780 The Silver Moons Announcemen (1/2)
The windows in Natravos' magic tower were in the classic style of the ancient Magic Empire. They were on the upper part of every level, narrow and unframed, as if they were directly embedded into the wall. The complicated panes formed all kinds of mysterious magic patterns.
Even during the day, the sun could barely reach into the magic tower because of the location and size of the windows and the blockage of the panes. As a result, the inside of the magic tower was always dim, dark, and horrifying, exactly like the impression of the ancient sorcerers in ordinary people's minds.
However, at this moment, the cold moonlight broke the everlasting dimness inside the magic tower, spraying pure and peaceful silver brightness on the fallen walls, the remains of the floor, and everyone's body.
The moonlight fell exactly on the place where Danisos was at. Having unfolded his body which was hundreds of meters long, he was flapping his enormous wings, spinning the rings of black scales, and opening his mouth to cast the unbelievably fast spells, when his back that was close to his head emitted a silver light under the moon.
Hooooooo!
The primordial dragon of time's dragon-tongued magic was directly disrupted. His thick neck raised high, and he roared in extreme pain.
On his back, where the silver moonlight gathered, a beautiful ”girl”, whose blond long hair was tied on one side, appeared. Half squatting, she held a silver longsword and stabbed it into Danisos' back brutally, without the slightest emotion in her crimson eyes.
Where the silver longsword stabbed into, a cluster of transparent blood erupted, exactly like the famous spring in Rentato City Square.
When the blood dropped on the floor, it did not mix with the dust at all. Instead, it rolled on the ground like mercury, uncontaminated!
Hooooooo!
Danisos' painful roar was his dying struggle. His body shook violently, and all his gray scales emanated ripples of light. The black circles that looked like rings expanded and stood up. Immediately, the space and time around him were slowed to the minimum. All the legends were slowed down as if they were performing a play. The mist and the bolts of lightning were frozen to a consistency like gel.
However, no matter how Danisos struggled and resisted, the light of the silver moon was still shining on his back, and the hazy, beautiful shadow was still squatting; her hands that were holding the silver longsword did not move at all. A black fire started to appear on the longsword, and unimaginably complicated symbols began to flow in it and inject into Danisos' body!
It was Alterna, the God of Silver Moon!
The Demogorgon of Darkness' eyes that were constantly changing colors were frozen. He was a top legend and the ”master” of a demiplane, and he was far away from the battle. Therefore, he was not affected by Danisos' dying outbursts, but he could sense the condescending indifference directly. Even though Alterna did not look at him, a pair of crimson eyes popped up in his head coldly.
Goddamn Dracula, didn't you say that the Silver Moon was somewhere around the Boundless Ocean? Wasn't she conspiring with the Lord of Hell to deal with Pope Viken?
Also, why is the Silver Moon helping the Demogorgon of Eyes and the Six-Armed Inquisitor? I have three vampire princes on my side, who are her loyal supporters. Killing the enemy will not influence her at all! Even though she wants to save the werewolves, she doesn't have to be so intense, does she?
Judging from the timing of her attack, she seems to have been taking advantage of it all the time!
Gonheim had no doubt that the Silver Moon had arrived in person at this moment!
What should he do?
Ask Dracula to keep Lucien Evans occupied so that he could save Danisos and resist the Silver Moon together with him? As long as they could stop her for a couple of minutes, it would be enough for the ”Mastermind” to arrive in the body of the Elder Mind and kill all the other legends.
However, Danisos had been directly hit by the Silver Moon's Sword of Origin and Destiny. He would be disabled if not dead. How long could he stall the Silver Moon after he was saved? If Gonheim was mired here, he might be unable to escape!
So, should he give up the chance and run away immediately?
As the demon who was most similar to devils, Gonheim certainly had the nature of devils. He liked to consider the pros and cons. When there were greater dangers or temptations, he would abandon or betray his partners without any hesitation. As for contracts and oaths, he was certainly cunning enough to keep loopholes for himself. Besides, there were few witnesses who could guarantee such contracts. There might be no losses at all even if he betrayed him.
Thinking quickly, Gonheim weighed the risks and returns. Of course, he knew that it was an urgent matter and that he had to make up his mind quickly whether to run or to save his ally.
However, at this moment, below another narrow window, David, who had passed out because of the battle of legends, floated up. His hair became as silver as the moon, and he smiled at the Demogorgon of Darkness.
It was Rhine, the Observer!
Gonheim saw that David's face turned handsome and weird, with two enormous black bat wings unfolded on his back. He was exactly the Silver-Eyed Count!
”When did you replace him?” Gonheim asked solemnly.
David was an important part of his plan. So, he had corrupted the guy a long time ago. He stopped paying attention to him after Natravos was killed and asked him to deliver the message. Little did he anticipate that David would turn into Rhine at some point.
Rhine smiled but did not say anything. He raised his right hand, as if he were the conductor of a concert. Together with his movement, a tall and cold moon rose out of the narrow window behind him.
This time, instead of summoning the Silver Moon, he had created a moon of his own with his strength.
His strength had been greatly improved too… The Demogorgon of Darkness made a decision after seeing that. He had decided to surpass Rhine and escape back into the abyss.
Therefore, the darkness arrived. Weak, barely perceivable light raged inside, creating the frigidity that felt like the end of the universe. It was the lonely and lifeless darkness that did not have any temperature. It was the purest and most devastating darkness!
