The villainous young master just wants to live a Buddhist-like life.

　Dark sighed inwardly and said, "This time, I must go. And I've already made an appointment with Professor Melno; he'll be returning to the classroom temporarily. If Professor Lily also wants to go, I can recommend Professor Yorkz; he teaches math in elective courses."

　Professor Lily rolled her eyes at him and said, "Then I'll go see him tonight." Dark had shown his intention to go along long ago. Although Professor Sylph and Professor Cazell did not want him to join the adventure, they also knew that they could not change Dark's mind.

　Moreover, if Dark could accompany him, it would certainly be a great help. Especially after he successfully forged "Shaymi," the professors would have no reason to stop him from going.

　“Let me make this clear first,” Ollie said. “We do not agree in principle to the young master’s participation in this operation. But since we cannot change his mind, we can only accompany him. So, Chris, Trina, and Angry will all come. As for Eve, she will stay here.”

　Eve was immediately startled and quickly said, "Sister Ollie, that's not what you said before!"

　Auli said ruthlessly, "Chris has already tested it. Once you enter the Mountain of the Gods, your Spiritual Connection Technique will be ineffective. With your current abilities, traveling with you will only be a burden."

　Eve was deeply hurt by these blunt words, her face turned pale, and she fell silent.

　The atmosphere of the meeting thus became serious.

　“Nobody’s talking? Fine, I’ll speak then,” Professor Steven Harvey said. “I’m very interested in what might be inside the Mountain of the Gods, or even in the Heavenly Court. So, count me in.”

　“Then I will too…” Sister Kallian began.

　Professor Sylph used her "Interrupt" skill again: "Kallian stays at the academy, next."

　"Damn it!" Sister Kallian cursed inwardly before shutting her mouth. In truth, because Sister Kallian was at the academy, it was indeed difficult for her to leave.

　“Then it’s just me,” Ophelia said. “Without Sister Kallian, we’ll be one less healer. Take me with you.”

　Having relied on the academy for so long, Ophelia naturally wanted to contribute her own strength.

　Moreover, in most cases, the magical spirit's healing ultimate skills are simply brute-force healing methods that infuse life force, and cannot cope with all situations.

　A qualified therapist remains important to the team.

　In addition, although Ollie is also a healer, she clearly prioritizes protecting Dark.

　More therapists mean more lives. Besides, none of them are weak.

　After returning from her vacation, Ophelia reflected on her own inadequacy and did a lot of work on it, which greatly improved her.

　However, after obtaining Professor Sylph's consent, Ophelia suggested, "Regarding this operation, I actually have another candidate I'd like to recommend."

　Professor Sylph said, "Tell me about it."

　Ophelia said, "Hephaestus! I'd like to recommend Hephaestus!" "Hephaestus? Doragon?" Professor Sylph asked, somewhat surprised. "Is her current power still sufficient?"

　Ophelia said, "She has a good daughter." Professor Sylph said, "It seems you have both made progress."

　Ophelia said, "Without Professor Jones, we need a replacement, and Hephaestus is the best choice."

　Sylph hesitated, "She is indeed a very good choice. But the operation is far too dangerous... and she also holds the title of professor for the first year."

　Ophelia said, "First-year Warcraft Studies doesn't require weekly classes. She'll agree."

　Professor Sylph nodded and said, "I knew she would agree, but this operation is extremely dangerous, it's no exaggeration to say it's a matter of life and death. We have no reason to let her take the risk as well."

　Ophelia said, "That's true."

　Professor Sylph said, "So that proposal is rejected. Now that the candidates are basically decided, let's discuss it."

　The team selected for this rescue operation, in order, is: Professor Sylph, Professor Cazell, Professor Mitya, Professor Lily, Professor Harvey, Ophelia, Dark, Ollie, Chris, Angel, Trina, and Aurora, Ergane, and Nix, who are expected to participate.

　This group of fourteen people basically represents the strongest fighting force that St. Mary's Academy can immediately muster at this moment.

　As for the retired professors, Professor Sylph had no intention of bothering them.

　After the team members were selected, they immediately began discussing the action plan. In short, they divided the fourteen-person team into several smaller groups to ensure timely support in critical moments.

　First, Dark, Ori, and Aurora will definitely be a group, and they will be protected as the core in the middle of the team, while "Serpent God" Nix will be an accessory to this group.

