Chapter 967: Heavenly Court · Breath of Wilderness (4k)
Dak reached into his card pack and pulled out the two mana cards, [Magical Beast: Goddess of Heartful Eyes] and [Magical Beast: Destroyer God], then summoned them one after another.
“Have you seen any chaotic divine aura flowing?” Dak asked immediately after summoning the first card, [Magical Beast: Goddess of Heartful Eyes].
The [Magical Beast: Goddess of Heartful Eyes], after opening its third eye for a detailed observation, frowned and said, “Though it’s incredible, this world indeed has a large amount of chaotic and unordered divine aura.”
Dak also frowned and replied, “A lot? Then why can’t I sense any?”
The [Magical Beast: Goddess of Heartful Eyes] raised its hand and pointed at a small, elongated black fog nearby, saying, “It might be because all the scattered divine auras have been absorbed by that black fog.”
Dak looked at the small black fog and couldn’t help but say, “But in my perception, there’s nothing particularly special about this black fog.”
The [Magical Beast: Goddess of Heartful Eyes] responded, “That’s the gap between you and me.”
Dak: “…”
In short, these black fogs could absorb divine auras and block perceptions.
Although they didn’t cover the area like the mist on the Mountain of Gods, they still interfered with the transmission of information.
While not completely blocking it, the transmission effect was weakened. This explained why the blessing of the wind elemental had failed.
Due to the interference from these thin black fogs, the range of communication provided by the blessing of the wind elemental was significantly reduced, turning it into a close-range communicator.
This situation wasn’t unexpected by Dak, but it didn’t affect his actual plan.
His main concern was whether these black fogs, which could absorb divine auras, would interfere with the [Lost Prophecy] of the [Magical Beast: Destroyer God].
“These things can’t even hide from its divine eye; how could they possibly interfere with me?”
After being summoned, the [Magical Beast: Destroyer God] said disdainfully and then performed the [Lost Prophecy] as Dak instructed. It defined Aurora as Dak’s “lost thing” and made a successful prophecy.
“This direction, around fifty kilometers, in five minutes.”
Dak turned towards the direction indicated by the [Magical Beast: Destroyer God] and observed, “Will something appear in this direction fifty kilometers away in five minutes?”
The [Magical Beast: Destroyer God] crossed its arms and said, “Correct.”
After a moment of silence, Dak said, “Do you think I can cross fifty kilometers in five minutes?”
The [Magical Beast: Destroyer God] smirked and said, “Fifty kilometers in five minutes means a speed of six hundred kilometers per hour, or 166.7 meters per second. Since the known speed of sound is 340 meters per second, flying at half the speed of sound will get you there in five minutes. So instead of talking more, just get moving.”
Dak rolled his eyes, having no intention of arguing.
“In the name of Dak Diemon, Mana Summon — [Divine Rank Armed: Moon Goddess]!”
“Gathered prayers will become a new silver moonlight, transform into a shining silver moon, armed evolution — Moon Goddess!”
After evolving into [Moon Goddess], Dak directly summoned the [Chariot of the Moon Goddess].
“Come forth, chariot of the Moon Goddess!”
As he called out, a vortex-like ripple appeared in front of him. Two agile black horses with silver horns sprang out from the ripple, their bodies clad in silver-black metal armor, hooves trailing silver light like white flames.
Following closely, the [Chariot of the Moon Goddess] emerged, both luxurious and dignified.
Once the [Chariot of the Moon Goddess] was summoned, Dak immediately deactivated the [Armed Evolution] and returned to his physical form.
He then drew the [Fairy Tale Animal: Little Rabbit], and usually summoned, “In the name of Dak Diemon, Mana Summon — [Fairy Tale Animal: Little Rabbit]!”
Stepping out of the [Stake], the [Fairy Tale Animal: Little Rabbit] saw the [Chariot of the Moon Goddess] and instantly became excited.
Crawling down the [Stake], it ran toward the carriage, placed the [Stake] underfoot, and climbed onto the carriage with effort, taking control of the [Chariot of the Moon Goddess] with excitement.
Dak brought along the [Magical Beast: Goddess of Heartful Eyes] and [Magical Beast: Destroyer God], and sat in the [Fairy Tale Animal: Little Rabbit]’s [Chariot of the Moon Goddess].
Knowing that the black fog contained divine auras, Dak realized he was likely truly brought to the [Heavenly Court].
At night in the real world, the [Heavenly Court] was bright as day. Despite this, the [Chariot of the Moon Goddess] couldn’t blend into the darkness, but Dak still activated the [Night Travel Barrier].
With the [Night Travel Barrier] active, the [Chariot of the Moon Goddess]’s speed increased by 50%, further accelerating its already rapid flight.
The strong winds were deflected by the barrier, making the ride smoother.
Dak sat inside the carriage, peering through the curtains as they passed by.
He didn’t expect the [Chariot of the Moon Goddess] to reach the predicted location within five minutes, but he aimed to get there as quickly as possible.
After reaching the designated spot, he planned to search for clues, track, and close the distance.
Once close enough, he could use the [Blessing of the Wind Elemental] again to contact Aurora.
Overall, this was the process he intended to follow. After finding Aurora, he would continue searching for Angrey.
Once the three of them gathered, they could begin exploring the [Heavenly Court] and investigate why Hermes had brought them here using the [God’s Concealment] method.
And why, after bringing him to the [Heavenly Court], he was left in this desolate place.
As thoughts raced through his mind, Dak suddenly furrowed his brows, noticing patches of shadowy movement on the ground.
However, the [Chariot of the Moon Goddess] was traveling too fast in the air.
By the time he noticed, the shadows had vanished from sight. He didn’t turn back to investigate, only noting it in his mind.
When he first entered the [Heavenly Court], everything around him seemed desolate, with no signs of life, leading him to believe the [Heavenly Court] was long extinct.
But now, it seemed the [Heavenly Court] still had an ecosystem.
Only, the creatures living here were entirely different from previous records. The material from the Abyss had polluted the [Heavenly Court], destroying its original ecosystem.
Who knew what kind of monsters this new ecosystem would produce?
Dak paused, recalling the pollutants.
Then, he noticed that there were almost no traces of pollution along the way.
Just as he began to wonder about this, a dark shadow suddenly loomed over them, and a piercing, ghost-like shriek echoed above the [Chariot of the Moon Goddess].
A strong sense of danger surged instantly.
Without hesitation, Dak chanted:
“Wings of Moonlight, spread!”
