Chapter 1807: 499 Star Devourer and Captain
...
The terrifying golem tore through to the little devil's side.
The latter was controlling the freshly emerged Blood Claw from the portal while struggling to evade.
But it didn't take many rounds.
She was easily captured by another golem that entered from the flank!
"Ah!"
The little devil screamed in agony.
Her waist was almost cut in two by a giant pair of scissors carried by the golem!
A large amount of blood spurted out.
Immediately afterward,
the Blood Claw controlled by the little devil also fell limply to the ground.
At the center of Blood Claw was a glimmering, yellowish stone.
For a moment,
several golems gathered around.
They orderly protected the stone, and a higher-ranking unit picked it up.
"Did you find the item?"
"Bring it over, let me see?"
Captain Elephant approached the scene full of pride.
But a few seconds later,
his joy vanished—
as the yellowish stone brought by the golems turned out to be a common rock with no spirituality!
When he looked at the little devil that was cut in half,
her body had transformed into a straw dummy split down the middle!
Realizing he had been fooled by a mere little devil made Captain Elephant very angry.
He immediately shouted,
"Issue my command!"
"Release a full spectrum of Blood Vessel Interferon within a three-kilometer radius around the mountain peak!"
"Summon Cosmic Spirit Wind!"
"We must find that female devil and her counterpart devils!"
A few minutes later,
members of the Gray Spider squad appeared, each enveloped by a blurry breeze.
Under the lead of these rare Elemental Lives,
they began a new round of search and pursuit.
On the other side of the peak,
in a hidden crevice,
"Quickly leave!"
"It's Cosmic Spirit Wind."
"This variant of the Air Element has a powerful capacity to differentiate, especially skilled at tracking devils, and it's unsafe for us to hide here!"
Sif urgently warned Matthew upon seeing a fleeting, grayish figure over a distant mountain peak.
Matthew didn't hesitate.
He reached into his bag and pulled out two sets of escape-specific scrolls—
given to him by Melinda.
As a Secrets Sorcerer,
Melinda's spells largely revolve around concealment and support,
providing a unique advantage in escape tactics.
Considering they were on Storluk Planet, and Melinda's spells targeted psionic power, Matthew activated these two scrolls—
"Spell: Multiple Virtual Transfer"!
Then followed thirty consecutive dizzying short-range high-frequency transfers.
After ensuring they had put more than five kilometers between themselves and the main force of the Gray Spider squad,
Matthew barely halted the spell.
When he stopped,
his lips quivering slightly, his complexion turned a sickly gray—
"The spell is useful for escapes, but the backlash is too severe..."
Looking at Sif and her accompanying devil, Nini,
Well,
their complexions were flushed, seemingly unaffected by the spell's strain.
Matthew took a deep breath.
To avoid revealing he was the weakest in constitution among them, he smoothly changed the subject:
"Your trick just now was very convincing."
"You even deceived Captain Elephant..."
Before the proud little devil could take any credit,
Sif tapped on Nini's head and snorted lightly,
"Of course, my accompanying devil is no fool!"
Then she spread her hands.
In her left hand was a heart resembling blue amber,
in her right, that yellowish stone.
Matthew glanced and knew these were the merged "Iron Tree Heart" and the legendary "Dream Stone" capable of reconstructing natural dreamlands.
The former represented a will of the planet partially split from the original star spirits;
the latter was the cornerstone of the planet's natural dreamland.
If both were controlled by a powerful spellcaster, enslaving or even reshaping a planet's star spirit wasn't far-fetched.
"So, what do you plan to do next?"
Matthew asked.
Without hesitation, Sif replied,
"Check the status of the star spirit."
"Lutisia is currently battling the Star Shepherd trying to merge with the star spirit. Given the current situation, it's probably difficult to persuade Storluk's star spirit to directly submit to Purgatory Blood River..."
Matthew remained silent.
Sif's implication was clear; they planned to eliminate the Star Shepherd and star spirit, then leverage the Dream Stone and Iron Tree Heart to establish control in Storluk's natural dreamland.
Ultimately, they aimed to make this planet a part of Purgatory's territory.
However,
would it really be that simple?
Even if Guda, representing the Ancient, was eventually defeated by Lutisia, what about the Imperial Descendants spread across the planet's surface?
Would they sit by and watch all this happen?
Matthew felt the plan by Sif and Lutisia was fraught with holes.
But he knew, this might be Lutisia's final attempt in desperation—regardless of the obstacles ahead, she would stick to her plan.
For Rheager, Sif would surely do the same.
Matthew couldn't suggest a better plan and could only remain a silent observer.
"Let's go find her!"
Sif now acted with decisiveness.
After securing the two treasures,
she briefly organized herself, then used the blood lineage sense of the Blood Robes family to pinpoint Lutisia's rough direction:
"It seems she has left the Earth Core Dream."
