Chapter 550: Death Gaze
Translator: Lonelytree
Margaret praised Chen.
Matthew deeply felt what it meant for poor people to appreciate each other.
However, he also had a good impression of Chen.
After all, he was the great hero who had killed the Evil Dragon in the sea, which benefited Matthew and the other Alliance Mages. Matthew was about to ask for more information about Chen.
But at this moment.
The flying speed of the mechanical bat suddenly slowed down.
A huge vortex appeared in the sky ahead.
In the vortex.
A human head that was dozens of times larger than before drilled out of it.
Then, it was a lion’s body that was enlarged to an equal scale.
He had huge wings on his back and was holding a weapon that looked like a halberd.
“Do you really think you can escape the Sphinx?”
He stared at the two of them coldly.
Margaret waved her left hand and pulled a portal in the air.
In the end, she grabbed the mechanical bat and Matthew and flew to the right.
This feint successfully deceived the Sphinx.
The two sides quickly pulled away.
“Looks like our last lesson will end here. You’ll have to leave Purgatory alone.”
Margaret smiled at Matthew.
Then, she turned to the sphinx and asked,
“Dear Mr. Sphinx, do you have any children?”
The Sphinx sneered.
“You’re already on the verge of death, and you still want to play the emotional card with me?”
Margaret shook her head.
“I’m not afraid of your power, and I don’t intend to ask you to let me go. I just want to know the objective truth.” The Sphinx frowned.
“Of course, I have children.
“What are you trying to say?”
Margaret heaved a sigh of relief. Then, she said with a serious expression,
“My mentor, Soria, once taught me that it’s best not to exterminate monsters that are relatively rare in the Multiverse.
“If you don’t have children yet, then I might have to subdue you or exile you.
“If the Sphinx were to become extinct because of this, I would feel a little guilty, and I would bring shame to my teacher’s teachings.
“After all, she had almost exterminated the Chromatic Dragons back then. Later on, she realized that she could not find any Chromatic Dragon materials, so she felt very guilty.
“But now that I know you have a child, I have nothing to worry about.” The Sphinx was furious.
His huge body agilely changed directions in the air and fiercely pounced towards Margaret.
A high-pitched syllable burst out of Margaret’s mouth, and then the syllable became low and mellow. It was only when the Sphinx was almost in front of her that the chant ended with a trill. [Strengthened Monster Immobilizing Spell] !
In an instant.
The Sphinx’s body froze on the spot.
His eyes widened.
It was as if he wanted to swallow Margaret alive.
However, Margaret ignored his gaze.
She only slightly adjusted the distance between the two of them and then began to chant again.
Matthew listened to her singing and could not help but want to imitate her.
This was the resonance of Soria’s chanting.
In just five seconds.
Margaret finished chanting a Tier 5 spell.
[Cross Cut]!
In an instant.
The area where the Sphinx was formed was a cubic force field.
This force field could not be identified with the naked eye.
However, Matthew could sense the terrifying power that was accumulating in the force field from afar!
The force field was about to cut the Sphinx’s body.
The Sphinx displayed great resilience.
His claws and tail actually moved slightly, and he was about to be freed from the effects of the monster’s immobilizing spell.
“Humph!
I’m afraid this level of force field spell is not enough to kill me!”
The Sphinx let out a disdainful sound from his chest.
Countless cutting lines flew towards him.
Most parts of his body also began to move.
However, at this moment.
Margaret finished chanting her second spell.
[Tenfold Weakening spell]!
When the halo that could greatly reduce the natural armour level landed on the Sphinx’s head, the Sphinx’s body was completely destroyed.
A hint of nervousness finally flashed across his eyes.
However, this nervousness only lasted for half a second.
The endless cutting lines tore through the Sphinx’s body.
Half a second later, the spell ended.
The Sphinx instantly turned into thousands of pieces of flesh and blood, falling to the ground.
“Did you see that? [Spell Delay] and [Stored Spell] are two very useful super-magic abilities.
“If I didn’t have the Tenfold Weakening Spell, it would be very difficult for me to kill him in one strike.
“However, once I used ten times weakening, he wouldn’t be so easily immobilized by me.
“In addition to the proper use of Soria’s chanting, the connection between spells could also rely on an ability called Traceless Spell.
“However, you have to learn it yourself. There are no other mages in the Alliance who can teach you this.
“Even if they do, their actual combat skills are far inferior to mine.” Margaret raised her proud little head and said to Matthew with some emotion,
“Go, Matthew. We’re not far from Happy’s portal. You should remember the direction. Leave quickly.”
Before Matthew could answer.
A cloud of blood mist suddenly appeared in front of Margaret. A woman’s sharp voice came from the blood mist.
“You killed the Sphinx?!
“You even stole my treasure?!”
