Chapter 947: Green Angel Requests Moon Tickets (10k)
The Church faction just happened to lack the divine blood of the Agricultural Deity, Demeter. There were also several young Holy Paladins in their team who might be able to use it.
Of course, even if they didn’t have immediate use for it now, they could wait to use it later. In any case, there was no reason not to take what was available!
“Indeed, Bishop Melville.”
Professor Kazel from the Church side glanced over and couldn’t help but praise him.
Dark retracted his gaze and asked, “Professor, should we also catch one?”
Professor Kazel nodded slightly and said, “Of course.”
As he spoke, he withdrew Gavin North’s arm from the body of the [Alchemical Beast] and then read its analysis information through a Mana Card.
He pondered for a moment and said, “Can you bring back some leaves from that [Demeter’s Flower]?”
Professor Shylph, upon hearing this, questioned, “Mine won’t do?” Professor Kazel smiled, “Isn’t there an existing one?” This meant it wasn’t time to reveal it yet.
Professor Shylph shook her head and looked at her side, “Storm City Bride, go.”
The [Storm City Bride] nodded slightly and raised her hand toward the direction where [Demeter’s Flower] had fallen. Immediately, a strong wind arose, lifting the entire broken [Demeter’s Flower] and dragging it forcefully toward them.
Professor Shylph: “…”
“Cough!” Professor Kazel coughed dryly.
While the stem of [Demeter’s Flower] could indeed be dragged, the flower itself could not be moved no matter what.
At this point, as Emily Grantham subdued one of the [Green Angels], the overall situation became very clear.
Dark used the infinite rolling tactic of the [Big Milk Jar] to sever the stem of [Demeter’s Flower], causing the greatest damage to it.
With the stem severed, it lost contact with the roots.
Without roots, [Demeter’s Flower] could not draw natural energy from the Mountain of Gods, and the green liquid inside the flower could not quickly regenerate.
—This was the fundamental cause of the entire regeneration system of [Demeter’s Flower] failing.
Then, he used the [Twin Burst Baby Blue-Eye Dragon] with infinite rebirth to probe out the abilities of [Demeter’s Flower] and revealed the essence of the green liquid within. Finally, he stopped the continuous transformation of many human forms, allowing the [Twin Knights of the Saints] to have a chance at a one-on-one battle with the [Green Angel].
However, the number of [Magical Beasts: Ditto] was limited, and Dark had reached his limit.
He did not summon new Mana Spirits, nor did he let the [Magical Beast: Ibu] mimic the [Transformation] of [Ditto]. Instead, he continuously recalled the Mana Spirits back into cards, leaving only the last [Magical Beast: Ditto (Qingsyan Shasha)] and [Twin Burst Baby Blue-Eye Dragon].
After the [Twin Burst Baby Blue-Eye Dragon] regenerated through [Light Guidance], he quickly summoned it back.
Then, the [Storm City Bride] descended above the flower’s center.
Professor Shylph put the [Wind Crown] on her and equipped her with the [Flower Bride of the Winds].
She wore the crown and wedding dress, truly becoming a bride.
The [Wind Crown] was summoned by wind spirits, while the [Flower Bride of the Winds] was originally a card that only Professor Shylph could wield.
But everything changed after she successfully created the [Storm City Bride].
The compatibility between the [Storm City Bride] and the [Flower Bride of the Winds] was extremely high, and it could wield the [Flower Bride of the Winds] for longer than Professor Shylph herself could.
When Professor Shylph did not need to be on the field, the [Storm City Bride] could fully replace her.
Dark glanced at the [Storm City Bride] and knew that it was only a small step away from becoming Professor Shylph’s ace—awakening its intellect.
At this moment, the fully armed [Storm City Bride] hovering above the flower’s center was controlling the wind with one hand, constantly eliminating the humanoid forms that condensed from the green liquid.
Its attack speed was incredibly fast, often killing the humanoids as soon as they condensed.
It wasn’t until Albert Grantham’s [Arena of Light] withdrew that it intentionally released one humanoid, allowing it to successfully transform into a [Green Angel].
Then, Gavin North, whose hand had recovered to its original state thanks to a temporary potion configured by Professor Kazel, took up the [Wind Demon Sword] and took charge of the [Green Angel].
This time, he switched to another set of [Armor] to counter the [Green Angel]’s abilities, determined to make amends for past failures.
Based on Emily Grantham’s analysis of her battle with the [Green Angel], the [Green Angel]’s strength was roughly equivalent to a twelve-star Mana Spirit, but its combat methods were relatively monotonous. As long as they prepared various countermeasures accordingly, it wouldn’t be difficult to render it incapable of fighting.
Gavin North was still the face of the Northern Territory, and the gap between him and Emily Grantham wasn’t too large.
