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

　Swords and blades feel real when they cut into you, and spells consume energy upon hitting you. A strong wind will create obstacles. (For those who want to read ahead, search Silk Road Novels website.)

　After Professor Sylph connected with "Wind Spirit King Sylph", she gained control of the wind in the entire area.

　Any "Mist Beast" that enters this area loses its mystery in its eyes.

　Once discovered, their characteristics, abilities, and weaknesses will be exposed.

　"Strong offense, weak defense, possessing the ability to penetrate external defenses and attack the main body."

　"The weakness is also obvious: it has an extreme lack of defensive means when it cannot be seen or perceived."

　"Moreover, in terms of attack, it did not demonstrate the ability to launch long-range attacks."

　"Therefore, as long as we use area-of-effect magic to bombard it, we can annihilate it."

　"But because their numbers are so great, we need to consider a protracted war." "But with Professor Sylph's abilities, she wouldn't really feel tired even if she fought them for a whole day and night."

　Dark looked away and turned to look behind him.

　The injured Albert Grantham was protected in the middle. He sat on the magic carpet, sweating profusely. His severed right arm had been reattached in a very short time, but it would take some time for him to fully recover.

　As the saying goes, everyone has their own expertise, and Professor Cazell is still no match for Professor Steven Harvey in this type of matter.

　Especially in "bone setting," Professor Harvey can even replace a bone for you on the spot.

　Professor Cazell could only try to cure it. If he were to force a replacement, it would most likely mean getting a prosthetic arm or something similar.

　After his arm was reattached, Albert Grantham applied several healing magic cards to his wound to minimize the pain and repair the injury as much as possible.

　At this point, at least on the surface, his right arm appeared to have fully recovered. But he did not so rashly pick up a sword again.

　When his right arm was chopped off by that "Mist Beast," it sounded an alarm bell in his mind, making him dare not relax for even a moment.

　Since that "Mist Beast" could sever his right arm and pierce his heart, he had undoubtedly just escaped death.

　He sat there, reflecting on his actions, his gaze gradually settling on the battlefield ahead.

　Professor Sylph's hurricane is already the size of a skyscraper.

　The "Wind King," which resembled a barrier, could no longer contain it and quickly retreated to the vicinity of the "Storm Carpet."

　It combined with the storm from the "Storm Carpet" to form an even more robust "barrier".

　The hurricane swept away the surrounding fog, thus expanding the visible field of vision significantly.

　Moreover, it showed no signs of weakening and continued to expand under Professor Sylph's control.

　The "Mist Beasts," which were swept into the hurricane along with the surrounding fog, were all instantly annihilated, with none escaping unscathed.

　Professor Sylph controlled the hurricane forward, actively entering the fog to wipe out the "fog beasts".

　These monsters, which suddenly appear after dark, are unpredictable and impossible to defend against.

　Only by seizing this opportunity and eliminating it with all our might can we remove the threat to those who come after us.

　Moreover, these "mist beasts" have a clear tendency to "fly like moths to a flame," and probably do not have any emotion like "fear." No matter how many die, they will continue to surge up.

　As it stands, the one with the greatest power among them is only comparable to the "Mist Beast" that cut off Albert's arm.

　With the strength of that "fog beast," it was like a mantis trying to stop a chariot, utterly powerless against this already formed hurricane.

　—The hurricane is still growing!

　Professor Sylph, expressionless, urged the wind elemental to continue concentrating, "feeding" the hurricane until it grew larger and larger.

　Meanwhile, on the magic carpet hundreds of meters away, all was growing calmer. "Hopefully this is the Mountain of Gods' final counterattack."

　After reattaching Albert's arm, Professor Cazell continued to observe his surroundings with a solemn expression.

　Dark looked up slightly towards the entrance of the "Heavenly Court" and said, "Once we cross this barrier, we should be able to reach the entrance of the 'Heavenly Court' smoothly."

　Professor Cazell said, "We must first overcome this hurdle!" Although Professor Sylph's hurricane had completely transformed into a millstone for crushing the "Mist Beasts," the "Mist Beasts" continued to swarm, and after such a long period of extermination, there was still no sign of their numbers decreasing.

　This made him vaguely sense that something was wrong.

　"Among creatures that generally possess such a large population, there must inevitably be an individual that symbolizes a 'king.'"

　"Moreover, although they travel with the fog, they clearly could not have been born from the fog."

