Chapter 1921: 540 Are you ready to get started?_2

This brought Matthew a little bit of trouble.

Because the devils guarding the teleportation portal to Deep Black Castle had increased somewhat.

“Do you need help?”

Yellow Jade Dragon Clayde noticed this and kindly asked Matthew.

Matthew smiled and shook his head,

“Thank you, but we can handle it.”

As he spoke,

he opened the Lost Paradise and released Lady Camela and Sandrine.

“That portal probably leads directly to Deep Black Castle…”

Matthew quickly explained the situation to Camela.

She nodded slightly.

Next to them, Clayde couldn’t resist whistling,

“Wow, two more ladies, you’re more of a playboy than I thought, Matthew.”

Camela turned to glance at Clayde.

The next second,

she raised her right hand.

A torrent of Divine Spell brilliance, containing immense divine power, surged out like a waterfall.

However, to outsiders,

this power was invisible and intangible.

Most of the divine power was directed towards the demons near the portal,

but a small portion was directly poured into Yellow Jade Dragon Clayde’s head!

Legendary Dominance Technique!

In an instant,

all the demons shuddered on the spot as if struck by lightning,

and then, as if possessed, they started walking in different directions.

Even Clayde, who prided himself on his resistance and did not dodge, was controlled by the domination technique, almost colliding full-on with the demons rushing up from the base of the mountain.

“Let’s go, Matthew, we are running out of time.”

Camela said indifferently.

Then, without looking back, she walked toward the portal.

Sandrine followed closely behind.

Matthew hastily cast a simple Purification and gave Clayde an apologetic look.

Clayde, having freed himself from the abnormal state, was not as annoyed as Matthew had imagined, but his eyes held deep confusion,

“What a fierce old woman!”

“Why did she control me along with the demons even though the spell was clearly aimed at them?”

Regarding this question, Matthew naturally had no answer.

He could only gently remind,

“Mr. Clayde, Lady Camela is no ordinary priest. She may have existed for even more ancient times than you, I mean, much more ancient…”

Interest flickered intensely in Clayde’s eyes.

He stared unblinkingly at Camela, as though he wanted to say something.

Unfortunately, by then, Camela had already activated the portal.

The demons previously affected by the domination technique were also returning.

Matthew could only hastily bid him farewell.

Afterward,

the figures of his group disappeared into the brilliance of the portal.

Under the delayed effects of the Brainwashing Aura,

the demons, returning to the edge of the gate, had no recollection of what had occurred.

They merely felt a slight confusion in their memory and time.

After a little whisper among themselves unlikely to yield any results,

the Devil Guards also regained their calm.

From the shadows, Clayde watched this scene and his interest deepened,

“If I could collaborate with such a formidable legendary priest, there might indeed be a chance to seize Beckman’s treasure.”

“Too bad…”

“Now I have to try my luck alone.”

He shook his head.

Then he hurried toward the main battlefield.

…

On the other side of the teleportation array,

Matthew and his group successfully arrived at the Phantom Baron’s lair, Deep Black Castle.

Similar to the other side of the portal,

there were only a few Devil Guards here.

Through their seamless cooperation, Matthew and Camela quickly wiped clean a few seconds of the demons’ memories.

Afterward, in an atmosphere as if nothing had happened,

they successfully infiltrated the interior of the castle.

“This is near the castle’s abandoned garden, usually scarcely populated. Now, most of the Devil Soldiers have been deployed to the main thoroughfare of the Great Rift Valley, so there are likely even fewer here.”

Mrs. Wolf expertly pushed open a secret door, leading Matthew and the others through the withered garden. While evading the patrolling guards, she even had time to pull out several gold coins and a Soul Coin from under a candlestick holder!

“This is what I had hidden before!”

Facing Matthew’s puzzled look, Mrs. Wolf responded righteously.

Matthew shrugged his shoulders.

Mrs. Wolf really knew this place like the back of her hand.