After Professor Shylph applied wind-based spells to give him various buffs, he could barely hold his own against the [Green Angel]. Eventually, relying on human intelligence, he finally severed its head.
Following this, Professor Shylph rapidly activated the [Ball of Truth], sealing the head and body in two separate [Balls of Truth].
Professor Kazel had prepared the炼成阵 beforehand and immediately began refining the divine blood of [Demeter] after obtaining the [Balls of Truth].
With the birth of three [Green Angels], the green liquid within the flower’s center sank further, producing fewer humanoid forms.
The [Storm City Bride]’s response became increasingly easier.
Bishop Sabrina Melville extracted the [Divine Blood] first.
The [Divine Blood] extracted from the entire [Green Angel] was only about the size of a ping pong ball.
Even from a distance, one could sense its divine aura. Without the [Divine Blood], the [Green Angel] disintegrated into countless green light points; a small portion was absorbed by the mist, while most sank into the ground and returned to the Mountain of Gods.
Excited, Sabrina Melville observed the [Divine Blood] for a while before starting the second round of extraction.
The [Green Angel] captured by Albert Grantham was quickly processed.
Upon discovering that Bishop Sabrina Melville actually managed to extract the [Divine Blood], Count Stanley Longfellow became restless.
He seized the opportunity when Gavin North returned and hurriedly pulled him aside to whisper.
But after a brief exchange, Gavin North couldn’t help but show a troubled expression.
Stanley Longfellow hinted that he should obtain some [Divine Blood], but even if he勉强 captured a [Green Angel], he wouldn’t extract it.
Stanley Longfellow himself was a half-baked individual with no particular skills, far less capable of mastering the advanced technology required to extract the [Divine Blood] from the [Green Angel].
The female guard was equally incapable.
Seeing Gavin North hesitate, Stanley Longfellow immediately said, “Didn’t you just help Saint Maryann Academy capture a [Green Angel]? Go catch another one and ask them to extract it!”
Gavin North’s expression turned grim as he replied, “That was to repay a life-saving favor. Besides, they don’t really need my help.”
Stanley Longfellow said, “But by doing so, you’ve already established quite a good relationship with them. Just ask, and they won’t refuse.”
Gavin North’s expression grew colder as he said, “If you want it so badly, why don’t you ask yourself?”
Stanley Longfellow responded, “Isn’t your relationship with them better?”
“Hmph.” Gavin North sneered and said no more. He was after all the son of Duke North and needed to maintain some dignity! Moreover, he actually had no need for [Demeter]’s divine blood and was unsure why Stanley Longfellow wanted it.
Their cooperation was based on mutual benefits, a combination of interests, and many things remained unsaid.
Like Stanley Longfellow, such an oily nobleman would not even warrant a second glance if he did not represent the king.
Since they were entering the Mountain of Gods together, he would naturally look out for his safety, but other matters…
He was not Stanley Longfellow’s henchman and had his own clear objectives.
After Gavin North clearly refused, Stanley Longfellow no longer offered a friendly demeanor.
He whispered with his guard and had to start thinking about whom to seek help from.
However, [Divine Blood] was not something easily available, and no one would give it away casually.
He considered the situation from both sides’ perspectives. If he were in the position of either the Church faction or the Academy faction, he would not help others acquire [Divine Blood]. But…
“It’s not entirely impossible…”
Stanley Longfellow suddenly opened his eyes. The purpose of the Church faction entering the Mountain of Gods was similar to his Northern Territory, but the Academy faction had explicitly stated they would not participate. Therefore, they might not necessarily refuse to provide a little [Divine Blood].
In other words, it came down to a matter of exchanging benefits.
In simpler terms, it was a transaction!
Generally, transactions involved equal exchange.
But now, being at a disadvantage, if he wanted help, he would likely need to offer something of higher value.
This could be an item or some information.
Regarding information, he had limited knowledge and could not disclose certain secrets. Furthermore, the Academy faction had an informational advantage. If the information he provided was already known to the other party, it would become awkward.
Ultimately, it came back to “barter.”
But in bartering, what item could be exchanged equivalently with [Divine Blood]?
Stanley Longfellow pondered for a long time and could only conclude that only [Divine Blood] could be exchanged for [Divine Blood]!
“Very well!”
Professor Kazel raised his hand, holding a green liquid substance in his palm.
This green liquid was the divine blood of [Demeter].
However, despite being extracted from a [Green Angel], the amount Kazel extracted was only the size of a marble—this was not because the [Green Angel] contained too little divine blood, but because Kazel’s extraction technique surpassed that of Bishop Sabrina Melville.
Specialization was common.
