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

　Or perhaps, it's just that the statue doesn't exist.

　But no matter what, she was going to take the statue with her. Even if she misjudged it, she could just smash it open when the time came.

　Professor Mydia did not extract much "Aphrodite's Blood" from the statue. In comparison, it was only about half of the "Demeter's Blood" obtained by Dark and others, which was about six drops.

　However, since the Academy was in charge throughout the entire process, neither the Holy Church nor the Northern Region dared to come over and share the spoils.

　Therefore, Professor Mydia accepted all six drops of "Aphrodite's Blood" without any hesitation.

　In addition to the six drops of "Aphrodite's Blood", the academy also obtained Aphrodite's statue and the giant man-eating flower beast under the statue's control!

　Although that carnivorous giant beast was not as powerful as the "Green Angel," it still possessed the strength of an ordinary twelve-star magical spirit, and of course, its vitality far surpassed it.

　Given its enormous size, which is over ten meters tall, it would be a very competent meat shield.

　Ergane moved the statue of Aphrodite into the pumpkin carriage, tossed it into a corner, and took control of the carnivorous flower behemoth.

　The statue of Aphrodite is captivating even when it is not imbued with divine power.

　To avoid being affected by it, Aurora, once she regained her senses, found a black cloth and covered it from head to toe.

　Even so, the people in the carriage still felt an urge to look at it.

　The statue's allure has been maximized; almost all of its original divine power has been used to enhance it in this aspect.

　If it weren't for Ergani, their nemesis, almost everyone in the Holy Church and the Northern Region would have fallen before this statue.

　In this respect, it is actually no weaker than the "Flower of Demeter".

　It can only be said that their abilities are different and their development directions are not entirely the same.

　Because the members of the Holy Church and the Northern Region had expended too much energy in their confrontation with the statue, the group had to rest on the spot.

　They waited until most people had recovered before they rallied and continued on their way.

　Not long after, they emerged from the "flowerbed maze," as if the maze itself had never existed.

　When they left the "flowerbed maze" and looked back, all they could see was the surrounding fog.

　That "flower garden maze" has completely disappeared!

　"I see!"

　Upon reaching this point, Professor Mitis and the others finally realized what was going on.

　This "flowerbed maze" is different from the "Flower of Demeter" that Dark and his companions encountered.

　It wasn't just the statue of Aphrodite that absorbed the "blood of Aphrodite," but also the "flower garden labyrinth"!

　But they had already left the "flower maze," and the fragrance that had lured them there had completely disappeared. They could no longer find their way back into the "flower maze" and could only give up with regret.

　Professor Mitia looked up in the direction of the "Heavenly Court" entrance, squinted and calculated the time, then said in a low voice, "No wonder it felt much darker around us, it turns out it's already night."

　Before they knew it, the entire group had been in the Mountain of the Gods for over ten hours.

　As night fell, the light within the Mountain of the Gods grew ever dimmer.

　But for them, who were already shrouded in fog and unable to see properly, that was not a significant change.

　Walking through the Mountain of the Gods in the darkness, the surroundings seemed to become even quieter.

　It was not a comforting tranquility, but a deathly silence that concealed a great terror.

　After obtaining the "Netherworld Orb," Dark and his companions continued their journey through the darkness.

　The group boarded the "Storm Carpet," and Professor Sylph summoned the "Wind King" to clear the way, breaking through the fog at an extremely fast speed.

　"Magic Beast: Goddess of the Mind's Eye" sits at the front of the magic carpet, its third eye always open. The "Eye of God" pierces through the mist and darkness, seeing into the deepest depths.

　While reminding Professor Sylph to avoid the ferocious demonic beasts lurking along the way, it also searched for any possible divine aura.

　After a series of successive gains, they began to consciously search for objects that radiated divinity.

　However, they maintained their overall direction and did not detour or wander around in search of something radiating divinity.

　As night falls, the monsters within the Mountain of the Gods seem to grow even more ferocious. Upon encountering a monster they cannot avoid, the Twin Paladins will strike ruthlessly, slaying it with lightning speed.

