Chapter 1910 - A Necromancer Who Just Wants to Plant Trees

Chapter 1910: 535 Barthor’s Skull_3 The group of Devil Guards in front of them clearly wasn’t included in this list. Compared to the possibility of being discovered, the rugged rocks under their feet created even more difficulties for Matthew and Mrs. Wolf’s progress. Before long, they had bypassed the guards on the side and arrived at the entrance of the cave. Matthew had intended to observe the situation inside the cave and wait for an opportunity to act. But at that moment, a strange and powerful force suddenly surged from the direction of the manor. Matthew’s eyelids twitched. A huge sense of warning surged from the bottom of his heart. Mrs. Wolf’s anxious voice also followed: “Not good!” “The boundary of Extreme Bliss Manor is expanding in our direction!” “Do you see that black line?” “We can’t get caught by the black line, or else we’ll have to abide by the rules of Extreme Bliss Manor…” “Now, it’s daytime…” “Matthew, we need to hurry!” As she spoke the last few sentences, her voice nearly transformed with urgency. Matthew also sensed the seriousness of the situation as the black line symbolizing the barrier rushed toward the direction of the cave like a tide. In the nick of time, he silently cast the Haste Technique, then grabbed Mrs. Wolf and rushed into the cave! Under the haste, the Invisible Magic Ball inevitably shook a bit. Fortunately, the group of Devil Guards seemed to be confused by this sudden event. A few seconds later, the black line stopped near the entrance of the cave. By that time, Matthew and the other had already dived into the cave, disappearing from the sight of the demons! “That was close!” “We almost got sucked in…” Mrs. Wolf unconsciously stuck out her tongue and then somewhat shyly pulled her hand from Matthew’s. Seeing her gesture, Matthew paused, then couldn’t help but laugh: “You don’t think I’m the kind of person who is interested in furry creatures, do you?” Mrs. Wolf’s face instantly flushed red: “Of course not!” “I was just worried that if we got swept in, it might empower Barthor.” “You should know, every demon has their own rules. The rules for primary demons are embodied in contracts, while those for middle and high-level demons apply more broadly.” “Having many people forcibly obey their own rules gives demons unimaginable power.” “The special laws of Extreme Bliss Manor are such high-level rules.” “I know the Phantom Baron well; he’s not yet at the stage where he can manipulate the laws. Therefore, these anomalies must be orchestrated by Barthor.” “I even suspect that during the sealing process, Barthor’s head developed its own, independent consciousness.” “It set up these rules in the manor and tempts people to come in and abide by them, actually drawing power and growing continuously…” “Eventually, he might accumulate enough power to grow into a new Devil Lord under the blessing of the Blood River Will.” Matthew nodded solemnly. Mrs. Wolf’s judgment about Barthor’s head was very accurate. If it had indeed developed its own consciousness, that would explain the rumors and advertisements about Extreme Bliss Manor— For Demoness of Desire Glasia, nothing could be better than her father quietly staying under the Bridge of All Life. Barthor’s head was one of her major enemies in her assault on becoming the Lord of the Nine Hells. If this head could develop its own consciousness, it would mean cutting off Barthor’s roots in purgatory completely. In this situation, passively allowing or even enhancing the rumors about Extreme Bliss Manor made sense. “From another perspective, if we need to deal with Glasia, could we not use Barthor’s power?” “Just need to be extra careful…” Just as this thought emerged in Matthew’s mind, a mud-like monster suddenly appeared silently on the stone wall in front of them. The monster’s voice was rough and ancient, as if it had endured millions of years of pain and had experienced endless roaring: “You just thought of me, didn’t you, Matthew?” “Since you’re already here, why not visit the manor?” Mrs. Wolf had not yet reacted. Matthew suddenly lowered his head— Inside the dim cave, unknown to them, the black line symbolizing the edge of the barrier had already crossed their position, enveloping them on the side belonging to the manor! …