“Unless there are other grass deities in the Heavenly Court, this should be the divine blood of the Agricultural Deity, Demeter.”
Professor Kazel retrieved the previously used [Ball of Truth] and sealed the drop of divine blood within it.
Immediately, he threw the [Ball of Truth] to Dark.
Dark carefully perceived the [Ball of Truth] and indeed sensed the rich grass attribute divine aura.
After refinement, the purity of this batch of divine blood increased, though the key factor was the quantity.
Just this batch of divine blood was already much more than what Dark and others had in their possession of [Hermes’ Blood].
Moreover, there was still more [Demeter’s Blood] to be extracted from the flower’s center.
“Snap!”
Dark slapped away Xemi, who tried to bite the [Ball of Truth], and handed it to Professor Shylph.
The moment Professor Shylph opened the [Ball of Truth], a sudden change occurred!
The green liquid of [Demeter’s Blood] suddenly seemed to come alive, flying out of the [Ball of Truth] and drilling into Professor Shylph’s collar!
“Professor…” Dark instinctively blurted out, then quickly added, but his hand nearly touched Professor Shylph’s chest.
A faint blush crossed Professor Shylph’s face, and she immediately waved her hand, saying, “Nothing happened.”
Dark wanted to say that of course nothing happened, but what about the [Demeter’s Blood]?
But the next moment, he heard a tiny voice like that of an ant. It was Professor Shylph informing him through the [Blessing of the Wind Spirit].
Relieved, Dark couldn’t help but glance at Professor Shylph’s chest again.
The [Demeter’s Blood] had actively entered the [Demeter’s Skirt] she was wearing.
These two items, both belonging to the Agricultural Deity Demeter, had undergone fusion.
At this moment, the skirt that had absorbed the [Demeter’s Blood] was undergoing a highly special transformation.
Professor Shylph silently activated a Mana Card, setting up a wind barrier around her to prevent any unusual aura from attracting attention.
Dark and Professor Kazel exchanged glances, and the latter immediately said, “It seems we need more [Demeter’s Blood]!”
The voluntary integration of [Demeter’s Blood] into [Demeter’s Skirt] was certainly suspicious.
They couldn’t guess exactly, but they could feel that the [Demeter’s Skirt] needed more [Demeter’s Blood]!
If that was the case, then they should provide more divine blood!
Professor Kazel took out his wand and decisively summoned a fourth-tier Mana Spirit.
With offerings laid out and sacrifices made, Professor Kazel summoned a twelve-star Mana Spirit.
This Mana Spirit stood over five meters tall, its body forged from black steel, but the surface of the black steel was smooth like a mirror, reflecting faces clearly.
This was a Steel-Type and Psychic-Type Mana Spirit—the [Black Steel Puppet]! The [Black Steel Puppet] resembled a construct, bulky and seemingly clumsy, but it was extremely lightweight and moved at incredible speeds.
And it was not a defense-focused Mana Spirit, but one skilled in stealthy assassination techniques.
After summoning it, Professor Kazel sprayed a potion on its surface.
The mirror-like steel surface became even smoother and brighter after the potion was applied.
Through this method, Professor Kazel endowed it with the ability to reflect the green beam, allowing it to fully utilize its capabilities in the battle against the [Green Angel].
Then, he summoned a pitch-black sword and threw it to the [Black Steel Puppet].
The sword landed in the [Black Steel Puppet]’s hand, resembling a dagger.
It brandished the sword and charged toward the flower’s center.
During its run, two steel plates unfolded from its back, resembling wings, and actually propelled it into the air.
Seeing it fly, the [Storm City Bride] immediately released a humanoid form, allowing it to successfully transform into a [Green Angel]—the green liquid became even scarcer.
The [Black Steel Puppet] lured the [Green Angel] away from the flower’s center and accelerated.
Its figure almost disappeared in the sky. Continuous injuries appeared on the [Green Angel]’s body.
The [Green Angel], not known for its speed, was completely unable to catch up with the [Black Steel Puppet].
In anger, it unleashed a full-force attack, sending a rain of green beams.
But the [Black Steel Puppet] completely ignored the green beams, and the sword in its hand gradually turned into a dark shadow, silently wrapping around the [Green Angel]’s body.
The [Green Angel] released divine power, and the invisible impact shattered the shadow.
But the [Black Steel Puppet] shook the sword handle slightly, and the shadow reformed into a sword.
It extended its left hand, grasping the air, and countless black steel plates suddenly appeared around the [Green Angel].
These black steel plates rapidly converged toward the [Green Angel]’s position, forming a multi-faceted black steel structure.
The [Black Steel Puppet] stabbed with the sword in its hand, and the sword transformed into a shadow once more, piercing through the black steel plates and through the [Green Angel]’s body.
