Chapter 194: The Giant's Body and the Way of Nature
Unexpectedly for Matthew.
When his "body" touched the chest of the hawk-faced man, the latter seemed to vanish, effortlessly allowing him to pass through!
"Stop!"
The hawk-faced man roared in anger.
His unusually large palms reached out to grab Matthew.
With a thought, Matthew suddenly flew at an incredible speed!
Before, he had attempted to fly within the realm, but his speed was only a...

Chapter 193: Mother of Desires and the Eagle-faced Guardian
Margaret's news was shocking.
On one hand, Matthew was surprised by her formidable combat prowess, truly holding her ground against a genuine legend despite being only at the fifth rank. On the other, he admired her stubbornness.
In theory, considering Margaret's displayed magical abilities, escaping should've been a breeze, but instead, she ended up plummeting into the Blood River to such an extent.

"Do you know me?"
Matthew looked cautiously at Viscount Van.
This guy gave Matthew a strange feeling. He was completely cloaked, merging seamlessly with the night.
He was clearly standing right there.
But if you didn't pay close attention, you'd overlook his presence.
It wasn't just a matter of perception.
Matthew speculated that he probably had some kind of spell or ability that made peo...

Chapter 191: Envoy of the Underworld
Matthew had just stepped into the Lord's hall when he heard Rhaegar boasting loudly about his "near-death experience" in the infernal journey.
Hearing his energetic voice, Matthew felt reassured.
Apart from Rhaegar and Zeller, the office also housed Dulin and Asma, two worn-out knights, in stark contrast to Rhaegar's vigor.
Seeing them lounging on the sofa, still in their armor but exuding an air of exhaustion and weakn...