　Secondly, Professors Kazel, Ergani, and Harvey will form a group, and they will be the core researchers.

　Then, Professor Sylph, Chris, and Lily formed a group, and they were responsible for security and reconnaissance.

　Finally, Professor Medea and Ophelia are in one group, and they are the support roles.

　As for Trina and Angeli, they are the combatants... but everyone here except Aurora is also a combatant!

　Trina and Angry's true role can only be that of Dark Dimon's protectors.

　Overall, the team's role allocation is fairly reasonable. However, they are indeed missing a main tank (MT).

　We can only have "Snake Goddess" Nix make a cameo appearance.

　Fortunately, everyone here is a mage. Although they don't have the same powerful direct combat ability as Professor Jones, they have corresponding magical spirits to fill in the gaps.

　The problem is not big.

　During this meeting, they also completed a small experiment. The experiment proved that "Serpent Goddess" Nix has no ability to control pollutants. However, her authority integrated into her physical body can "assimilate" ordinary pollutants!

　The mechanisms involved are simply impossible to explain.

　In any case, Nix can assimilate pollutants, including No. 10, into her black oil!

　As for her other ability—"devouring"—it has never been tested. Nix clearly doesn't want to eat things of unknown origin. She's a delicate herbivorous snake…

　Time flew by, and by six o'clock in the evening, most of what needed to be explained had been explained.

　Taking this opportunity, Darke revealed his accidental discovery.

　Professor Sylph exclaimed in astonishment, "You mean, the other soul within 'Saint' Audrey Joan of Arc might be the soul of the God of War?" Darke continued, "Even if not, it's highly likely to be a subordinate deity of the God of War. But judging from the circumstances at the time, that soul was clearly not awake. I suspect the Holy Mystic Academy's purpose in coming here is related to this."

　Professor Cazell said, "Does he want to awaken that soul, or does he have other plans?"

　Professor Sylph turned to Professor Jones and said, "Pava, this matter is now in your hands."

　Professor Jones replied solemnly, "I understand."

　While the matter of the second soul within the "Saintess" is important, it is not something that urgently needs to be considered at the moment.

　After exchanging a few more words, everyone dispersed.

　Night is falling, and they will be setting off tomorrow, so they need to make the most of this last night.

　After leaving the underwater space, Dark arrived at the Magical Animals Club with Ollie and the others.

　He summoned the "Soul of the Moon Goddess" and commanded it to summon the "Chariot of the Moon Goddess".

　Meanwhile, Aurora was assisting Professor Cazell in examining "Serpent Goddess" Nix.

　Essentially, she has become Nix's guardian.

　After mimicking a human, Nix lost her constant urge to sleep and became very similar to a normal person in terms of her ecology.

　It stayed close to Aurora like a chick just hatched from its egg, never leaving her side.

　Once this matter is over, if they can all return safely, Nix will most likely go to school with Aurora as her sister.

　Then, Aurora will really have an extra tagalong.

　Meanwhile, Ergani did not leave the bottom of the lake; she and Professor Harvey were processing the snake skin that Nix had shed!

　The remains left behind by a deity upon mortal transformation contain a very special power. If this power can be effectively utilized, it will undoubtedly become a great asset.

　Spiral Clock Tower, Fantastic Beasts Society.

　Dark and Aoli, along with the others, arrived at the Jiang family's place. Curious magical elves also followed. Chris casually cast a shadow over the area, concealing her presence. The [Soul of the Moon Goddess] floated in mid-air, solemnly.

　Having been holding back all day, it was eager to test its abilities after its armed evolution.

　Dark took out his magic card, glanced at the group of eager magical spirits around him, and finally decided to go himself.

　This is, after all, the first time for "Soul of the Moon Goddess 2L", and he needs to savor it more carefully.

　"Are you ready?" he asked.

　The "Soul of the Moon Goddess" floated over and swayed smugly in front of him a few times.

　Dark glared at it, then held "Soul of the Moon Goddess 2i" between two fingers and chanted softly: "The gathered prayers will become the newborn silver moon, transform into a shining silver moon, Armed Evolution—Moon Goddess!"

　The smile of "Soul of the Moon Goddess" vanished instantly, and a dazzling silver light shone from the Moon Goddess Mirror in its heart. Its body, which had already transformed into a magical spirit, became transparent and ethereal, bypassing the intermediate stage of transforming into "Divine Armament? Moon Goddess", and embraced Dark's body.

