Chapter 1773: 483 Ship Breaker and Death God's Lock_4
Melinda waved her hand.
A faint silvery mist emanated from her body.
Shrouded in the mist,
Everyone was unable to see her and Matthew.
This was the signature skill of Secrets Sorcerers—
Invisibility Cloak!
Its level of concealment far surpassed that of the ordinary Invisible Magic Ball!
Shortly thereafter,
She cast a spell called Soul Transference Technique, temporarily transferring her and Matthew's existence onto a part of the starship.
It wasn't long before
the part entered the Space Barrier.
It struggled in the high air due to the barrier,
and quickly
four small planes from within the barrier flew to it collectively.
These small planes emitted networks woven from steel cables from underneath.
They caught the starship part with the networks like catching fish, then slowly descended toward the ground.
Throughout this operation,
Matthew remained in a highly alert state.
But the outcome was unexpectedly smooth.
All the way until they left the Space Barrier,
the pilots on those small planes seemed to have noticed nothing unusual.
They steadily carried the massive part toward the ground.
Seeing this, Melinda revealed a hint of triumph.
She whispered to Matthew,
"Just before we reach the ground, we'll find a chance to leave..."
However, as soon as her words fell,
streaks of pale blue light suddenly flashed across the nearby sky.
Immediately thereafter,
countless pale blue brandings struck the part!
It seemed that the pilots of the small planes were also witnessing such a scene for the first time.
Quickly,
they changed direction and started descending toward another area on the ground!
In that instant,
Matthew saw wise eyes appear before him.
Those eyes seemed able to penetrate hearts and see through all the truths behind everything!
Melinda's expression tightened,
"No good!"
"Sky-reaching Matrix!"
"We've been discovered by the Ancients!"
Matthew, of course, realized this too.
He and Melinda had hidden in the starship part in nearly the most concealed way possible.
He couldn't understand how they were discovered.
But now, they obviously couldn't just let the small planes take them to a specific spot on the ground!
"Let's go!"
Matthew softly called out.
Melinda was quite resolute, immediately releasing the Soul Transference Technique.
Then she quickly chanted an incantation.
Seconds later,
Matthew felt a warmth on his back.
He turned around and was astonished to find a pair of wings, seemingly woven from starlight, had sprouted on his back!
He tried flying a distance in the sky, and found these starlight wings were incredibly fast, only slightly slower than the Legendary Flight given to him by Isabelle!
More crucially,
these wings almost didn't require any consumption of his own mana!
"In the astral world, my spells can be utilized to their fullest extent,"
Melinda, sensing Matthew's thoughts, said with a smile,
"As long as there is starlight, my wings can exist indefinitely, you can fly as long as you want!"
Matthew nodded slightly.
It seems he had underestimated Melinda's abilities.
In Aindor,
the power of this Secrets Sorcerer was actually under strong Suppression.
Now that they had come to the main field of the astral world,
her spellcasting level was nearly as good as the Half-Legends in the Alliance, even potentially surpassing them!
"Let's go!"
"First, descend!"
She said energetically.
In that instant,
the two, relying on the Starry Sky Wings, quickly shook off the relatively cumbersome rescue planes and rapidly approached the ground.
However,
all throughout,
Matthew could still feel those eyes watching him!
"Sky-reaching Matrix..."
He was using the power of his soul origin to counteract the scrutinizing force.
He had a feeling.
If the other party really wanted to harm him,
it seemed like it would be an easy matter.
"No, that's wrong!"
"Having these thoughts might also be a form of psionic interference!"
Matthew steadied his mind.
The two continued to descend.
What troubled Matthew was that the strong psionic force was always locked onto him.
He closed his eyes, and what he invariably saw were those profoundly deep eyes!
What was stranger,
Melinda seemed completely oblivious to all this.
Matthew also noticed,
there were no marks lit up on her from the Sky-reaching Matrix.
This meant that the controller of the Sky-reaching Matrix was targeting only him from start to finish!
But the other didn't seem to have particularly hostile intentions.
He merely used his psionic ability to remotely cling onto him, slightly hindering Matthew's descent.
"You said before that if the Ancients wished, they could use the Sky-reaching Matrix to forcibly relocate any intruder?"
Matthew inquired.
Melinda thought for a moment,
"That's only if the Sky-reaching Matrix is fully activated and it would require the Chief Sin Master of the Ancients to personally act."
"We took advantage of the starship components to muddy the waters, even if the Sky-reaching Matrix identifies us, the opponent's response shouldn't be so quick..."
"They might be able to discern our direction, but not yet capable of immediately capturing us."
"However, once we get to the ground, we can't let our guard down. The methods of the Ancients are mysterious and unfathomable, you never know when they might appear next to us..."
Just then,
an ancient voice suddenly rang out next to Matthew's ear:
"Be careful!"
He was still pondering the meaning of these words.
In his perception,
a mix of intense fear combined with a hair-raising sensation surged through Matthew's heart!
"Get away!"
He suddenly pushed Melinda, who, surprised by the action, quickly recovered and used several secret techniques to distance herself far from Matthew.
The next second,
A sudden gigantic laser shot out from a highly deceptive fortress atop a distant mountain.
Sizzling!
The air was filled with the smell of charred flesh.
The laser cannon shot through where Matthew had just been, brushing against a bird that instantly lost its lower half, only able to squawk as it plummeted to the ground.
Several minutes later,
Matthew emerged from the Lost Paradise with a somber expression.
That blast had triggered certain memories.
Although afterward, it seemed to not be a bad thing.
But for Matthew,
It was also a brush with the shadow of death!
"How could Storluk Industries lock onto my exact location?"
"The Sky-reaching Matrix?"
"No, that warning just now, it must have been the Ancients within the Sky-reaching Matrix warning me, Melinda also mentioned that we aren't allies with them..."
As Matthew rapidly descended, he quickly contemplated.
The warning just now was quite sincere.
Relying on his own reaction, Matthew might just have been able to avoid that laser cannon using Lost Paradise, albeit awkwardly.
But Melinda might have been killed.
Matthew didn't want Sif to lose her mother by his side after losing her father...
With this thought,
His anger towards Storluk Industries was fully kindled.
"Matthew, are you alright?"
Approaching the ground from about a hundred meters,
Melinda rushed over in a hurry.
Matthew shook his head.
He stared at the gradually quieting mountain range with an intensely sharp gaze:
"What was that blast just now?"
Melinda nervously said,
"That was the Death God's Lock from the Azure Dragon Series!"
"I had always thought that weapon was just a legend..."
Death God's Lock?
Matthew's mind stirred.
Just then,
The accumulated knowledge of psionic abilities automatically surfaced in his mind.
...
「Warning: You have encountered the signature weapon "Death God's Lock" from the "Azure Dragon Combat Series."
Death God's Lock (Spiritualized Strategic Level Weapon): With just a name, the Death God's Lock will automatically lock onto the target and launch relentless heavy weapon strikes until their destruction...」
