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

　After the "Moon Chariot" escaped this time, it gradually returned to its normal 1.5x speed.

　While this normal speed is still extremely fast, after experiencing the madness of 4.5 times the speed, Dark suddenly felt that it was not enough.

　A growing sense of anxiety began to grow within him.

　"Fantasy Beast: Goddess of the Mind" and "Fantasy Beast: God of Destruction" are positioned on the left and right, respectively, to offer comfort.

　He counted the time meticulously, down to the minute and second.

　Five minutes had passed, and the "Moon Chariot" still hadn't arrived at the place indicated by the lost prophecy.

　Instead, a familiar aura suddenly appeared behind the "Moon God's Chariot"!

　Dak leaned out of the car window and in the blink of an eye saw the giant black eagle that should have been left far behind!

　If the spider is the king of waiting patiently for prey, then this giant eagle is the king of predators.

　Even after being left far behind, it still caught up. It had the kind of aggressive drive that would hunt down its prey to the death once it had locked onto it.

　Knowing that it was impossible to lure the giant eagle to Aurora like that, Dak immediately changed his tactics.

　"Hey--"

　Suddenly, the cry of a giant eagle rang out.

　The black shadows had already begun to creep in.

　The giant eagle, using some unknown ability, vanished the instant Dark saw it with his naked eye.

　Then, without a sound, it appeared directly above the "Chariot of the Moon Goddess".

　This is exactly the same scene as when it first appeared.

　The difference is that the "Lunar Chariot" did not accelerate to dodge at this moment.

　"May our gathered prayers become a shining star of new life, transforming into a path of radiant light! Special Summon, fly, Stardust Dragon!"

　A dazzling "Walk of Fame" stretched across the sky. The Stardust Dragon arrived in response to prayers!

　The black giant eagle's iron claws viciously slashed down from the roof of the "Moon Goddess's Chariot," filled with the rage of its pursuit.

　With only 2500 points of defense, the "Moon God's Chariot" was as fragile as paper in front of those iron claws.

　It had absolutely no chance of blocking this claw attack.

　However, the "Avenue of Stars" descending from the sky blocked the iron claws. No metallic clang was heard in the air, but the giant eagle's hate-filled claw strike failed to achieve its goal.

　The Nine-Star Dragon, possessing both light and flight attributes, flew out from the "Avenue of Stars".

　Its rank is raised by one level under the effect of this "Summoning by Prayer" effect, and its magic power, attack and defense are all increased by 500 points at the same time, reaching a surface data of 5000/5500/5000.

　With the special summoning of "Stardust Dragon", a "Stardust Dragon" is summoned along with it at the same time it materializes.

　The ferocious dragon, its body shimmering with stardust, stretched out its weapon-like form and swooped down on the giant eagle.

　"Stardust Dragon, Meteor Sonic Strike!"

　Without the slightest hesitation, Dark gave him the order to unleash his strongest finishing move!

　"Roar--"

　The Stardust Dragon suddenly raised its head and roared, and above its head, a series of dazzling starlight appeared—a meteor shower falling from the sky!

　"blind--"

　The cry of the giant eagle mingled with the roar of the Stardust Dragon. After its sure-fire swoop was blocked, the giant eagle suddenly lowered its head and pecked at the Stardust Dragon's head with its beak, which was harder than steel.

　In that instant, a very special jet-black light shone on its beak.

　A malevolent and filthy aura suddenly erupted. Although "Stardust Dragon" was a nine-star magical spirit, it couldn't withstand the attack of this giant eagle, which was at least a twelve-star strong, simply by relying on its defense.

　Moreover, it imbued this attack with a special corrosive ability. If nothing unexpected happens, this peck will pierce through the Stardust Dragon's hard scales, smashing its skull open!

　But at that critical moment, "Stardust Dragon" suddenly appeared between the two.

　The giant eagle's beak struck the "Stardust Dragon" hard. But this was the fate of this companion dragon.

　—It did not die.

　Even with the special corrosive power added to its beak, it still couldn't surpass the power of the rules.

