Chapter 979: Accelerating Silence in the Sewer (4k)
【Deoxys】 finally shook its head and said, “There shouldn’t be.”
“Since that’s the case, we’ll follow this waterway upstream!” Dark made his decision.
Afterwards, he boarded the 【Chariot of the Moon Goddess】, racing at an extremely high speed above the water.
In this place that heavily tested driving skills, the 【Fairy Tale Animal·Little Rabbit】 had rosy cheeks from excitement, calling out “Mimi” as it utilized its innate driving skills.
Throughout this journey, they only paused temporarily to handle situations when encountering obstacles or witnessing the flow of divine energy.
This continued until half an hour later, when the cooldown for the 【Magical Beast: Destroyer God】’s 【Lost Prophecy】 was finally over.
The carriage came to a temporary halt.
The 【Magical Beast: Destroyer God】 closed its eyes and cast the 【Lost Prophecy】. After a moment, it suddenly opened its eyes, pointing in the same direction and saying, “The same direction, but the distance has shortened. However…”
Dark asked, “However what?”
The 【Magical Beast: Destroyer God】 squinted and said, “Based on our current progress, it seems she hasn’t made significant movements since the last prophecy.”
Dark frowned deeply and said, “So you mean Olivia is trapped somewhere?”
The 【Magical Beast: Destroyer God】 replied, “I didn’t say that; you interpret it yourself.”
Dark knew further questioning would be futile, so he ordered the 【Fairy Tale Animal·Little Rabbit】 to set off immediately and accelerate.
At this moment, the progress of the 【Ancient Power】 of the 【Fossil Winged Dragon】 had reached 95%, with just 5% left to complete it. However, filling that final 5% proved unexpectedly difficult.
【(Demon King·Eldridge)】 used the 【Devourer】 to absorb more ultimate skills, retaining two after screening.
Cain Burns finally showed some signs of awakening after such a long sleep.
And after using the 【Lost Prophecy】 to deduce Olivia’s situation, the three people from the Mana Academy became increasingly worried.
They no longer stopped midway and pushed forward vigorously, eventually arriving at the location where the 【Water Angel】 awakened.
The 【Chariot of the Moon Goddess】 had to stop. Dark pushed open the carriage door and observed with a frown.
The initial awakening of the 【Water Angel】 took place before a sluice gate. The entire gate was made of special metal, with a massive thick gate descending from the front, leaving only a gap of several centimeters wide.
The water in this sewer flowed through that gap, along with the sacred aura of the 【Angel】! That aura was initially shocking.
But upon calming down and perceiving carefully, one could detect a unique quality to it.
Just like how natural flowers and sprayed perfume have different scents, the aura of the 【Angels】 resembled the scent of artificial flowers.
Moreover, for the 【Magical Beast: Goddess of Heartful Eyes】 capable of seeing the flow of divine energy, it clearly pointed out, “Each trace of aura is not intense, which makes them appear startling at first glance due to their sheer number. In reality, they are not located nearby.”
After saying this, it looked towards 【Deoxys】.
Dark followed its gaze and saw that 【Deoxys】 was tugging at its tail, with a furrowed brow.
It turned out that the 【Sacred Ring (Subordinate)】 on its tail was violently shaking, causing its tail to tremble as well.
From the fountain pool all the way to this sluice gate, the transformed 【Water Angel】 could no longer bear the fear and frustration within its heart, violently shaking.
Even having become a “dead object,” it couldn’t fully calm down. The closer it got, the stronger its rejection became. If it moved any further, it might have to pull against the 【Deoxys】!
“哺?” 【Deoxys】 looked at Dark with rare pleading in its eyes.
Dark frowned and said, “If there’s truly no other way, we can only temporarily seal it.”
“Seal?” 【Deoxys】 actually communicated solemnly with the 【Water Angel】.
Surprisingly, the result was unexpected. Upon understanding the meaning of sealing, the 【Water Angel】 primarily requested to be sealed!
Dark finally felt the extent of its fear of returning to the place behind the sluice gate.
He took out a reserved 【Ball of Truth】 from his backpack and looked at 【Deoxys】.
【Deoxys】 pulled the 【Sacred Ring (Subordinate)】 off its tail and handed it to Dark without hesitation.
Dark took the 【Sacred Ring (Subordinate)】, sensing the aura and trembling frequency of the 【Water Angel】, then sealed it inside the 【Ball of Truth].
The 【Water Angel】 entered the 【Ball of Truth], finally settling down. Dark put the 【Ball of Truth】 back into his backpack and said, “We must rely on ourselves now.”
【Deoxys】 shook its head and said, “The help it could provide ends here. It knows nothing about what lies beyond this gate.”
Dark said, “In any case, let’s proceed cautiously.”
Angrey said, “The gate isn’t tightly shut. We should first send a golem to sneak in and observe the situation behind the gate before deciding.”
Dark nodded and said, “The water isn’t deep. We don’t need anyone who can swim; any small-sized golem will do… I wonder if a ghost-type golem can penetrate this gate?”
“啪叽!啪叽!” A 【Imp Beast】 flew from left to right in front of him.
Dark said, “Or like a 【Mana Spirit】, capable of directly passing through walls… I wonder if a ghost-type golem can pass through this gate?”
“啪叽!啪叽!” Another 【Imp Beast】 flew from right to left in front of him.
Dark began summoning: “By the name of Dark Diemont, Mana Summoning—【Mana Spirit】.”
As the 【Mana Spirit】 was summoned, Dark gave it detailed instructions and sent it off with the 【Imp Beast】.
The 【Mana Spirit】 attempted to pass through the wall, but a special force flowed within both the gate and surrounding metal walls, preventing the ghost-type golem from penetrating.
The 【Mana Spirit】 had no choice but to enter through the gap beneath the gate along with the 【Imp Beast】.
Dark nervously perceived the status of the two golems. After several minutes, the 【Mana Spirit】 and 【Imp Beast】 finally returned.
The 【Imp Beast】 crawled out cautiously and said, “On the other side of the gate, there are two stone statues standing guard on either side. They seem like guards. Additionally, there isn’t just one gate here. From this point onward, there are three gates. Each gate is over two meters thick. Neither I nor Little Dreamy saw any mechanism to open the gates.”
“Three gates, guarded by sentinels… How do we plan to get past them?” Lucy Artemis, who had stepped down from the carriage, couldn’t help but ask.
