Chapter 993: Dark Demon and Angel Can (4k)
Although they had only briefly interacted, Dark clearly had established sufficient trust in him, or he wouldn’t have entrusted such precious things to him.
Dark put away the [Ball of Truth] and then began to sweep through the secret room with the others.
After confirming no information was left behind, they left the golem in the room, activated the mechanism, and returned to Hermes’ bedroom.
Once they all left, the golem remaining in the secret room started causing extensive damage.
Soon, this [Angel Factory] was completely destroyed. In any case, they had done their best.
Though there were many more such [Angel Factories], it was beyond their power to change that now.
When the golems remaining in the secret room exhausted their mana and returned, everyone received the news that the secret room had been thoroughly destroyed.
Then, relying on the slight tremor caused by the explosion of the secret room, they determined its true location—directly beneath that hall!
Immediately, they returned to that hall and rang the golden bell that had gathered all the [Angels] there.
The first ring summons, the second ring dismisses.
The [Angels] inside the hall left the room, exited the chapel, and re-entered the false society formed by those [Angels].
After they all left, Dark dug through and found the hidden transmission channel.
Without hesitation, they destroyed the transmission channel and then rested in the chapel.
Their fatigue had accumulated to a serious level.
Mana was still plentiful, but energy was already overburdened.
Dark summoned the [Fossil Wing Dragon] through sacrificial summoning.
The [Fossil Wing Dragon] remained motionless, successfully triggering the [Silent as an Ancient Tomb] effect, making its own aura disappear, becoming completely invisible, and giving the same effect to allies within ten meters.
Under the protection of this aura effect, everyone entered the carriage, sat on the long bench, and closed their eyes to rest.
Since being brought into this [Heavenly Realm], they had essentially spent a night there.
But time was limited, and Dark gave them only two hours of rest.
Two hours later, regardless of whether they had recovered to their peak state, they had no choice but to continue their journey!
During these two hours, besides checking and replenishing the magic power of the golem cards, Dark spent most of his time in the [Technique of the Shadow God] state.
Aurora, who had full trust in him, went directly into deep sleep.
Cain, Angrey, and the [Twin Holy Knights], who were originally still recovering from injuries, chose deep sleep after initial caution to fully recover their bodies.
About an hour into their rest, the [Magical Beast: Goddess of Heartful Eyes] suddenly sensed a divine aura approaching.
But upon learning this, Dark did not wake anyone up but calmly instructed the [Magical Beast: Goddess of Heartful Eyes] to continue observing.
Sure enough, the owner of the divine aura turned around in the church and quickly left.
It didn’t detect Dark and his group who were under the [Silent as an Ancient Tomb] aura.
However, even though it left, Dark wasn’t going to let it go. The two-hour rest period soon ended.
Without hesitation, Dark woke everyone up from their sleep and said directly, “An hour ago, my golem sensed a divine aura approaching. I suspect it might be the [Monster Angel] chasing Emily.”
Upon hearing the whereabouts of the [Monster Angel], Emily Grantham’s face involuntarily paled, and Albert couldn’t help but feel nervous.
Clearly, that [Monster Angel] which had driven them into a desperate situation had left a profound shadow in their hearts.
“I know you don’t want to face it,” Dark said solemnly. “But if we want to gather twelve gold medals and eliminate that [Monster Angel], it has become a necessary task. Of course, we can also bypass collecting the gold medals and head straight to the [Endymion Tower]. Climbing the [Endymion Tower] should allow us to obtain some truth.”
Principal Altair is likely at the top of that tower too. Dark did not voice this last sentence.
His initial thought was to go straight to the [Endymion Tower] without the gold medals, find, and rescue Principal Altair.
But after gathering more information, he changed his mind. There was no point in rushing.
They were clearly part of a larger scheme, with someone manipulating the game from behind the scenes. If they failed to collect all the gold medals as intended,
they wouldn’t be able to reach the core of this game, nor could they bypass the one pulling the strings to see Principal Altair.
In this situation, he ultimately chose to prioritize collecting the gold medals first.
Of course, he had another concern in his heart—the professors hadn’t shown any signs of entering the [Heavenly Realm] yet.
Without the professors by their side, it felt like they lacked a backbone. He had no confidence in facing one of the twelve gods, Hermes. Although Hermes was likely in a weak state.
But even a weakened god was stronger than a normal deity. He wasn’t foolish enough to challenge a god’s power at this moment.
Collecting the gold medals might buy time until the professors entered the [Heavenly Realm].
There were various thoughts like this to some extent…
…
After a brief discussion, Dark immediately began planning how to kill the [Monster Angel].
The [Monster Angel] had the special ability to track Emily Grantham.
Although this ability was hindered by the [Silent as an Ancient Tomb], once it moved, it would quickly discover Emily’s location.
Now that the [Mysterious Person] was dead,
if the [Monster Angel] had rationality and was allied with the [Mysterious Person],
it might seek revenge.
So, even if Dark didn’t list it as prey, it would eventually come after them, just a matter of time.
Since that was the case, why not take the initiative and thoroughly eliminate it when fully prepared!
The [Twin Holy Knights] and Olivia knew very well the strength of that [Monster Angel].
Though it had strong physical abilities and excellent regenerative powers, its overall combat capability was actually inferior to the [Mysterious Person].
Certainly, it was also far weaker than the [Six-Winged Angel] phantom, which never truly manifested.
Firstly, it hadn’t broken through the barrier between angels and gods.
It couldn’t condense a god’s core, although it could use divine power, which was mostly applied to a highly specialized purification ability.
This purification ability ensured its regeneration capability remained effective. To successfully kill it, they must first seal that purification ability, then suppress its other abilities, and finally… breach its defense!