　— The Stardust Dragon's death immunity mechanism, which occurs every thirty seconds, was triggered instantly, preventing it from dying or suffering even the slightest damage.

　Meanwhile, a massive meteor shower was falling from above.

　The Stardust Dragon suddenly opened its mouth and sprayed meteor-like light at the giant eagle.

　The ultimate move, "Meteor Sonic Strike," consists of two attacks: one is a shower of meteors falling from the sky, and the other is a single beam of light shot out from its mouth.

　If the meteor's brilliance hits a summoned creature, it can dispel the summon and return the creature to its original location.

　Of course, this giant eagle was not a summoned creature; it simply took full damage from the "dragon's breath."

　That damage wasn't low.

　However, the black giant eagle, whose entire body was covered in metal feathers, displayed an extremely terrifying defensive capability.

　It suddenly looked up at the falling meteor shower.

　Suddenly, it spread its wings, and the black light emanating from its body converged into a black curtain that blotted out the sky, actually blocking the terrifying meteor shower!

　At this moment.

　The "Moon Chariot" has already created some distance. The "Stardust Dragon" and the giant eagle continue their fierce battle. The two sides are not evenly matched in terms of basic strength.

　However, Stardust Dragon, by using Stardust Baby Dragon, was always able to block the giant eagle's concentrated attacks, making the latter feel extremely frustrated and powerless.

　Dark put the "Demon King Aldrich" back in his hand and then left the battlefield completely with the "Lunar Chariot".

　Using "Stardust Dragon" is enough to hold back the giant eagle.

　If it catches up with Dak after he finds Aurora, then we'll have no choice but to sacrifice it as a sacrifice!

　The road ahead was not peaceful either.

　Although the giant eagle had basically lost the ability to continue its pursuit after being held back by the "Stardust Dragon".

　However, creatures similar to giant eagles and spiders are not uncommon in this realm. But none of them are as persistent as that giant eagle.

　After using the speed of the "Lunar Chariot" to leave them behind, they all turned their attention to their next prey.

　And Dark finally saw the "pollutants" along the way. He saw with his own eyes creatures inhaling the thin black mist floating in the air. He also saw a huge, squid-like creature perched on a hill full of pollutants.

　The squid is not afraid of the "pollutants"; on the contrary, it has adapted to their corrosive effects.

　That hill was the first place Dak saw that had the most "pollutants".

　The appearance of "pollutants" further confirms that this is indeed the "Heavenly Court".

　However, the current "Heavenly Court" is completely different from the past.

　Meanwhile, as Dark searched for Aurora.

　Just as the three teams in the flesh-and-blood tunnel began to doubt whether the tunnel had an end, they finally reached the end of the tunnel!

　But the doubts were not dispelled.

　Instead, it became even more concentrated.

　At the end of that bloody passage, they encountered someone unexpected. The pumpkin carriage at the front, flying high, came to a stop amidst a throng of menacing eyes. The rest of the procession also gradually slowed down.

　Professor Sylph opened the carriage door and stepped out of the pumpkin carriage.

　She stood on the platform, looking intently at the person in front of her.

　Bishop Sabrina Melville, riding a unicorn, came to her.

　side.

　Their gazes, however, swept past the elves blocking their path and landed at the end of the flesh-and-blood tunnel—where countless chunks of flesh and writhing buds were piled up, thick blood vessels tightly intertwined, and blood seemed to still be flowing within them.

Chapter 969 The End of the Flesh and Blood Passage (4k)

　When I looked again, I was still filled with horror.

　At the end of that passage, flesh and blood piled up like a mountain, with thick blood vessels emerging from the fresh flesh and blood, weaving back and forth.

　Bright red buds throbbed on the surface of the flesh, densely packed, sending chills down one's spine.

　The elven ranks stood at the very end, each with their own duties. They had clearly crossed the Mountain of the Gods earlier than Dark and the others, reaching the summit and entering the passage leading to the "Heavenly Court."

　And judging from the situation, it's been quite a while!

　Professor Sylph's eyes twitched and her eyelids twitched violently. After glancing at the writhing flesh, her gaze shifted downwards and landed on the Moon Elf High Priest—Bellamy Artemis.

