Chapter 1956: 557 Time Cicada_2

A gray-black semi-translucent chain has already linked his body with Matthew—

“Death Reaper Curse”!

Beckman’s face changed color.

At that moment.

He could sense layers upon layers of domains erupting from Matthew’s body—

Negative energy, Grave, Erosion, Death, Equilibrium, Tauren, Nature…

“How can there be so many domains without being legendary?”

Beckman was extremely shocked.

Immediately, he realized that the opponent had all domains open, clearly intending to fight to the death with him.

And of course, he was not willing to risk his life against Matthew at this critical moment.

So without a word, his body turned into a shadow, planning to withdraw from the battlefield.

During the retreat.

He did not forget to take Hibbert, who was trapped in the Shadow Domain, with him.

But at this moment.

He suddenly found that the figure trapped by the endless shadows was gradually becoming void.

Following this.

An astonishing scene unfolded—

Hibbert and the surrounding Shadow Domain seemed to have fallen into a strange loop of time reversal, all movements swiftly flashing past Beckman right before his eyes in reverse time.

He wanted to intervene to stop all this.

But he was interfered with by a strong force, utterly unable to get close.

And when everything was said and done.

He found his Shadow Domain in the same initial state as when it was deployed, and at the center of the domain, where Hibbert was supposed to be bound, had turned into a…

Cicada, continuously trembling its wings!

Beckman’s pupils contracted violently:

“The ‘Time Cicada’?”

“You are one of Loa’s…”

Puff!

The Time Cicada turned into pure white powder and disappeared into the air.

Meanwhile.

Hibbert reappeared beside Matthew:

“How about that?”

“My combat skills are not bad, right?”

Matthew gave him a thumbs-up:

“Pretty strong.”

But he silently complained in his mind, you don’t even have actual combat skills, it’s all talent!

Hibbert chuckled hee hee.

Seizing this opportunity.

Matthew launched several consecutive attacks on Beckman, and even Soldier was summoned to join the assault on Beckman.

If it were only Matthew’s necromancy.

Beckman might have appeared quite composed, but the arrival of the Dual Blade Sage, and the silent approach of the Three Wanderers, put a lot of pressure on Beckman.

Before long.

He used the characteristics of the Shadow Domain to distance himself from Matthew.

Seizing this chance.

Matthew glanced at Camela—

As expected.

This guy was swinging his signature flail, chasing after Glacia!

It was clear that even without using divine spells, relying on physical prowess, this Legendary Priest was a cut above the average Devil Lord!

“The goal of the trip has been achieved, and a lot has been stolen, only a pity that the ‘Eye of Barthor’ was not thieved.”

“But it’s time to retreat!”

Matthew made up his mind.

The next moment.

He, together with Hibbert and Vivien, unleashed their firepower, creating a multitude of area spells at once.

The nearby enemies could only scramble to evade.

These spells also shielded the outsiders’ perception to some extent.

By the time someone recovered.

The ‘Member Gathering Technique’ Matthew used had also completed chanting.

Swoosh!

Everyone present was assembled near Matthew.

Without any hesitation.

Everyone temporarily hid in Lost Paradise.

Immediately after.

Matthew’s figure vanished before everyone’s eyes!

Matthew’s retreat was so decisive, it also exceeded the expectations of Beckman and Glacia.

They at first even thought it was Matthew’s tactic of feigning retreat.

It was only a few seconds later.

They realized Matthew might have really slipped away for good!

“We can’t let him escape!”

Glacia angrily pursued.

Beckman followed the clues to track as well.

In the place where Matthew left, the two found a residual portal and a crack leading to the rift tear in the star realm’s surface!

The two exchanged a glance and each picked a direction to chase.

Unexpectedly, not long after.

Both of them simultaneously emerged from the portal/crack, covered in dust and ash!

“It was a trap!”

“And bombs?”

The two looked at each other, and once they confirmed that they had both encountered similar events, they felt their spirits lift significantly.

“Wait a minute.”

“If both escape routes are traps, then where did he escape to?”

Beckman was furious.

He scanned the chaotic battlefield with his gaze.

Suddenly.