　As their bodies overlapped, Dark instantly felt an incomparably pure power surge into his heart, and the "Moon God Mirror" overlapped with his heart, turning to face him.

　In a sudden flash of inspiration, he opened his arms and whispered, "Armor - Evolution!"

　Then, an even stronger silver light burst forth from the "Moon Goddess Mirror," instantly enveloping his entire body.

　The phantom of the "Soul of the Moon Goddess" reappeared from behind him, opening its arms and gently embracing him.

　His body underwent a dramatic change while enveloped in that intense silver light.

　This is essentially not much different from the feeling of using "Moon Goddess Soul i" for armed evolution.

　The difference lies only in the level of power.

　As Dark's body transformed into an adult form, pieces of silver armor, disassembled from the Luna Armor, emerged one by one.

　Dark released his senses, carefully sensing the changes in each piece of armor, and gradually grasped the changes within them.

　"I see."

　He muttered something under his breath and quickly got dressed.

　When he stood on the ground again, he was in his armed evolved form.

　The Armed Evolution Form of "Luna Soul 2" is not significantly different in appearance from the Armed Evolution Form of "Luna Soul 1".

　The overall design remains the same, with a slender body encased in light, silver-white armor. The columnar sensors on the ears and the V-shaped facial structure are also unchanged.

　However, the lips and chin that were originally exposed were now completely covered by the mask.

　The heart-protecting mirror, which was transformed from the "Moon Goddess Mirror," became even more transparent.

　There are shallower lines extending from the edge of the "Moon Goddess Mirror" and spreading across the entire half of the body like moonlight.

　As soon as Dak bent his knees slightly, he could feel a powerful force gathering beneath his feet, as if releasing it would allow him to soar into the sky!

　The three attributes of this second-stage [Moon God (Divine Weapon)] are even stronger than those of the first-stage [Night Tiger God (Divine Weapon)].

　Moreover, he could clearly feel divine power surging within his body.

　It was that divine power that gave this armed form an amplified ability to grow.

　Squint and savor the moment.

　Suddenly, Dark reached out, and a silvery-white liquid of light flowed from the "Mirror of the Moon Goddess," flowing down his arm to his palm, where it transformed into the "Bow of the Moon Goddess"!

　This "Bow of the Moon Goddess" is formed from pure magical energy and is completely connected to the body, avoiding unnecessary consumption of magical energy. However, it does not amplify the attack power of the "Arrow of the Moon Goddess".

　Dark held the bow in his left hand and placed his right hand on the bowstring. Magic surged, drawing moonlight into his right hand to form an "Arrow of the Moon Goddess".

　The arrow was already nocked and suddenly released.

　The moonlight was like water, clear and bright.

　"boom!"

　The arrow transformed into magical starlight the instant it sprang back from the bowstring, then vanished in an instant. A glint of light flashed in Dark's eyes.

　Just now, he discovered that more spiritual energy could be infused into the "Arrow of the Moon Goddess," thereby enhancing the spiritual deterrence associated with the arrow.

　Moreover, he could clearly feel that the fire of the soul was being infused into it as a spiritual force.

　This transformed the "Arrow of the Moon Goddess" into the "Arrow of the Mind"! In his evolved state as the "Moon Goddess," he could not use his own physical power. However, his mental and spiritual power remained unaffected.

　He pondered for a moment, then drew his bow again, and a new "Moon Goddess Arrow" materialized in his palm.

　But that "Arrow of the Moon" shimmered with a pale pink light. That was the light of "Elysium"!

　"This arrow will cause the target to die in ecstasy!"

　Dark thought to himself, making a childish statement, and then dispersed the "Arrow of the Moon Goddess".

　He then focused his attention on the final ultimate move of [Moon God (Divine Armament)].

　"Come forth, Moon Goddess's chariot!"

　As he called out, swirling ripples spread through the void.

　A black horse with a silver-black horn emerged from the ripples.

　Its head has clear lines and its eyes exude sharpness; one can see its divine nature just from its head.

　Immediately afterwards, the head of a second unicorn emerged from the ripples on the other side.

　Suddenly, the two horses accelerated and galloped out of the void. Indeed, they were large, muscular, and incredibly magnificent! Their foreheads and backs were covered in silver-black metallic armor. The hooves gleamed with a silvery light, like silvery flames billowing behind them. And the carriage they pulled was even more splendid.