　Bellamy Artemis was still wearing that snow-white priestess robe embroidered with gold trim. Her beautiful face, which showed no signs of her age, was expressionless, but her eyes were filled with a chilling coldness.

　In Aurora's absence, she completely lost that kind and amiable demeanor that made her seem like a benevolent old woman.

　But this is the true nature of the moon elves.

　They are born into a high position and, like saints in the church, value their own purity and need to maintain a distance from the lower classes.

　Bloodline and environment factors have shaped the generally aloof and indifferent personalities of the moon elves.

　The current situation is unusual; the elven team, like the human team, has clearly encountered unexpected trouble.

　When Professor Sylph turned her gaze back, she had roughly figured out the situation of this elven team.

　She didn't know how many people the elves brought with them when they entered the Mountain of the Gods. But now, at the end of this passage, only a dozen or so elf members remained.

　Among these dozen or so people, there were six moon elves, including Bellamy Artemis, and the rest were grassland elves, forest elves, and so on.

　At this moment, two moon elves stood on either side of the end of the passage, one on the left and one on the right. The magic circles under their feet were constantly spreading and changing, and their bodies were shrouded in an unusual blood aura.

　From Professor Isilf's perspective, they seemed to be trying to purify the flesh and blood at the end of the passage through some method, but the effect was not satisfactory.

　Furthermore, the younger elves were also not seen in this group.

　Did they also disappear, or were they never even in the first place?

　Professor Sylph's mind raced, gathering information, analyzing and making judgments. A few whispered words, along with the "blessing of the wind spirits," reached the ears of the rest of the carriage.

　Professor Cazell and Professor Mitia emerged from the carriage afterward, both with furrowed brows, staring intently at the scene.

　Count Gavin North from the North had also moved from the back to the front of the line.

　Earl Stanley Longfellow, accompanied by his guard Gwen, followed closely behind. The moment Earl Longfellow reached them, he exclaimed, "What's going on? What are the elves doing here? Is the passage blocked by something? Why aren't we continuing?"

　Although his shouts were unpleasant, they broke the silence between the human and elven groups.

　Several elves were on high alert the moment the human group appeared, their eyes radiating a faint hostility.

　High Priest Bellamy Artemis had even sharper eyes, weaving through the human ranks like a blade.

　“Mitya Bartholomew”.

　Bellamy Artemis's gaze finally fell on Professor Mitis, who came out next.

　When the academy made contact with the elves, Professor Mitia was the apparent leader.

　But at this moment, the moon elf high priest called out her name, not as a greeting, but directly asked, "Where is Aurora?"

　"It's a long story." Professor Mitia looked at the elven team, each member exuding a powerful aura, and chose to first ascertain the situation.

　With Aurora's whereabouts currently unknown, it's impossible for her to claim that she was taken away by Hermes based solely on speculation.

　Even if I told her, I don't know if the Moon Elf High Priestess would believe me.

　Ultimately, what exactly did the elves, who arrived here before them, know?

　Whether there was a discrepancy in the information between the two sides, and whether they could trust each other, was unclear. However, Professor Medea's intentions were immediately seen through by High Priest Bellamy Artemis, whose face turned cold as she rebuked, "Aurora is in trouble!"

　Professor Mitya, facing Bellamy Artemis's reprimand, felt as if she were facing a parent who had come to the school demanding an explanation. She felt guilty but powerless to change the situation and could only grit her teeth and bear the parents' anger.

　At this crucial moment, Professor Sylph spoke up, saying, "We've encountered the same situation."

　Bellamy Artemis's expression remained cold, but her aura had lost some of its sharpness.

　She looked at the leaders of the human group and clapped her hands. Two forest elves who had already drawn their bows gradually lowered them, and a faint green magic power dissipated from them.

　Bellamy Artemis slowly began to speak: "Come over and let's talk."

　It was extremely rare for the Moon Elf High Priestess to take the initiative to invite humans to discuss matters. However, Bellamy Artemis had reached a point where she had no other options, and she also had pent-up emotions that needed to be released.
