and to prevent grave robbers, the Wind Demon Ancestor had set up a series of powerful ceremonial fields there.

One of these Ritual sites held the secret of the Wind Demons’ advancement.

And to gain the recognition of this ceremonial field, one must protect the tomb chamber of the Wind Demon Ancestor.

Therefore,

the Wind Demon Lords from various parts of Nine Tier Purgatory reached an agreement.

They would take turns guarding this place, fulfilling their protective duties on the one hand, and on the other, they could seize the opportunity to closely study the Ritual site imbued with Wind’s Profound Meaning.

When the Wind Demon Lords arrived,

their spouses, subordinates, followers, and minions naturally went without saying.

Therefore, a large number of Wind Demons were active in Wind-Supporting Slope throughout the year.

Since the Wind Demon Lords guarding this place would rotate regularly, the number of Wind Demons here always remained at an extremely high level.

From the platform, Matthew glanced upward and spotted at least six or seven Wind Demon Nests.

According to Char,

each nest roughly contained 8 to 20 Wind Demons.

“Such a dense distribution…”

“Is indeed a bit exaggerated.”

Matthew couldn’t help but stroke his chin.

With the effects of spells weakened, the idea of stealthily climbing past the Wind Demon Nests was a fool’s dream–

even if you used a powerful invisibility spell.

But Wind Demons had an uncanny insight into changes in airflows and unfamiliar scents.

Considering the density of the Wind Demons on the cliff,

as soon as an elite Wind Demon spotted an intruder, the latter would basically face all the demons on the cliff!

Considering the incredibly high difficulty of combat in this particular terrain,

most people gave up on climbing up the side of Wind-Supporting Slope.

“Why don’t we just honestly take the front route?”

Char suggested,

“I know some places where we can hide; if we climb slowly and carefully, we still have a chance to get over without them noticing.”

But Matthew shook his head at this,

“Too slow.”

The appearance of Wind-Supporting Slope had already greatly delayed the progress of his journey.

He had climbed over the hillside above.

It was extremely strenuous.

Not to mention that there was also a large army of Shadow Demons waiting in formation on the front.

In such circumstances.

He would inevitably have to resort to more extreme methods to make up for the wasted time, even if it involved some risk.

“Don’t worry, if you fall from here, you even have time to drink a cup of afternoon tea before triggering Feather Drop or a Levitation Spell, not to mention dying from a severe fall.”

At the edge of the platform.

Lorraine retracted her head which she had stuck out to look down.

Camela looked calmly at Matthew,

“If you’ve made up your mind, then just go for it. We trust you and are willing to support you.”

Matthew nodded.

Then, he opened Lost Paradise and took Lorraine, Char, Camela, and Sandrine inside.

Although Lost Paradise would produce assimilating, Suppressive negative effects on outsiders.

As long as Matthew was fast enough,

he could minimize the negative impact.

“You aren’t going in?”

He asked Char.

The latter shrank his neck, then plucked up the courage to say,

“I want to follow you and see how you climb up.”

“Don’t worry about me, I have a way to catch up.”

That said,

Char suddenly jumped onto Matthew’s shoulder, and his lithe body immediately turned into a silver-grey cape, snugly wrapping around Matthew’s neck and shoulders.

…

[Hint: You have received the “Wild Wolf Cape (Sprite Incarnation)”

Wild Wolf Cape: When you wear this equipment, your balance, climbing, swimming, running & Fleetfoot, jumping & sprinting, and other related abilities will be greatly enhanced]

…

“The feel of it isn’t half bad.”

Feeling the fuzzy annoyance around his neck,

Matthew couldn’t resist pinching the cape a few more times.

Char’s muffled voice immediately came to his ear,

“Stop pinching, it hurts.”

“Oh, sorry.”

Matthew promptly let go and apologized.

Before Char could react,

The next second,

Matthew sprinted towards the direction of the cliff.

“Wait!”

“Doing it this way…”

“Won’t that make too much noise? They’ll find us…”

Char anxiously and surprisedly asked in Matthew’s ear.

Matthew, feeling the rushing winds hit his face as he looked up at the cliff resembling a sheer precipice, was slightly stirred, yet his voice remained calm,

“I never intended to hide from them!”

As his words fell,

he had already rushed to the edge of the cliff.

In that instant,

Matthew’s body underwent a violent transformation–