Before long,

the group smoothly crossed the large area behind the castle and arrived near the military zone, where guards were more heavily concentrated.

“Do you see that fountain?”

“After opening the fountain, a hollow rotating staircase will appear underneath. As long as you can pass the command verification of the gargoyle chief at the end of the staircase, you’ll be able to use the teleportation array hidden beneath the staircase platform to directly reach ‘Tears of Barthor,’ which specifically leads to a palace that Glasia uses for indulgence.”

“It’s not good to force our way in here, and techniques like Domination Technique and Brainwashing might also not be infallible. Here’s what we’ll do, I’ll sneak off and create a distraction to attract their attention, and you guys can find an opportunity to enter the bottom of the staircase.”

“When you meet the gargoyle chief, tell him Mrs. Wolf sent you. She’s my good friend, he will definitely let you through…”

In the shadows of the corridor,

Mrs. Wolf quietly proposed her plan.

“What about you?”

Matthew didn’t bother to question whether the gargoyle chief would actually give Mrs. Wolf that face–

Even if he didn’t,

he and Camela had plenty of methods to make him give face.

Mrs. Wolf whispered,

“After you’ve left, I’ll try to go to the Baron’s study and steal back those contracts that have restricted my freedom.”

“Don’t worry about me, even if I can’t steal what I want, he won’t be able to capture me again. If it really comes to it, I’ll give up all my current power and just return to the dreamscape. I’ll start over from a beginner Nature Soul…”

Matthew shook his head,

“That’s too dangerous.”

“You can hide with me until I’ve sorted my own affairs, and then I’ll deal with the Phantom Baron for you.”

“Trust me, that’s my promise.”

Perhaps because of a natural affinity with the Nature Soul,

Although they hadn’t been together long,

Matthew had already come to regard Mrs. Wolf as a friend he could ally with.

Mrs. Wolf’s face showed a hint of hesitation.

However, just then,

A strong palpitation suddenly came from deep within Matthew’s heart.

It felt as though a pair of eyes in the darkness were staring intently at you!

Although the feeling lasted for less than two seconds,

It was still quite unsettling!

“I’ve been watched by the Blood River Will again, thankfully, so far that gaze doesn’t seem malicious…”

Matthew’s nerves were highly strung.

The next second,

He suddenly discovered that “Rhaegar Soul’s Guidance,” a gift he received from the hands of Blood River Will, was within his perceptual range!

Matthew’s perceptual range was large, but under normal circumstances, it was at most a few hundred meters.

This meant Rhaegar’s soul was in this Deep Black Castle!

And there was even a possibility.

That the Demoness of Desire, Glasia, was currently inside the Deep Black Castle!

Matthew’s heart began to beat a little faster.

At the same time,

Camela suddenly warned with a serious expression,

“Mask your aura.”

“Don’t say a word, not one!”

Once she finished,

she used the highly energy-consuming “Invisibility Carpet (Legendary)” to envelop the entire group.

Mrs. Wolf and Sandrine anxiously watched a column of Devil Soldiers hurry past in the corridor.

Thump, thump, thump!

The crisp sound of high heels echoed intricately from deep within the castle.

In Matthew’s senses,

A sinister red dot appeared in the endless darkness.

She was walking towards the direction where they were hiding.

When they were closest, the distance was no more than eighty meters!

Fortunately, the castle’s structure was complex enough that the Demoness of Desire probably didn’t expect that her top lieutenant’s lair harbored deadly enemies.

After a dozen seconds,

The sound of high heels gradually faded away.

Everyone’s held breath then slowly relaxed.

“That woman, was it Gl… was it her?”

Mrs. Wolf, afraid of being sensed by the other party, didn’t even dare to mention the name of the Demoness of Desire.

Matthew nodded lightly.

Excitement sparkled in his eyes:

“Didn’t expect to encounter her here.”

“This is our chance.”

“Are you ready to make your move, Sener, Richard, and Miss Saphroloa?”

…