　"How did such life forms come into being on this Mountain of the Gods, and how did they multiply to such a vast number?"

　“Sylph!”

　As he pondered this, Professor Kazel suddenly looked up, and the "Eye of Truth" emitted a brilliant light.

　Just a moment ago, he clearly didn't sense anything unusual. But a sense of panic arose in his heart.

　Professor Sylph, upon hearing Professor Cazell's reminder, instantly raised her senses to their limit.

　She couldn't sense the "Mist Beast," but she could make the wind spread to a farther and larger area.

　In that instant, she finally caught a glimpse of something. But the feeling was like "blind men touching an elephant"—only touching the tip of the iceberg, unable to immediately grasp the whole picture.

　However, it was precisely this that made him feel terrified.

　Professor Sylph's expression was extremely solemn. She couldn't help but temporarily release her control over the hurricane and divert her attention to spread the wind more quickly, forming a phenomenon that resembled a domain.

　However, it was already extremely difficult to expand that "Wind Domain" within the mist.

　She expanded as quickly as possible, but that only extended the vertical range of the area to a height of a few hundred meters.

　—But that still couldn't capture the full picture of that creature! Professor Sylph abruptly manipulated the hurricane to move in that direction. Then, without hesitation, she steered her magic carpet backward. Prioritizing safety above all else, she chose to avoid its brunt, just as she had when encountering a giant elephant.

　However, this was completely different from the encounter with the giant elephant. The creature moved silently and with incredible speed. By the time you noticed it, it was already there.

　The "Wind Domain" was cut off the moment the "Storm Carpet" tried to accelerate.

　Moreover, it was cut off from all four directions at once!

　Professor Sylph's face darkened as she realized she had lost her sense of the hurricane.

　It was as if a giant dome had fallen from the sky, instantly enveloping them and isolating them from the outside!

　Considering that the other party is very likely to be some kind of enormous beast, probably no less than that giant elephant.

　Their current predicament is almost immediately obvious. "We've been eaten!"

　Professor Sylph said in a deep voice...

　Emerging silently from behind the mountain peak, a colossal "mist beast," resembling a whale, swept over and swallowed Dark and the others whole in a single gulp.

　Its size was even larger than that of the giant elephant.

　Its height alone exceeds that of a giant elephant, and its length from head to tail is even more astonishing.

　To these "Mist Beasts," the mist of the Mountain of the Gods is like ocean water. They live and swim in the mist, just like fish in the sea.

　After swallowing Dark and the others, the whale-like "Mist Beast" simply turned slightly and smashed the terrifyingly powerful hurricane to pieces.

　Then it swam silently in the rapidly recovering fog, heading towards its nest located in the belly of the mountain.

　Inside its belly, the "Mist Beasts" that had swallowed Dark and the others began to pounce on them.

　Professor Sylph maintained control over the surrounding wind elements and immediately discovered and began clearing out the "mist beasts".

　The surroundings were shrouded in mist, making it impossible to tell that it had been swallowed.

　Even if the fog inside the creature's belly is completely dispelled, the creature's form will remain invisible, and only the fog outside will be visible.

　The waves of "mist beasts" that attacked were cleared out one after another, yet they kept coming in endlessly!

　Dark and the others did not panic because they were suddenly swallowed by a creature.

　Bishop Sabrina Melville swiftly activated a magic card, adding a layer of defense around the "Storm Carpet".

　Professor Sylph even deduced the creature's approximate size by "measuring" its internal space.

　“We can call it a giant whale for now,” she said.

　After careful observation, Professor Kazel said, "This giant whale originally contained a large number of smaller 'Mist Beasts,' which were responsible for the digestive system. Perhaps we can find the secret to their inexhaustible energy production within this whale."

　“Professor,” Dark asked, “Aren’t you going out?” Professor Cazell replied, “Let’s take a look first.”

　He couldn't resist wanting to explore the secrets of this incredible creature. Dark nodded and placed the "Cute Beast" he had already summoned onto the magic carpet.

　He can use "Elysium V" to evolve "MomoSay" into (Fairy Beast).

　Using the "Fairy Barrier" of the "Fairy Beast," a long-distance group teleportation can be performed, bringing everyone out of the giant whale's belly.

　But since Professor Kazel wants to explore the unknown, there's no rush. Besides, he's equally curious about how those "Mist Beasts" came into being.

　He did not sense any divinity from those "Mist Beasts," nor did "Magic Beast: Goddess of the Mind's Eye" see any flow of divine energy.