　After more than an hour, they were getting closer and closer to the highest peak where the entrance to the "Heavenly Court" was located, but "Magic Beast: Goddess of the Mind's Eye" still could not detect any new traces of divine energy flow.

　As Dark and the others sat on the magic carpet, they talked and speculated about the possibility that there were at least twelve places on the Mountain of the Gods that contained divine objects.

　At the same time, concerns were also expressed about the situation of the main force on the other side.

　When they were quite close to the highest peak, they finally decided not to wait until they reached the entrance to the "Heavenly Court." Instead, they moved towards the planned route that the main force was continuing to advance.

　—If you encounter any difficult monsters along the way, you can deal with them to clear a path for the main force to advance quickly.

　With "Fantasy Beasts: God of Destruction" in existence, predicting the main force's route is not difficult.

　Professor Sylph manipulated the "Storm Carpet" slightly, and it quickly embarked on the predetermined route.

　Then, they were attacked in an indescribable way!

　If one could completely ignore the fog and see the entire Mountain of the Gods clearly at this moment, one would discover that the fog surrounding the highest peak has undergone a dramatic change.

　Originally, the fog was not much different from the fog in other areas inside. But now the fog is highly condensed, layer upon layer, and extremely thick.

　Within the swirling mist, it seemed as if a monstrous beast lurked, causing great disturbance. The arrival of Dark and his companions startled all the creatures in the area, and more and more "mist" rolled and gathered towards them.

　The number of "beasts" lurking in the fog is increasing.

　Without warning, the "Wind King," who was in charge of clearing the way, had his belly ripped open by one of the "beasts."

　The belly of the "Wind King" is the Wind King's barrier that surrounds the magic carpet and dispels the mist.

　With the barrier broken, invisible beasts, lurking within the mist, surged in. They remained hidden, their presence imperceptible, and even Professor Sylph's keen senses failed to detect them in time.

　The third eye of "Fantasy Beast: Goddess of the Mind's Eye" can penetrate the mist and see through illusions, but it also failed to detect their existence.

　They swirl with the mist, awaken in the darkness, and hunt down any creature that approaches that highest peak.

　Dak and his group ran right into the line of fire, as countless "Mist Beasts" continued to surge in from all directions.

　"Albert!"

　Bishop Sabrina Melville gave a command.

　Albert Grantham charged out alongside the "Sword Guardian Angel." The "Sword Guardian Angel," now in defensive form, held shields in both hands and stood at the forefront, immediately unleashing his ultimate attack, "Holy Light Shield."

　A divine light shone from the giant shield in his hand, instantly transforming into a massive wall of light.

　The invisible "Mist Beasts" crashed into the "Holy Light Shield" one after another, creating a deafening roar.

　The "Sword Guardian Angel" spread its wings to their fullest extent, desperately trying to withstand the "Mist Beast's" impact. But it was still forced back step by step, and countless cracks appeared on the "Holy Light Shield."

　"boom!"

　Suddenly, a deafening roar, like a giant hammer crashing onto the water's surface, resounded. The Holy Light Shield shattered into pieces.

　The "Sword Guardian Angel" could no longer hold on and flew backward. But Albert Grantham did not retreat but advanced.

　He not only had the blessing of "Holy Protection" on his body, but also a protective shield that resembled a "Holy Light Shield", which boosted his overall defense to the limit.

　He also couldn't see the "Mist Beast's" form, but through the attacks he absorbed with the "Holy Light Shield," he managed to grasp some general information by observation.

　He had undergone special training in fighting while blind. Although it couldn't fully apply to the current situation, it was still helpful.

　The most distinctive feature of the "Mist Beast" is that it is "invisible." Its form cannot be seen, and its aura cannot be sensed.

　That's their innate characteristic, not something granted by magic or other abilities.

　When fighting against this type of opponent, even abilities like "crisis warning" are difficult to trigger.

　Albert Grantham wielded the "Great Bright Sword" at high speed, making sure that the space around him was completely clear.

