Chapter 337 Ougel (1/2)

With the tall human-like being with two heads reflected on top of the white crystal layer, the shroud stopped moving before slowly converging toward it.

The flowing water suddenly condensed into black ice. The Divine Dungeon Shroud, which was formed through thoughts, could not think on its own at first. But suddenly, it gained its own will, consolidated itself and formed its own skeletal frame.

Next to the Avenue of Truth, Nostradamus sighed. He understood that the changes of the shroud and the meaning behind it. The white-haired mage took out his staff and cast a spell. He frowned and murmured, ”The chaotic thoughts are forming into one entity. Now, the exact space coordination still cannot be forecasted. However, when the phenomenon is compared to the chaos that was created previously, this seemed to be born from the concealed mind of a person.”

”What has Joshua done?”

The nun at the side also noticed the abnormal occurrence.

Saya was the Great Nun of the Second Regiment of Battle Monks of Glaydon Abbey. Despite being not very popular, those that knew of them still respected them no matter how much they hated the church.

Regardless of the past, the most recent dragon invasion was almost completely annihilated by the flying squad [Glaydon Sacred Chorus], which was the first regiment of Glaydon Abbey.

This was an organization that does not get involved with human matters. They were a team which focused only on the issues regarding Chaos daemons and the Dark Tide. They had contributed a lot in the expansion operations into the Dark Forest with the kingdoms in the Far South and the nations in the West Mountains. Whenever a Dark Tide could not be handled by the local authority, they would ask for their assistance.

Saya led the second regiment around the young age of twenty as her gift was exceptional. Nostradamus excelled in the dimensional arts, thus he could easily deduce the nature of the black shroud. His sister's capabilities were far from his, yet she was able to utilize her spells and gift to sense the changes in the shroud.

”A divine being has appeared?”

Her eyes were blindfolded. However, with her gift alone, her field of vision was greater than a normal human. She was able to 'see' the movement of energy, thoughts and the color of life.

Red represents anger; blue represents calmness; black represents despair; green represents happiness. The life force of normal human was dim gray. When their life force is stronger, they glow brighter. The lights of the city guards were dim orange which means they were not strong in the first place and were nervous and excited at the same time. Nostradamus was covered in blue light which represented his current calmness.

There was a golden light shining brightly like the sun from Morlaix Palace at the center of the Imperial City. The light covered the Avenue of Truth. This meant that although the emperor was not there physically, he could still look over the Kingdom. If anything bad were to happen, he could immediately try to solve the issue.

But the light beneath the Royal Mage Guild was even more special.

In front of the bright blue light which represented Joshua, there was the light of chaos of unclear color. It seemed translucent. It felt like it did not exist in the first place. Saya knew that it represented divine power. She was powerless against this. The bearer of the divinity had some resistance towards her power. There was this trait within Joshua, yet the existence in front of him was completely different.

It may be the existence which escaped from the Chest of Erebus.

Saya did not think any further after wondering about such possibility.

Joshua was extremely calm when faced with such existence and she, on the other hand, had no reason to be flustered. The ancient divine existence had been sealed within the chest for at least a thousand years. It was no doubt that its power was at its weakest. In addition to her current status as a gold-tier apostle instructor, she was capable of protecting herself from any danger. After knowing the nature of the black shroud, she did not charge in blindly like Robzek.

”Hmm... Are they... Are they communicating with each other?” Saya was shocked to learn that Joshua had already established communication with the unknown divine presence. There was no sign of combat between them.

In the second underground experimental room of the Royal Mage Guild.
