Chapter 553: Finger of Death and the Mother of Slaves

Translator: Lonelytree

Matthew’s actual combat ability was far stronger than what he showed on the surface.

In terms of his individual strength, with so many Domains stacked on top of each other, it would not be difficult for him to fight against a Type 5 expert with his Type 3 body.

Not to mention that it was his home ground.

In the cemetery and the oak forest.

All sorts of underlings were silently watching the Sphinx.

The difference in numbers could create a lot of pressure.

Not to mention, there was also the domain.

Even if the legendary Rogue, Silver Snake Richard, was excluded, the underlings led by Centaur Obast and Dark Warrior Argus were enough to make any unit below legendary suffer.

Of course, the Sphinx was strong.

However, he had yet to enter the Legendary stage, so it was difficult for him to go against the objective laws no matter how strong he was.

Coupled with the home-ground advantage, as long as both sides made a move…

The Sphinx was dead, for sure!

His expression was a little embarrassed. If he had the ability to secrete sweat, he would probably be sweating profusely by now.

“Wait a minute.”

He suddenly said to Matthew,

“I still have one more thing…’

Before he could finish his sentence.

He suddenly flew towards the purple vortex behind him at an extremely fast speed!

The Sphinx was about to escape.

Matthew raised his right hand without hesitation.

In this cemetery.

Unless he met a freak like Margaret, he was invincible below Legend rank!

Ability: Forced Captivity

In an instant.

A pitch-black arm that seemed to be made of mud suddenly stretched out from the walls of the underground space.

The Sphinx moved quickly.

However, Matthew’s ability was activated faster.

In a flash.

The arms pressed the Sphinx to the ground.

He was less than three meters away from the purple vortex!

However, these three meters seemed to have become a natural moat.

The Sphinx could not free himself from the suppression of those muddy arms.

This was the power of the Domain and Ritual!

Seeing that he still wanted to struggle.

Argus leapt up and instantly jumped between the Sphinx and the teleportation vortex. Then, under the Sphinx’s desperate gaze, Argus raised his alloy shield and struck it heavily on the Sphinx’s head!

Bang!

The entire underground space was filled with that dull sound.

He could vaguely hear the sound of liquid swaying.

It was unknown if the Sphinx’s brain was reverberating.

The Sphinx screamed and lost all ability to resist.

Matthew stepped on a muddy arm and slowly moved in front of the Sphinx.

Elite Ghost Ali flew over with his subordinates.

With Matthew’s permission.

They started doing what they did best–

They greedily absorbed the Sphinx’s energy.

“You just broke into someone’s house, and you want to run away? Isn’t that a little too rude?”

Matthew looked at the Sphinx calmly.

The latter panted heavily, and his voice seemed a little weak. “Wait, it doesn’t have to be like this between you and me.

“Perhaps we can work together.” Matthew smiled and said,

“Cooperation? Just like you and Lutisia?

“If you can answer every question I ask accurately, then I’ll consider working with you.

“Otherwise…You see, I don’t have a single undead Sphinx in my cemetery.”

The Sphinx’s face turned ashen.

He was shocked and angry, but he had to suppress his anger. He forcefully raised his head and said,

‘ I can answer your question, provided that the content of your question does not harm the interests of the other people who have signed the contract with me.”

Matthew went straight to the point.

“Who asked you to guard the Suki Clan’s sacrificial hall? If it was her, why did she make the sacrificial room look like a treasure room?”

The Sphinx looked troubled.

“This is not a question I can answer.”

Bang!

The dark warrior beside him didn’t say a word and smashed down heavily with his shield.

The Sphinx screamed again.

He felt dizzy.

Matthew repeated the question and stared at the Sphinx with a malicious look. The Sphinx was silent for a while, then said with difficulty,

” I can only tell you that Lady Lutisia is not my direct contractor. The one who ordered me to guard the treasure house is someone else. That lord is a necromancer like you, but he is much stronger than you. I can’t say more because of the contract.”

A pleading look appeared in his eyes.

“Necromancer? Do I actually have peers? But I didn’t feel anything…Could it be that he wasn’t in the cemetery at that time?”

Matthew was shocked.

Then, he suddenly remembered that Rheagar had not mentioned that there was a Sphinx in the treasure vault, which meant that the Sphinx only appeared after he left.

And Rheagar’s wife ran off with a necromancer.

Could it be that the same necromancer?

He not only stole Rheagar’s wife but also his sister?

Matthew was shocked by this thought.

He quickly asked,

Has the necromancer always lived in the cemetery?”

The Sphinx shook his head.

Matthew asked a few more questions, and the Sphinx answered them simply.

Looking at his appearance, Argus wanted to continue practising Shield Bash, but he was stopped by Matthew.

He could sense that the Sphinx had already suffered a slight backlash from the Contract Domain.

He would not get the answer he wanted even if he continued to interrogate him.

Hence, he changed his question..
