Chapter 263: Light and Darkness

Sila headed to the north Along the way, he spotted threetoward his allies He decided to conceal his presence and let theons he needed to eliminate o, and both of them were Lord Rank It was close to iiving the quest soht, the solution he had coh their health points were, they would still die if he pierced their hearts when they had their guard down

After he et any increase in power, Sila was more confident in his control In his current state, he was sure that even Goddess' Resonance wouldn't find hiht be disadvantageous against Goddess' Resonance However, Fla Cloud Qi wasn't the only power Sila possessed

Lord Rank dragons were supposed to be stronger than Lord Rankas Clute, as born in the Monster Realth The method he used to conceal his presence was adapted froht Pythia the Wind Dragon on the Island of Beginnings, Viola had used Divine Raie by covering himself with a layer of the ability, not directly on his skin but one millimeter above it He then created yet another layer of Divine Raiment directly on his skin and flipped its side of protection,his power, the sound of his heartbeat, or the sound of blood flowing through his veins—wouldn't leak outside As long as someone didn't spot Sila with their own eyes, they wouldn't be aware of his presence even if he was right next to theht as a feather, quietly leaping through the canyon and finally arriving at a certain old teave off an ancient vibe It see carved stone and holding it together using vines and roots growing naturally The at that just stepping inside without perravest sin

The entrance of the teon foraze around to ensure that no one was there before soaring up to a wooden franet

Sila wanted to knoas inside, but he didn't possess inhu like Himeko He also didn't dare to expand his profound sense to search as that would instantly give away his location In the end, he chose to

Past the entrance was a long, wide corridor that stretched further than his eyes could see On both sides of the corridor were several unlit lanterns, lined up all the way down the corridor The interior had enough lighting due to s around with the support ofthe wooden bea as they didn't look up at the ceiling

The corridor was unbelievably long Given Sila's speed, he had gone far enough inside for him to not see the entrance anymore in just a fewcould be seen at all, aside fro fla a trick on hiht it was due to hiht with qi toothat he had experienced so like this before

He went even further, then started to doubt his sense of direction He wasn't sure that he was heading in the right direction anyht path

'Ah! I see This is an illusion' Sila finally recalled that the feeling he got was fa to the Fairy Kingdoh, while he only felt a subtle discomfort in this place That ihteningly high Even Moon Reflecting Mirror couldn't help him detect it

TheMirror, a stone wall appeared in front of him, four meters away He turned back and saw that the entrance was only a hundred meters behind him, which was totally weird since he felt he had traveled a lot further than that

Inspecting his surroundings, Sila found it was very unreasonable There was only the stone wall blocking him while the entrance was behind his back There was no crossroad or side path This te but a dead end

Sila stroked the wall and found that rather than calling it a wall, it was a giant boulder He also felt Infernee'sup and down, left and right, Sila only saw stone plates There didn't see Sila didn't dare to make any loud noises After he had calmed his mind, he decided to launch Genesis Punch at the stone wall in front of him

Genesis Punch worked silently as always Sila had properly controlled his power so that his punch would drill a sh room for hi through the thick wall, Sila arrived in another wide corridor He quickly crawled to the ceiling before observing There were dragon statues, with different kinds and species, lined up along each side of the corridor

The further he went, the brighter it became Therefore, Sila slowed down his speed and beca at the end of the second corridor, Sila found a room Much like the parts of the temple he had seen so far, the room was incredibly wide, to the point where he couldn't see the corners The atmosphere was calazebo In the azebo's floor was a clear pool that was e down into the pool were stone steps, descending all the way to the bottoave off a vibe sidouess was on the mark This place was the Sacred Teon players would have to enter this place in order to read the Dragon's Record inside the gazebo and select the kind of dragon they wanted to becoon Ritual The ones who protected this place were none other than two greatest nobles of the dragon race—Aurora and Tia illusion-type protection at the very entrance of the teon race could pass through it without a probleazebo Once they selected their desired dragon, they would have to exit the gazebo and search the corridor for the statue of that particular dragon, then place their blood on it

Later when they completed the ritual, they would have to come back to this place to bathe their bodies in the Sacred Pool and receive their rewards Their Dragon Scales would transforranted the right to learn the spells of that dragon Additionally, they would acquire Dragon Doh, as the player wouldn't have to coon Empress, her ability transcended Aurora and Tiamat She could directly trans her Ritual so long as they were somewhere in the New World

However, for those who didn't belong to the dragon race, the illusion would imprison thes of other races to infiltrate this sacred place

Even the Slime Guardians—Poluk, Viola, and Divine—didn't have what it takes to enter the Sacred Temple That hy they said they couldn't capture Aurora or Tiaon existences with the qualifications to step into this place One of the tas the Sli, and the other one was Sila

The reason for that was sion, one must possess all three slime-raced skills as a prerequisite At the entrance, one ic Sila had been using it since before he arrived, so he was unaware that all of his senses—including his sense of tier—would have beentheh for the Mirror was required to find an exit For the record, the numerical value of illusion's poas infinity Moon Reflecting Mirror's passive ability could reduce its effectiveness by fifty percent, but half of infinity is still infinity That hy Sila couldn't see through it like the tiht discomfort

Even when the illusion was dismissed, the wallfor the intruder It could only be seen and touched by non-dragon beings If Sila didn't break it with the power that could reduce objects to molecular units, like Genesis Punch, it would autoenerate at an incredible speed Furtherer several traps

Sila juazebo in one go He looked down and spotted a book on a podiues were blank As he would later find out, the reason he couldn't read the contents of the Dragon's Record was because he wasn't a on race

In any case, Sila was ets that were supposed to be here He hadn't seen a single dragon ever since he stepped foot into this place Himeko's dark art shouldn't have made an error The distance from where she was to the location of the temple was also exactly as she had told hions must be somewhere around here He just hadn't found them yet

Suddenly, s ripples Sila quickly flattened his body against the gazebo's ceiling Soon, two dragons came out from beneath the surface Sila felt both happy and thrilled, resisting the urge to look down and see their appearances

”I heard hudo Device to invade us ThisHe is the only one to have received an Invitation Card from us” A hoarse voice was heard, but Sila could tell that the voice's owner must be female

”If this invasion is really his work, then his target s ahead, he must have arrived at this teot trapped in the illusion?” Another voice rang out The oas also a woh her voice sounded sweeter

'That's weird I re athis point, Sila had no one but himself to blame He didn't have a proper look at Tiamat or research his opponents beforehand Not only was Tiaon, but she also went by another title—Mother of Evil Dragons Thus, it didn't matter how masculine she appeared to be, she was undoubtedly a feht posture while her body was covered by thick arender

Tiamat replied to Aurora, ”You have a point Let's take a look”
