Chapter 669 - Time to Risk Lives! (2/2)
After rolling to a stop, Link immediately started screaming like a dying pig, “Mighty God, mighty god! I’ll tell you! Don’t kill me!”
Morpheus huffed. “No more nonsense. I usually don’t give second chances!”
Link subtly looked at Dylosen. Seeing that he was still focused, Link knew he hadn’t found Morpheus. Link couldn’t find him either.
In the game, he found Morpheus mostly thanks to the Ethereals. The Ethereal Warriors had mutinied and forced Morpheus into the Shadow Fortress. But here, because of Ferde’s capturing, the Ethereals were almost extinct. Morpheus naturally didn’t have pressure from them. As for where he was now, Link had no clue.
Seeing that Morpheus’ patience was at the limit, Link spoke faster. “We still lost the deer in the end, but we happened to see a Warrior chasing a Magician deep in the woods.”
He was completely BS-ing. He only had one goal: drag things out.
“Warrior? Magician?” Morpheus’ brows furrowed. “Tell me what they look like. If they could have the Celestial Stone, they must be powerful. The Warrior was probably a Legendary Warrior. The Magician must be a master too.”
Link recalled in detail. “The Warrior wore a gold and red robe. It looked weird. I can’t explain it. He was so fast too, just like lightning. He just flashed by. We heard the Magician say, ‘Here you go, all for you.’ And then he tossed something down, but the Warrior didn’t want it. He cut it with his sword and then started chasing the Magician again. They disappeared so fast. We waited a long time before we dared to go look. After looking around, we found half of the statue, but couldn’t find the other half.”
Eliard followed up. “The statue is so pretty. After we got it, we were scared the Warrior would look for trouble. We obviously couldn’t stay in Grinth anymore. We wanted to sell it in the Southern black market. And then… and then we got captured and got brought here.”
Hearing this, Morpheus fell silent. If it was a Warrior with a gold and red battle robe and chased a Magician with a Celestial Stone all over the place… More importantly, he could cut the Celestial Stone with one move and make the cut so smooth. Just from that, he was sure the Warrior was at least Level-15.
These three were honestly so lucky to get this half. But according to their description, the other half should be in the Grinth Forest. They were just too scared to find it. They probably didn’t dare to spend too much time looking.
Thinking of this, Morpheus said, “Do you still remember where you found it?”
“Yes, yes,” Link hurriedly replied. “We grew up in the Grinth Forest. We can find our way with our eyes closed. Liard, Dylo, right?”
“Oh, good.” Morpheus suddenly looked to Link. “You said that you want to convert?”
Link froze. Glancing at Dylosen from the corner of his eyes and seeing that the man was still silent, he panicked a bit. What was with Dylosen? Did he still not find Morpheus? It was getting serious. Though he was panicking inside, Link nodded hurriedly. “Yes, yes. Mighty god, it would be my biggest honor to become your believer.”
“Oh, then I will perform the ritual now…” Morpheus’ image raised a hand. An emblem with dark light appeared in his palm. He was about to press it down onto Link’s forehead.
Just then, Dylosen’s hands twitched. The gesture meant that he’d found Morpheus.
Link’s eyes flashed. This meant that the divine gear could be activated and they could act. Now, Morpheus’ hand was about to land, but Link obviously wouldn’t allow it. He suddenly raised a hand. A shred of moonlight flashed and dissipated the projection!
Link couldn’t defeat Morpheus’ true self, but this was just a projection. It was nothing.
As soon as the projection was gone, Dylosen acted.
Fiery-red light radiated from his left arm. It grew brighter, and half a second later, his entire arm flew off. It curled into a silver-red disc. This was the divine gear he’d brought: Chaotic Moon.
Chaotic Moon
Level-19 Legendary Pinnacle Divine Gear
Effect: It took the Snow Mountain Archmage three years to create. After activating, it will use the chaotic Void power and force the opponent to Level-5. It can last from 10 seconds to one hour.
(Note: Knowledge is power!)
“Go!” Dylosen yelled. The air around them shook and rippled. The silver disc spun and whooshed, disappearing into the sky.
Half a second later, a roar boomed from around ten miles away. “Die! Everyone must die!”
The voice was aggressive and furious, but to Link’s group, it sounded weak.
“The divine gear is activated!” Dylosen yelled. “We have ten seconds!”
Within ten seconds, they either get the Divine Fragment, or they die. It was time to risk their lives!
