Chapter 1907: 534 Gale Will and the Summoning Banner_3

“Static Iron Armor (Armor): This item is the bane of Wind Demons, granting immunity to most of their attacks and any effects of the Gale Domain.

Moreover, the Static Iron Armor also provides a significant amount of protection.

Requirement: Strength 21 points or higher to wear.”

…

Each of these items had their uses.

Gale Will could serve as a stepping stone for exploring domains, as well as a cornerstone for constructing new domains.

Matthew had previously acquired the Flowing Cloud Will, establishing his own domain ecosystem, and naturally coveted any domain tokens he could get his hands on.

With this item,

not only was he confident about entering the Gale Domain, but even the Sky Domain behind it was not out of reach.

And the Four Symbols Card was even more timely.

He had previously had a set sealed with the Azure Dragon Dufeng, and now had acquired one with the White Tiger Profound Truth.

Although he had already given away the Azure Dragon to Li Weiqi,

if he ever managed to complete the set of four, he might be able to witness the Four Symbols Array Formation come to life.

As for the Soul Treasure Pearl and Static Iron Armor,

the former was pure wealth and experience, holding this pearl would allow him to bribe most Purgatory Devils;

while the latter would not be of use to Matthew himself,

he could equip it on his undead minions.

Both Dark Warrior Argus and Death Knight 47 would be well suited to wear such highly specialized ARMOR.

“What do the Wind Demons mean by gathering Static Iron Armors for their lords?” Matthew wondered with some surprise.

Amidst his thoughts,

the group passed the extension behind the summit of Wind-Supporting Slope.

The scenery before them shifted from the murky pale yellow to an endless pitch black.

On both sides loomed cliffs as tall as ramparts.

The ground ahead was filled with spider-web-like cracks spreading far and wide.

Unlike the cliff dwellings of the Wind Demons,

there was not a sign of life emanating from the massive valley walls.

For this was no ordinary cliffside.

These were the exposed limbs of the Purgatory Blood River outside the plane.

They were the bones of purgatory,

holding up the framework of the Nine Tier Purgatory.

Matthew knew that

above these cliffs–if one could reach there–lay a vast array of spaces between purgatory, where purgatory intermingled and folded with the material plane and the Secondary Planes.

This was Shadow Rift Valley,

a very narrow corridor,

and the most central part of the Phantom Baron Territory.

Extreme Bliss Manor, which Matthew had seen advertised before, was located at the start of Shadow Rift Valley.

And the true abode of the Phantom Baron–

Deep Black Castle,

lay at the far end of Shadow Rift Valley.

The significance of this valley was self-evident; it was the essential bridge connecting the core regions of Barthor Purgatory with the peripheral areas.

Each day, countless merchant caravans, armies, and various demons passed through the valley.

Typically,

the Phantom Baron had an open policy towards most outsiders.

But the current situation was clearly different.

On their way,

Matthew had not only nearly collided with several fully equipped Shadow Demon armies but had also spotted numerous pitch-black banners throughout the valley, continuously emitting special phenomena into the surroundings.

“Summoning Banner.”

Little Wolf explained gravely:

“This is a treasure of Glacia.”

“All demons summoned under the aura of the battle flag must gather beneath it and automatically become part of the newly established army, then follow the banner to war in distant lands.”

“As long as the banner is not destroyed, the summoned demons can never regain their freedom.”

“Good heavens, almost every place in Shadow Rift Valley is filled with Summoning Banners, which power is worth such a massive mobilization?”

“Matthew, do you know?”