　From the perspective of Dark and others, his actions resembled wildly brandishing a sword.

　But the effect of doing so was quite good.

　Albert Grantham could clearly feel the "Great Bright Sword" touch a physical object, and then it destroyed it with a series of slashes.

　But he only managed to kill one, which was of no use. The third, the fourth…

　More and more "Mist Beasts" pounced on him because of his actions.

　He was fearless and fought bravely.

　a moment.

　The hand holding the sword suddenly flew out.

　Albert Grantham's arm was severed at the root!

　"The 'Holy Light Shield' remained intact, and 'Holy Protection' didn't even cause a fluctuation; it was an attack capable of penetrating the defense."

　Dark analyzed the situation with remarkable composure.

　"The Mist Beast that unleashed this attack must be superior to the other Mist Beasts." At this moment, Emily Grantham flew out like the wind, and the "Slow Angel" accompanying her released its strongest "Slow Aura".

　The "Mist Beasts" that wanted to attack it along the way were spared death thanks to the "Slowness Aura".

　Emily Grantham swung her cane sword at Albert's face, then quickly pulled him back after missing her target.

　Thanks to the "Slow Angel's" perfect performance, she successfully brought Albert Grantham back onto the magic carpet.

　As for his sword-wielding arm, it was retrieved by Professor Sylph using wind elemental manipulation the instant it flew out.

　Professor Cazell immediately prepared, saying, "If Professor Harvey were here, this minor surgery wouldn't even take three minutes."

　Albert Grantham's face was ashen; he was clearly unable to accept his sudden defeat.

　“Among those mist beasts, at least one is exceptionally powerful, Professor Sylph,” Dark said.

　Professor Sylph has already established a spiritual connection with "Sylph, the Wind Spirit King".

　Under the influence of this "soul link", Professor Sylph and "Wind Elf King Sylph" are almost synchronized in both thought and action.

　They can think in the same way, and their tacit understanding is like that of twins with a telepathic connection; they act in unison without needing to speak.

　By leveraging this linking effect, Professor Sylph was able to easily accomplish what no one could do alone.

　The simplest method is to unleash the ultimate moves simultaneously.

　She can use all the special moves available to "Wind Spirit Queen Sylph".

　And the wind elemental spells that she can chant and cast can also be used simultaneously by "Wind Elf Queen Sylph".

　The moment she had that thought, the wind element in the entire area fell completely under her control.

　A low hum of "Wind Blade" was heard.

　The group wind blade spell, which originally required a long time to chant and cast, was cast instantly.

　In the area ahead, one wind blade after another appeared, and in the blink of an eye, they were countless.

　Professor Sylph reached out and grabbed, and countless wind blades filled the entire space.

　There were no screams, no screams. There wasn't even the sound of it hitting the ground.

　It doesn't give you any sense of the "Mist Beasts" being killed. But those "Mist Beasts" are indeed dying in droves.

　But their bodies remain invisible and undetectable after death, disappearing into the mist.

　"boom!"

　The wind blades where Albert had been standing were instantly shattered, as if smashed open by something.

　A large "mist beast" tore a path through the wind blades.

　Professor Sylph narrowed her eyes, and at the same time, the "Wind Elemental Spear" condensed at the fingertips of "Wind Elf King Sylph".

　The two "Wind Element Guns" were fired simultaneously and merged into one in an instant, greatly increasing their power.

　That perhaps extremely powerful "Mist Beast" was instantly annihilated! But the "Mist Beasts" continued to surge, endlessly.

　Like whales, "mist beasts" emerged silently from behind the mountain peaks.

Chapter 960 Darkdemon and the Giant Whale (4k)

　"Wind blows!"

　After blindly killing the stronger "Mist Beast" with the "Wind Elemental Spear," Professor Sylph hooked her two fingers, which were joined together like a sword, upwards, and a gale immediately howled and swept upwards.

　The endless stream of "mist beasts" were blown upwards by the gale, then rolled into a ball and transformed into a hurricane.

　They cannot be seen or perceived, yet they possess form. And once they possess form, it means they can be touched.