He noticed something amiss in a nearby shadow node!

He quickly entered, and two seconds later, he came back out:

“Indeed, he escaped from here.”

“If he fled through the Shadow Plane, there would surely be a trail left behind. It wouldn’t be difficult to find him; it just requires some effort…”

“And the Shadow Plane is my home turf!”

Beckman was somewhat excited.

But very quickly,

he realized that things were not as simple as he imagined—

In the chaos of the battlefield,

after Matthew and the others left, the Purgatory Snake Demons riding fierce rhinoceroses launched another attack on Glasia’s army!

The Snake Demons came for retribution.

Such an act would be normal under any other circumstances, but at this critical juncture, it was like pouring oil on a fire.

Indeed.

When Beckman’s attention returned to Glasia, she had already put on the Fallen Valkyrie War Armor in a fury!

“Wait.”

“That necromancer and his gang might not have gone far!”

Beckman hurriedly shouted:

“What if he decides to launch another sneak attack?”

Having been cleaned out, Glasia’s eyes were so fierce as if she could devour someone:

“Is this the reason your men attacked my soldiers?”

“Unless you stop summoning the Tong Luo Gods immediately, otherwise…”

“Forget it, at this point, even if you stop, you must die!”

Before she finished speaking,

Glasia, having fully unleashed the potential of her War Armor, roared with towering rage and charged towards the Lord of Darkness.

And the latter, with a darkened expression,

had no choice but to hurriedly retreat into the shadows, and then confront the enemy with the power of his domain.

Very soon,

the battlefield erupted with combat once again.

The intensity of the war had escalated even further than before!

For a time,

the plains above were shrouded in blood and a stench of gore,

and even the Earth itself seemed to begin to tremble slightly!

…

Outside of the Shadow Node,

at the edge where the rift tears the target apart and the Star Realm Void,

a Holy Deer was running swiftly.

After sensing that they had shaken off their pursuers,

Matthew found a relatively safe place and let his consciousness sink into Lost Paradise.

At this moment, Lost Paradise was quite bustling.

A group of people surrounded Rheager’s soul, expressing their concerns and warm greetings, which somewhat overwhelmed Rheager.

“So, I’m in a soul state now?”

“You’re not going to turn me into a skeleton soldier, are you?”

Upon seeing Matthew,

Rheager appeared somewhat excited, but his first words were still laced with jest.

“Zombies wouldn’t do?”

Matthew walked over with a smile.

Rheager posed thoughtfully:

“I’ve heard Liches are pretty powerful.”

Matthew reminded him:

“Liches can’t use sword oil.”

Rheager immediately shook his head vigorously, then asked seriously:

“Strictly speaking, necromancers can’t use sword oil either, right?”

“Uh, so can I still move like a living person?”

As he spoke the last sentence,

his tone was somewhat uneasy.

Matthew went over and patted his shoulder, speaking in a relaxed tone:

“Don’t worry, we’ve kept your body in good shape.”

“After resurrection, you might feel a bit uncomfortable at first, but with some training and continuous treatment, there should be no major issues.”

Rheager grimaced:

“Alright, to still have a body, that’s indeed a happy affair.”

The two chatted a bit more.

Lorraine then asked:

“So what’s next? Are we going to call it quits, or…hm?”

Matthew said with a smile:

“Would you believe me if I said we’re going to back off?”

Lorraine shook his head:

“I wouldn’t believe it.”

Matthew asked:

“Why not?”

Lorraine replied:

“The way you looked at that War Armor and the Divine Sword from other worlds was off.”

“My intuition tells me you’re not one to settle easily.”

Matthew shrugged:

“I am indeed very interested in those two items, but it’s not worth the risk to go back and ask for them.”

This answer seemed unexpected to everyone.

“So we’re just going to head home like this?”

“My Lady has just warmed up!”

Bobo seemed a bit unfulfilled.

Matthew blinked:

“Who said anything about heading home.”

“I just don’t want to return to the main battlefield.”

“Speaking of which, there’s a Shadow Core in the rift, and it seems Beckman has conducted some unspeakable rituals there, I’m planning to take a look.”

“Anyone interested in coming along?”