　Just as Dark was thinking this, "Magical Beast: Goddess of the Mind's Eye" suddenly frowned and said, "I see the flow of divine energy!"

　Darke immediately shut up, thankfully not blurting out his analysis. Professor Sylph raised an eyebrow and said, "Lead the way."

　"Magical Beast: Goddess of the Mind's Eye" immediately pointed out the direction of the divine energy flow.

　While clearing away the "Mist Beasts," Professor Sylph manipulated the "Storm Carpet" to fly deep into the giant whale's body, guided by the "Magic Beast: Goddess of the Mind's Eye."

　Just minutes later, they arrived before a chamber. It was another invisible spherical chamber, but a faint divine aura was emanating from it.

　Professor Kazel patted the "alchemy beast" beside him, which then emerged from the barrier and swam into the chamber.

　The "alchemy beast" quickly found the entrance to the chamber and then carefully crawled inside.

　Not long after, it retrieved a bead from the chamber! The bead was about the size of a standard crystal ball, and it was transparent, but it emitted a faint glow from the inside out.

　"Is this it?" Professor Cazell asked.

　"Magical Beast: Goddess of the Mind's Eye" nodded, "Yes, that's right." "The aura of water element," Professor Kazel said. "If we're just making a simple deduction, it should belong to the divine object of Poseidon, the 'God of the Sea.'"

　"Among the twelve celestial beings, the one who possesses a branch of authority over water is not only the 'God of the Sea,' but they also have subordinate deities," Bishop Sabrina said.

　Professor Kazel said, "So it's just a simple deduction. Moreover, little divinity remains in this orb. Unless infused with corresponding divine power, it's difficult to unleash its original power. But we can infer that the giant whale gradually transformed into its current form by absorbing the divine power within this orb. The other 'Mist Beasts' may be its offspring, or they may simply be parts of its body."

　After saying that, he said with some regret, "As it stands, even if we remove it from the giant whale's body, it will no longer be able to have a significant impact on it."

　Professor Sylph suddenly said, "We have to find a way to quiet it down."

　Professor Cazell nodded and said, "Yes, I will."

　Dark quickly understood that the giant whale was like an "oil snake" that had not yet been forged into a god. It had undergone a transformation by absorbing divine power, but still could not cross that threshold.

　Moreover, it is very likely that it is not just one step away from success, like the "oil snake".

　In terms of rank, it is far inferior to that giant elephant. But if it were just a contest of physical strength, it wouldn't be necessarily a matter of who is stronger.

　But if that's all there is to it, it's not difficult to deal with.

　Professor Cazell said, "Attacking them from within is a more conventional method. But if we can find out why they are attacking us, it won't take much effort."

　As he spoke, he turned to look at Dark and said, "That whale should have stopped moving. Let's go out."

　Dark nodded slightly, then took out "Elysium V" and silently summoned it. The three members of the Holy Church subconsciously squinted to observe.

　Under the light of bliss, "Momomon" undergoes a super evolution: "Fairymon"!

　"Fairymon, use 'Fairy Barrier'." "Yes."

　With a sudden burst of concentration, the "Fairy Beast" used its fairy power to create a barrier that enveloped the entire "Storm Carpet".

　“Group teleportation,” Dark said.

　The next instant, they left the giant whale's body and appeared inside the mountain's abdominal cavity.

Chapter 961 Reunion, Statue, and Golden Lettering (4k)

　The abdominal cavity of a mountain peak.

　Dark and the others appeared silently above the giant whale. The Fairy Beast's Fairy Barrier could block out auras and conceal its form, so they didn't have to worry about being discovered for the time being.

　However, the separation of the water-elemental pearl caused the giant whale to immediately become agitated upon realizing it.

　Even though the remaining divinity within that water-elemental orb was extremely weak, it was still the divine object that had transformed it, possessing value beyond its practical function.

　The giant whale, having lost the pearl, treated it as if it had lost something of equal value to its life, and its frenzied actions shattered the rock walls of the mountain's interior layer by layer.

　Under Professor Sylph's control, the "Storm Carpet" skillfully dodged the flying debris.

　Although Professor Sylph had restrained her extensive manipulation of the wind element to avoid being discovered, the traces left by the giant whale crashing against the rock wall were enough for her to simulate the whale's shape and location in her mind.

　The others were carefully observing their surroundings.

　Given the enormous size of a whale, the area it could use as a nest must be extremely large.
